We install rotary washing lines properly - dug deep, concreted solid, positioned for the best drying. No more wobbly posts or lines that lean when you hang out the sheets.
### Getting It Solid
A washing line seems simple until yours is leaning at 45 degrees with a full load on it. We've seen them all - shallow holes, weak concrete, positioned in the shadiest corner of the garden because someone didn't think it through.
We dig to the right depth (60cm minimum), use proper concrete mix, ensure it's perfectly level, and position it where it'll actually get sun and airflow. Your washing line should last years without moving.
### Position Matters
Where you put a washing line makes a massive difference to how well your washing dries. We'll advise on the best spot considering sun position, prevailing wind, access from your back door, and whether it'll annoy you when you're trying to mow the lawn.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Position it so the prevailing wind blows across the lines, not along them. Much better airflow, faster drying.

What to Expect
**1. Site Assessment** We check where you want it, confirm it's a good position (or suggest better), and make sure there's no pipes or cables below. Quick measure and quote. **2. Installation** We dig the hole, set the socket dead level, concrete it in place, and make sure it's aligned properly. Takes 1.5-2.5 hours depending on ground conditions. Soil and excess concrete removed. **3. Ready to Use** Socket concreted and curing. We'll let you know when it's ready to use (24-48 hours). If you've supplied the line, we can fit that too once concrete is set.

Good to Know
**Combine with:** - Patio cleaning before positioning - Garden clearance to create better access - Lawn repairs after installation **Related services:** - Fence repairs (good fences make good neighbors when hanging washing) - Paving for area underneath (no muddy feet) - Shed assembly (for storing pegs and line) **Seasonal tips:** Can be installed year-round, but concrete cures slower in winter. Summer installations cure quicker. Avoid frosty days - frost damages fresh concrete.
Frequently Asked Questions about Rotary Washing Line Installation in Crediton
How deep do you concrete the socket?
We dig down 60cm minimum and use a proper concrete mix. It needs to be solid - nothing worse than a washing line that leans when you load it up with wet towels.
Can you move an existing washing line?
Yes, we can relocate it to a better spot. We'll dig out the old socket, fill the hole properly, and install it in the new location. Just make sure the new position gets decent sun and wind.
Do I need to buy the washing line?
You can supply your own or we can source one for you. If you're buying, get a decent quality one - the cheap ones don't last. We'll include the socket, concrete, and all fixings in our quote.
How long before I can use it?
The concrete needs 24-48 hours to cure properly before you load it with washing. We know that's annoying when you've got laundry piling up, but better to wait than have it lean.
