Frequently Asked Questions
Does this model fold flat?
Yes. The simple lift-and-lock mechanism allows the frame to fold down flat against the wall or ground mount kit when not in use.
Can it be installed on posts?
Yes. While masonry fasteners are included for wall mounting, optional ground mount kits are available for freestanding installations.
Can I reduce the width?
Yes. The front bar is designed to be cut down during assembly to fit narrower spaces if your application requires it.
What colours are available?
The Austral Standard is available in 5 popular shades: Monument, Woodland Grey, Classic Cream, Dune, and Surfmist.
Can I only install the clothesline on a wall?
No, fold-down clotheslines are one of the most flexible options when it comes to installation. They can be mounted to a wall, installed in soil or grass with a ground mount kit, or fixed to concrete using a base plate kit. Both Austral mounting kits can be purchased on this page.
