So easy
My old Brabantia four arm line became very dirty and I really stopped using it a few years ago. Decided that using the tumble drier, even in the hottest weather was just plain stupid. Thought I’d just buy a completely new one but they aren’t cheap so replacing the line was the only option if it could be done. I took some time but then plumped for the Brabantia rather than a cheaper one. Read the reviews and bought it with mixed feelings. The replacement line arrived and just sat there for a couple of days but eventually I took the bull by the horns and set about doing the job. My old line, all the sections were individually slung but the instructions for the replacement were that only the outermost line would be replaced in a similar way, all the other strands were one long piece of line per row. The most difficult thing was getting the line to stay in the half open position. I eventually used a garden chair pushed right up to the point then lowered the line until it rested on the chair. I followed the instructions, my old line was the B type. I removed a section, measured it against the new line, doubled it over, four times, added a few inches and then cut. I then followed the instructions on re stringing the line. I had no problem whatsoever getting the replacement line through the holes in either the fixings or the structure, although mine always ended up pointing down instead of up, as per the diagram but it didn’t matter. It took a little time to get the tension right and I wish I’d done that row by row but as I only use the innermost sections for small items, they don’t really matter. Once completed, there is still quite a lot of replacement line left. So if you make a mistake and cut too short don’t worry, there is plenty to go at. I did this on my own, I’m average height and am in my late sixties. Although it wasn’t difficult really, it’s a bit fiddly, especially the tension. So I don’t have to do it again, I bought a Brabantia line cover, which I’m so glad I did. As since replacing the line I’ve only been able to use it twice!
