    Default Securing Clothes Line on Wire Cut Bricks????

    Whats the best method for securing a fold down clothes line on a wire cut brick wall.
    I tried spacing it so I can hit the meat of the bricks but it cant be done. No mater what I will hit the brick holes.
    Any ideas??

    I assume you are concerned with using Dyna bolts and not having them holding in the voids in the bricks.
    The bricks in our house have many small holes through them, I now only use Excalibur bolts to attach to the brickwork and have no problem with them.
    These are the bolts with a course thread that screw into the brick. Bunnings stock them

    Either fix a batten to the wall first and then fix the clothesline to that, or get the ground installation kit and give the wall a miss altogether.

    I heard the excalibur bolts might come loose in time especially when the wind hits the clothes.

    I have a number of attachments to the brick wall some of them have been there for 5 years plus. Once the Excalabur bolts are tight I have never had problems with them working loose.

    And yes my fold-up clothesline is attached to the brick wall with Excalabur bolts.
