How to fit a retractable washing line?

[Jemster]

I am planning to get one of these from Argos this week but want to make sure I can fit it. On the website it shows the item but there's no picture showing what it attaches to and how.
Can anyone help please?

Well ours is just screwed into a fence post. We then have a hook (x2) on a distant fence post. It had two lines and we use a line prop to hold the line up

Ours is on a bracket that is screwed to the wall, I have a pole to wrap it round then it doubles back to a hook at the other side of the wall.

Ours had no fittings so you may need rawl (?) plugs and screws.

Hi there - I've had two of these; one had a single line and the current one has two lines.

Both were fitted to external walls of the house - holes drilled, rawl plugs pushed in and screws. At our old house with a small courtyard garden it was attached to the left hand side of the extension as you looked at it. I hooked the end over a cuphook on the corner of the wall on the right hand side then pulled it out to a double ended hook screwed into the back wall which I wrapped the line around in a figure of eight. This gave me two lots of line to hang washing on, instead of just one, in a V shape.

We have a longer garden now so we fitted cup hooks to fence posts on either side of the garden and the lines fit over those and I use a prop to hold the line up.

I got ours from TK Maxx.

Thank you, we do have fence posts so guess we would use them. it looks like I would need to buy the prop separately?

Morrisons sell props for about 4 - modern, adjustable height ones that hook over the line. At our old house, we didn't need props as the lengths of line were shorter and taughter.

We went to B&Q for proper masonry screws and put it into a wall. We also bought extra hooks so we can put it at different lengths and shapes depending on how much washing. The hooks make a rectangle so the line can go straight or zigzag or X.

Then the fecking thing broke after one year so now I have a normal line tied to the hooks

If you are looking in Argos, we have the Minky double one. It was a few quid cheaper in TK Maxx but it was one of those 'they happened to have one in shortly after we'd moved' moments.
