FAQs

Can I use this kit for other brands of drying racks?

No, this suspension cable kit is specifically designed and tested for use with the Foxydry Air and Foxydry Pro models only.

What is the maximum weight capacity of this kit?

The kit is designed to support the standard weight of laundry when used with the Foxydry Air or Pro. Always refer to the Foxydry drying rack's manual for its specific weight limit and avoid overloading.

How long are the steel suspension wires?

The steel suspension wires are 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) in length and are adjustable to suit different installation requirements.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Basic tools like a drill, screwdriver, and possibly a level might be needed. For sloped or difficult ceilings, professional installation might be recommended, which would involve appropriate tools for that specific ceiling type.

Is this kit suitable for outdoor use?

The kit is made from rust-resistant steel, making it suitable for humid environments or covered outdoor areas. However, prolonged direct exposure to harsh weather conditions is not recommended.

How many mounting points are required?

The kit requires a minimum of four secure mounting points on the ceiling, using the included eyebolts, to attach the four suspension wires of the drying rack.

Troubleshooting

Drying rack is not level

Adjust the length of the individual steel suspension wires until the rack is balanced and level.

Eyebolts feel loose in the ceiling

Remove the eyebolt, check the mounting hole, and reinstall with appropriate anchors or consider a different, more secure location. Professional consultation may be needed for difficult materials.

Clamps are difficult to attach to the rack

Ensure you are using the correct clamps provided with the kit and that they are aligned with the rack's frame as per the Foxydry rack's manual.

Rust or corrosion appearing on the wires

Clean the wires with a damp cloth. While the steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh moisture without ventilation can affect appearance. Ensure the area has adequate airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This kit is exclusively designed for the Foxydry Air and Foxydry Pro drying racks.

Setup:

  1. Identify secure mounting points on your ceiling. For sloped or beamed ceilings, ensure the chosen points are structurally sound.

  3. Attach the 8 clamps to the Foxydry drying rack's frame.
  4. Connect the 1.5-meter steel suspension wires from the ceiling eyebolts to the clamps on the drying rack.

Care:

  • Ensure the drying rack is not overloaded to maintain the integrity of the suspension system.
