This video is now out of date and we are making a new video for the updated partially assembled models. If you have a newer model, then the distance apart from bracket to bracket is 2400mm center to center, not 2360mm as mentioned unless you have an older model. This video features the older non partially assembled models but still is a good guide for you to get a good idea on how to install yourself. Its also good for those of you who have an older model or for those of you who disasembled your clothesline and need to know how it all goes back together.
