Whether you're switching to air drying for your laundry or looking for an upgrade for your current clothesline situation, this extra large parallel clothesline dryer is a smart and efficient solution. This clothesline comes with a plastic ground sleeve that should ideally be cemented into the ground for maximum stability. When not in use, the aluminum top folds down and the pole can be removed from the ground anchor, so you can remove the dryer during inclement weather which we recommend. The clothesline comes ready to assemble in just three parts. To install with ground sleeve - 1. Dig a hole 8-12"" in diameter and 20"" deep. The hole should be wider at the bottom than at the top. 2. Fill the hole with about 3"" of small rocks, then pour about 6"" of concrete into the hole or until concrete comes to the bottom of the ground sleeve when held flush with the ground. 3. Holding the sleeve in place, finish filling the hole with concrete you may leave a small gap to fill in with dirt and grass if you wish. 4. Immediately run a stick or tube through the sleeve and through the concrete to the rock base to allow water to drain. 5. Insert the lower vertical pole of the dryer into the sleeve, then use a level to align the pole vertically. 6. Remove pole and allow concrete to set fully, then install your dryer.
