How to Install a Clothesline Into Brick

* Galvanized steel eye bolts (2)

* Wall plugs

* Masonary screwdriver or a drill and masonry drill bit

* Threading tape

* 2 carabiner clips

* Clothesline or vinyl-coated steel cable

* Utility Knife

Step 2: Mark the Location for the Eye Bolts

* Decide on the length and height you want your clothesline to be.

* Mark the location of the eye bolts on the brick wall using a pencil.

* Make sure the marks are at least 6 feet apart and at least 18 inches from any edges or corners.

Step 3: Drill Holes for the Eye Bolts

* Using a masonry drill bit and a drill to create the holes (the drill may be easier to use for brick, while the screwdriver is recommended for concrete or harder masonry).

* If you are using the screwdriver, insert it into the holes as you rotate it to create the holes.

* If you are using the drill, remember to wear eye protection and use the proper speed and pressure to avoid damaging the wall.

* The holes should be just deep enough to allow the wall plugs to be inserted flush with the surface of the wall.

Step 4: Insert the Wall Plugs

* Insert the wall plugs into the holes and tap them in with a hammer until they are flush with the surface of the wall.

Step 5: Attach the Eye Bolts

* Thread the eye bolts through the wall plugs and hand-tighten them until they are snug.

* Use a wrench or pliers to tighten the bolts further until they are secure.

Step6: Thread Threading Tape

* Wrap a few layers of threading tape around the threading of the eye bolts to create a watertight seal.

Step 7: Attach Carabiner Clips

* Attach the carabiner clips to the eye bolts.

* These will be used to attach the clothesline.

Step 8: Attach the Clothesline

*Cut a piece of clothesline or vinyl-coated steel cable to the desired length.

* Attach one end of the line to the carabiner clip on one eye bolt.

* Run the line to the other eye bolt and attach it to the carabiner clip.

* Tighten the line until it is taunt.

Step 9: Trim Excess Clothesline

* Use a utility knife to trim any excess clothesline.

Your clothesline is now ready to use!
