Extendable Retractable Clothes Washing Line - Keep Garden Tidy - Attach to Wall Fence

Product Information

This boundary fence in solely-owned /maintained by me (including the solid upright fence post and my arris-rail close-boarded street-facing fence). Hi there – My neighbour has built a big shed and bin shelter along my fence. My fence is fairly old and I might want to replace it in the next few years. She has put the shed only 3 cms from my fence posts (which are on her side) and 7cm from the fence itself. There is no way anyone can get behind it to maintain my fence, and she is also unable to ever maintain her own shed. It seems a deliberate harmful act. The builder has then put ugly drains running down which overhang my fence posts, to take all the water from a nearby garage roof to a waterbutt on the far side of the shed. The shed roof and gutters overhangs my fence posts as well and the gutters are so tiny that I don’t think they will do the job of catching water. I am now totally unable to access my own fence for any future painting or maintenance. My neighbour and her builder have had a 6 year harassment with building works, police have been involved, they have caused immense stress to my partner and I, and have now done this. Does this count as trespass if her works sit over my fence posts? (But finish before the fence itself). And is there any law saying she has to keep access available to my fence? I have asked local planning but they say their rules only apply to shed height, not distance from a boundary. Reply Ideally you will need two people, one to hold the post, one to pour in the postcrete. Use a spirit level, post level or a plumb line to get the post vertical. Then pour in the powder and add water. It will set in a couple of minutes so you don't have much time to adjust the post. Give it 24 hours before you use the post. They are both cheap to hire, cheap to buy and readily available from most DIY stores, online or from your local builders merchant. There are however a few other options that also need mentioning: Manual Fence Post Auger

The Best Wall-Mounted Washing Lines - Lean Green Home

The general rule is when setting a fence post into the ground, the height required above the ground should be divided by 3 and this figure is the hole depth required. The width of the post hole should be 3 times the width of diameter of the post. The petrol fence post auger is in essence pretty much the same as its manual counterpart with the only difference being that instead of have manually screwing the thread down into the ground, there’s a petrol engine to do the work for you – fantastic you might be thinking! But hold on a sec, this isn’t as ideal as it sounds.Ok - washing lines, you need to use a heavy duty hook if fixing to a wall, you need to realise washing can be quite heavy when wet which causes the line to sag. My husband couldn’t believe it! I was at work thankfully because I would have hit the roof. My temper isn’t quite as calm as my DH’s. Technically you can dig a hole with a standard shovel, but the hole will always be as wide as the shovel itself and this may be too wide or too narrow, depending on the shovel. You can also get smaller “1 person” power fence post augers or ground drills that perform fairly well in soft and loose soil, but do tend to struggle in something more substantial. After writing to the new tenants next door in July 2020 confirming that they are “not to touch my boundary Hawthorne hedge” they were captured on CCTV in August 2020 chopping all the top of my hedge (against my letter to “not touch my hedge”) and dragging at the top of my hedge with a rake; the police did not help and the tenants have now hung Christmas lights along the side of my Hawthorne hedge. I do not care for measuring how many millimeters or even centimetres a few of the branches of my Hawthorne may be slightly overhanging… The fact is, I’ve told them in writing to not touch my boundary hedge, and this is why I had to put it in writing in the first place, as they are disrespecting me (and also their landlord) by constantly causing trouble…

Be direct, fix your fence post because they don't have to contribute and won't do so. Tell them that they need to get a rotary line, put it all in writing and copy in the letting agent and the land lord. Send the letting agent and landlord a letter explaining what's happening and the damage done, ask them to put a rotary line in the garden to avoid this happening again, tell them that if it continues you will take further action.”

HOA’s and Local Communities oftentimes believe that washlines are aesthetically displeasing and don’t contribute to the well-being of a community. Reviewers from TheSpruce.com personally tested and provided a great list of the best washlines available this year (2021). Here is what they found and will best apply to putting up a washline on a fence. Cheaper, more readily available outdoor washlines can be found through Home Depot, Walmart, or even Dollar Tree. Otherwise, a scaffold pole would be OK I suppose (I've no idea how much they cost), and I've got one in my garden although it's got a cross-piece near the top to tie the line to.
