Attaching Washing Line To Concrete Post

[cougie uk]

Just tie the line around it?

Do it out and back and you now have two washing lines !

You could try using some grab adhesive and gluing a bit of wood to the post, you could then put a hook into that. If the wood is of a decent size (2"x4" for example) then it should easily hold the weight, just remember to be generous with the adhesive, and for the love of god don't get any on clothes.

I bought an actual pole. Dug a hole. Poured postcrete in it and have something that is fit for purpose.

You'd struggle to be able to hang many clothes on that though...

jubilee clip

Good to see that the 'correct / traditional' term hasn't completely died out. They tend to be called hose clips now.
Rather like Terry clips tend to be called spring clips.

Push the line through the eyelet at the end and it becomes a noose, which you can then just pop over the post.

Jubilee is (or maybe was, I dunno these days) a brand. Inferior copies from other manufacturers are indeed hose clips, if only to avoid any kind of copyright infringement. Jubilee clip as a name has become like Hoover.

Edit - Jubilee are still going strong.

One hint for Jubilee clips is to buy a set of flexible shaft nut drivers (ie with a hex socket and a screwdriver type handle), as they make it a lot easier to tighten the clamp without sticking a screwdriver into your hand in the process. My set of three, I think from Sykes-P were maybe £20 and used twice a year since I've got them makes a worthwhile investment. Each time you avoid sticking a screwdriver in your hand has to be worth a fiver!

I think the object was to avoid the line being held up solely by friction, with the risk that it would slip down the pole over time.

I’d go with @Drago suggestion, a couple of heavy duty cable ties will hold that, they don’t rust and job done in seconds.

Bloody washing line snapped lol!

Sun must have degraded the line over time, the old one is a white colour compared to the blue when new. This is my bodging way of connecting, use two eye loops, tie off each end and I've wrapped in some tape to neaten it off. Bodge done lol
