Product Information

Full details

The Monster Shop 6 Lath Clothes Airer is designed for homeowners looking to maximize drying space in compact areas by utilizing vertical space near the ceiling. It offers a highly efficient way to dry garments using natural rising heat, making it an excellent sustainable alternative to tumble dryers; however, it requires a secure, high-ceiling installation and manual assembly of the pulley system before first use.

FAQs

Can this be installed on a sloped ceiling?

The airer is designed for flat ceilings. Installation on sloped ceilings would require custom modifications not provided with the kit.

What is the total length of the unit?

The unit measures 240cm in length.

How much weight can it hold?

When installed correctly into solid joists, it can support a full load of typical laundry, though it should not be used as a storage rack for excessively heavy items.

Is the rope included?

Yes, the product includes the necessary rope and pulley hardware for assembly.

Does it come pre-assembled?

No, the laths and cast-iron ends require assembly upon installation.

Troubleshooting

The airer does not stay at the desired height.

Ensure the wall cleat is installed securely and that the rope is properly wrapped in a figure-eight pattern around the cleat horns.

The pulley is difficult to operate.

Check that the rope is seated correctly in the pulley wheels and ensure the rope is not tangled or rubbing against the cast-iron frame.

The airer feels wobbly or loose.

Verify that the mounting screws are tightened fully into the ceiling joists; if they are loose, relocate the mounting points to a stronger section of the joist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maximizes unused ceiling space
  • Eco-friendly drying method reduces energy costs
  • Traditional aesthetic fits various home interiors
  • Heavy-duty cast iron components ensure stability
  • Large 240cm length accommodates bedding and large loads

Cons

  • Requires professional or careful DIY installation into ceiling joists
  • Assembly of the pulley and rope system is time-intensive
  • Not suitable for low-ceiling rooms
  • Full load can be heavy to hoist manually

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires mounting the pulley brackets into solid wood ceiling joists to ensure the unit can support the weight of wet laundry. Avoid mounting directly into plasterboard alone.

  1. Locate Joists: Identify the ceiling joists using a stud finder.
  2. Install Pulleys: Secure the cast-iron pulley ends firmly into the joists.
  3. Thread Rope: Feed the provided cord through the pulley system and tie off at the wall-mounted cleat.
  4. Care: To keep the pine laths in top condition, wipe them clean with a dry cloth periodically. Avoid overloading the unit with extremely heavy wet items (like soaked wool blankets) beyond the recommended capacity. Check the rope for fraying annually.
