Strata Clothesline Kit Super Heavy Duty

I’m glad I bought this, even though the installation instructions are worthless. Fortunately the parts are easy to figure out. There was more than enough heavy duty cord. I had to cut off quite a bit, and the extra cord can be used for other projects. There is a piece included that is not shown in a diagram, or even mentioned in the written instructions, but I finally figured it out. Basically you will have to figure it out. The instructions will not help. The diagram does not show how to use the part that cinches together the two loose ends. Each end goes in one side, facing each other. Both ends are then twisted in a little ratchet device that closes the “loop” and tightens the cord. This is very sturdy, and I’m thrilled with the quality.

I love my new Strata clothesline! We mounted one pulley at the edge of our deck on a post that we installed. The other pulley is mounted high up the trunk of a large tree at the edge of the woods. The clothesline stretches across our yard a little over 60 feet and is ten feet off the ground. I only have to take a few steps out the back door to hang the clothes and because it is so high off of the ground it is out of the way. I purchased two more spacers to go along with the one that came with the kit. Start with placing one spacer on the lines before you start hanging and the one every ten feet or so to keep the line from sagging. You will need to tighten the line with the winch tightener after the first few uses as the line will stretch a bit when first set up. The kit comes with 150 feet of wire so you could go longer then the sixty feet that we did. I am so happy with the whole set up, it is almost fun doing the laundry!

Worked perfectly.

Great setup that is easy to install despite the horrible instructions. Since I am a do it yourself kind of person, I had to figure it out on my own and it took some trial and error. The orientation of the pulleys isn't at all clear but I hung them with the hole in the housing toward the ground and guessed it is maybe a hole where one could hang a bag of clothes pins. The device provided to hold the cables together doesn't work very well and there is no real explanation regarding the proper installation. As a result, I had to try using variations and I'm still not sure it's right because it still pops off. It is definitely worth keeping it on in because it prevents the line from drooping too much when you have the line full of clothes. UPDATE: This is my second clothes line from Strata. It's been at least five years since buying the first and it has held up well with one exception. However, I made a mistake on the initial installation. One end I attached to a large maple tree. In the years since it has worked fine until now when I learned the tree had absorbed the entire hook and part of the wheel mechanism. It is buried and there was no way to get it out but when I tried I broke the frame part that holds the wheel. It's why I had to buy another. This time I made a wooden plaque to screw into the tree then I installed the wheel mechanism so the absorption can be avoided. Still, it will require closer examination from time to time. Finally the line separator is shoddy. The brittle plastic wheels broke after the first year. Amazon has some more sturdy plastic separators that are great and it comes in pairs just in case and they're cheap.

i installed on 2/2020. Has held up very well these 5 years. I had full line of towels during heavy rain and line held. Very well made worth the cost. Highly recommend

It's funny the little things that make me so happy. This clothesline is one of them. The line is super long and sturdy. It holds three loads of laundry, while the spacer/separator keeps the laundry from dragging the ground. The pulleys are sturdy. Overall this was easy to light weight but sturdy and easy to install. This is not a retractable clothesline, but one that stretched between two different stable posts or trees. The tension is easy to adjust with the key that is provided. I chose to keep the line long (rather than cutting it to length), using the key to tighten the tension. This way I have the flexibility of changing locations without worrying about the line length. Since I received this clothesline, it has been used 6 out of 7 days of the week with no issues.

I don't take time to write many reviews, but I am for this thing. It's GREAT. We're out in the country and for years had the typical nylon clothesline - about 50' long - that sagged all the time and finally broke. Researched and bought this kit. Have only had it for a couple of weeks but it makes all the difference in the world. It's VERY easy to install, was able to easily do it by myself in less than 30 minutes. I did have to buy a clothesline bolt at the hardware store to go thru the metal pole we have on one end. (The kit comes with screw-type bolts to screw into trees or wood). While using the winch to connect the two ends isn't super simple, it's also not super hard. Have a pair of pliers handy to help really tighten all the way up. The little tensioner dolly you can place anywhere on the line to keep it from sagging is a great idea. Just love this and absolutely recommend it. Good quality.

The product is solid, but literally ZERO instructions or pics to guide you on how to install correctly were included. The QR code on the box that says “scan to watch install”— doesn’t work. It crashes and I was left scrambling on YouTube to install it right. These are the details that are important for us DIY’ers who are handy, but this is a bit ridiculous.

Muy bien

I replaced my old one. This line is terrific

This 150 foot steel cable is strong enough for heavy towels and bedding., with minimal sagging. I love that I can stand in one place and put all the laundry on by pushing the line up.

très pratique -super ! système très répandu aux USA et Canada juste qu'il faut prendre 1m de plus car la mise en tension puis fixation du câble n'est pas évidente surtout pour les grandes longueurs sur les grandes longueur le charriot à tendance à "dérailler" ( le cable sort de la poulie supérieure "porteuse") et ça coince ! j'ai donc bricolé avec un fil de cuivre un système autour du charriot pour que le cable ne puisse plus sortir de la poulie

Like: The wheels work well, as does the tension windup. Plenty of line. Dislike: the line spacer does not function well. It gets stuck on clothes and has to be removed.
