http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hills_Hoist
All the info you need is contained in the wikipedia link , we bought it because after 3 flimsy washing lines had come crashing to the ground on our gusty mountain, and NO we haven’t got 2 trees to string a line between unfortunately !
Dave unpacking the hoist.
Dave deciding to return the hoist to its native Australia
(no he’s digging the 750mm deep hole really!)
how to hold it upright, use a pyramid !
a good dept of concrete is needed to secure the base (note the old way in the background !)
All level
Concrete going in…….hope its upright Dave?
24 hours later….all set.
I feel like I'm at Glastonbury for some reason ?
Top going on….point of no return, once on its locked !
Just checking the stringing….
and the up and down bits !
does that look straight ? oh well too late now !
looks straight this side..
all I needed was something to hang the bikini on !
All finished !
Not quite, a few days later, and Dave has built a level area around the hoist and steps up to it…..perfect.
Welcome to our world !
