How to repair folding clothesline?

Our son has hung off the right side of the clothesline and it's no longer level. It keeps dropping. 

How can I fix this??

One side doesn't fully stay up

Hi @JaninaG,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

 

Do you have some photos of the clothesline that you can share?

 

It seems likely that if one side of the clothesline doesn't fully stay up, then the mechanism that holds the clothesline in place has worn down, broken, or there is something preventing it from locking in place.

 

On the sagging side, can you inspect the location where the clothesline connects to the vertical support and take some photos?

 

With these photos, I can better help troubleshoot the issue.

 

Look for missing screws, springs or locking pins and compare with the other side of the clothesline.

 

Let me know how you go.

 

Jacob
