Is this pulley usable for an outdoor clothesline? And what size rope will fit this pulley? I need two, I believe, to work as a clothesline.

I don't see why not. I've got a Heavy Duty Winch Cable going through mine and works fine with room to spare. I would think standard clothesline rope would leave you with room to spare as well.

Absolutely a wonderful purchase....my line went from one pole to a tree and then we had to cut the tree down....I won't give up my clothesline so I purchased this one....very sturdy and it will probably outlive me. Hope to get another one for the other side of the yard. Hope this helps in your decision.....glad I am not the only one who hangs clothes outside! A lost art, for sure......

3/8, 7/16, or 1/2 inch nylon rope would work fine. Becareful not to exceed the tensile strength of whatever rope you use. Cheers.

I actually used a 1/8'' piece of cable with mine. However you should be able to use a 1/2" piece of rope. I am not sure but 3/8 would either be the max on size or perhaps to large. Hope this helps.

I think it is just a single pulley and if you want two you need to order 2. Been a while since I ordered it. Worth the price IMO. Well made

This request is not clear. There is no question posed, so no way to respond. I purchased this pulley for my drill press. The price was right, and I was very satisfied with my purchase. If you have a specific question, CJL, I would be glad to help. As noted earlier, it is working fine, and doing everything that I hoped for.

I have mine extended to about 25' It all depends on how much "extra line" there is, but I would say it could go another 25' however if you get too many clothes it will sag! I use mine in my basement (normal clothes line outside for summer) and if the end you pull out is against the sheet rock, you need to watch how you balance the clothes on the 5 lines or it will tip and gouge the sheet rock. I like mine! There are ways to tighten each line and if they break because of age, you can buy more to insert. Hope this helps!

2" apart? I don't understand. Remind me what my comment was. I have essentially a 240' long 3/32" cable on 2 10' steel poles with lots of concrete and guy wires with concrete plus turnbuckles running away from the wire. It works, and the hand winch does a great job. I surrounded mine in bubble wrap last month to keep it out of the winter weather. (If you are doing a dog run, I have a much simpler solution given to me that makes me feel almsot stupid, despite the fact that my dog run works great. That solution is to take the 240' wire and lay it out on the ground with either heavy-duty augers or concrete and eye bolts, etc. I have limited trees, etc., and that would have worked as well as my solution for a lot less cost and trouble. G'luck with whatever you are doinbg. Gene

You bet. A great rope! I would recommend using only figure 8's since some of the mechanical belay or rappel devises are made for larger diameter ropes.

The rope is nylon and about as big as a pencil lead. What gauge that is, I don't know. I like it. If I need more I am buying this stuff. It works great for my outdoor chicken area.

The pulley system has fairly tight tolerances. It's hard to say for sure but my best guess is it won't accept a larger diameter rope. The rope that came with this worked great and held a large deer off the ground if that helps.

I went with a synthetic rope from Warn when I got the same fairlead for plowing. Less wear on the fairlead, stronger than the cable for winching aspects and no worries about cable snap or slicing youself open. only thing to watch is if your winching over sharp rocks or such, you can cut the rope. They do make nylon sleeves for this application though.Don't bother with the locking nut on the spool either, just shove it through and tie it off. Too easy

I hang mine from a tree limb sometimes and sometimes hang it from my clothesline. You can string a rope between two trees or post and hang it that way too. Maybe set it on top of a garbage can.

I agree with the previous answer. It's a little difficult to measure but definitely more than 1/8". It is the same diameter as all of the other clothesline I have. I got it to replace two of the lines in my basement. It is about the same as the other two that were there. The clothes stay fine with two different types of clothespins, but it isn't so thick that it is difficult to use the clothespins.

I bought it because it floats. As to how much it can pull, I would say it depends on the diameter of the rope.

If you have 5 separate lines I would ASSUME you would need 5. We only had one line with a wheel at both ends. So this device ties the two ends together. So if you have more then two ends (one piece of rope) you would need more.

Yes. One per line. Unless you string the line so one length of rope covers two of the five lines. I would recommend using five separate lengths of rope and using five of these. On a side note, I live in Wisconsin and we had a pretty tough winter. I did notice a little rust on mine, but it doesn't appear to have affected their operation. It just need a little wiggling to get it moving again.
