Picture your laundry swaying between three graceful wooden arms, almost like sails catching the breeze.
This tripod structure feels less like a utility and more like a piece of outdoor sculpture, simple, natural, and perfectly suited for a flower-filled garden path.
Materials Needed
- 3 long wooden poles (6-8 ft each, sturdy timber)
- Strong clothesline rope, 20-30 ft
- Heavy-duty screws or rope
- Drill and bit (if using screws)
- Optional: wood stain or sealer
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Gather your three poles and align them in a tripod shape. You can tie or screw them securely together at the top, leaving space for the rope to run through.
Step 2: Spread the legs of the tripod evenly so that it stands firmly on the ground.
Step 3: Run clothesline rope between each pole, looping it tightly to create multiple drying lines.
Step 4: Anchor the base legs slightly into the soil for stability if your area gets breezy.
Step 5: Finally, hang your laundry and enjoy a design that looks as good as it works.
Tips:
I recommend using natural timber to blend with your landscaping, or sand and stain the wood for a polished, modern look.
