RUBBISH clothes line pulleys

Mr_Ted

As my other half has recently had shoulder problems that mean she difficulty reaching up, plus the fact that our garden is terrace, I decided to reconfigure the clothes line to one I had seen at my Daughters neighbour, American Amish style of pulleys and line that mean you can stand in one spot and move the line along via the pulleys.

Great idea, and it works fine, however, the pulleys I used were these, which are available from several outlets>>>

DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT USING THEM, THEY ARE RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Within 3 days of putting them up, and the installation was done correctly with a tensioner on the cable/line, and I even added springs at either fixing points to alleviate additional stress by added wet washing, the pulleys totally collapsed?

The spokes broke away from the wheel as they are tack welded very poorly and insufficiently and the wheel itself also buckled, absolute rubbish quality, AVOID AT ALL COSTS :eek:

If you should decide to go this route, and it is a good system if the constituent parts are of good quality, get the KIT from the States!
