Here's the pulley clothesline I just built on our new farm. The line tighteners (stays) are a great addition as the rope stretches over time, it's as easy as a simple pull to tighten the line.

Hey Dan, Any tips for this clothesline now that you've used it for 6 yrs? D the horizontal T bars have to be 4x4's? Did the uprights stay straight? Did you put concrete at the bottom? I ask because yours looks like one I want to build but I have very little experience. Thanks!

Not Dan, but I've built these type of clotheslines before. I imagine those ropes stretched a lot and looks like the only weak link in his whole set up. I'd replace them with a poly coated wire that you can find at most hardware stores. And yes, I'd set the poles in concrete.
