Our clothesline was set up about 28-29 years ago by two teenage boys (Lief and Tony). They used two treated 4 X 4 posts set about 18" deep in the lawn, surrounded by concrete they mixed in a wheelbarrow. The clothesline stayed out there 24X7 for all those years and the only maintenance we did was replace the line once. Then the other day I noticed one post was leaning more than usual and I gave it a test shove. It snapped off at ground level taking all of the hanging clothes down with it. So now I'm drilling out what's left of the posts and I'm going to drop in some new ones.
