How to build a maid pully under patio?

Hi, I've just moved into a rental with no clothesline, I clean a holiday houses and also do the linen for them.  I have a big patio area and would like to know how to make a maid pulley.  I need it at 3 meters with probably 6 lines.with 40cm between lines.

Re: Maid Pully under my patio

Hello @misha 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about building a maid pulley.

 

Was there a specific design you had in mind? At three meters long it would be quite heavy when fully loaded with clothing or damp shirts from the laundry. Would you prefer to have a split set so that its not so heavy when being pulled. If you can post a sample image of what you are trying to emulate, our members will be more than happy to offer ideas on how to build one.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Re: Maid Pully under my patio

Hello @misha 

 

While trying to look for your maid pully I happen to have seen this discussion - Farmhouse mudroom and laundry makeover by @Natalya. They have a hanging laundry rack, would that be similar to your maid pulley? There is also a Bunnings guide - How To Make A D.I.Y. Hanging Drying Rack, would this be suitable for your needs?
