Wall mount or ground mount
Wall mounting onto solid brick is the fastest and cheapest option and suits most homes. The frame folds flat against the wall when you are not using it.
Ground mounting on two posts set in concrete is the answer when there is no suitable wall, or when the wall is cladding without solid backing behind it. It costs more because of the footings and the concrete cure.
Choosing the spot
Pick the sunniest wall with some air movement, usually north facing. Then check the swing clearance so the arms open fully without hitting a fence, downpipe or garden bed.
We test the fixings and the fold action before we leave, so you are not finding a loose bracket with a full load of wet washing on it.
Ground varies widely here, from basalt and rock through the older suburbs to sandy coastal soils on the Bellarine and Surf Coast. Rock slows post holes down, sand needs wider footings to hold.
City of Greater Geelong and Surf Coast Shire generally allow boundary fences up to 2.0 metres, with tighter controls on street frontages and in coastal and township character areas.
Salt air along the coast is brutal on untreated steel. Genuine Colorbond and quality powder-coated aluminium hold up well, cheap hardware does not, which is why we specify stainless or galvanised fittings near the water.
A mix of established brick homes, coastal builds and fast growing estates like Armstrong Creek. Colorbond is the workhorse, with aluminium slat popular on newer coastal frontages.
Can you fit it on a brick wall? Yes, we use the correct masonry anchors for brick and rendered walls.
