My clothesline is too short. I want to add extensions to the vertical pole assembly to raise the height. Can anyone make suggestions?

My suggestion is decide what kind of height you need and go to a metal working shop and let them make extension for your poles. Remember the extension need to slip into the existing vertical poles. You may even try PVC pipe, but you need to try and eliminate water getting inside the pipe.

Sorry, it was perfect for me, a short little runt (5'3"). Seems like elsewhere on the Internet or on Amazon others had commented about adding (splicing in) another length of pipe to bottom to raise the top section, but I'm not exactly sure how that was done. Need some mechanical engineer type person. The other possibility might be in building up the concrete on the outside and any internal PVC or steel pipe that the two pieces could fit on - but you'd need to reinforce from the outside. Instructions were like to sink 20" of the pole into the ground for stability (I forget the exact number, but it was a ways on down, to give it stability.). So if you made the concrete footing shallower relative to the ground level then you likely will need to have some sort of buttress on the outside, or extra bracing from the ends of the horizontal "T" pole down to the ground (and the appropriate safety "flags" or coloring or flower vines or something so that people don't hurt themselves tripping over the guy wires. Anyway, this is kinda off my head but sorry I don't have a really great solution other then just to research other places. The pole is just about right for me... the clothes line is starting to get a little droopy and catch on my top knot but I just need to tighten them to make it not tangle it up with my head. Otherwise it's working out just fine for me.

Perhaps drill a hole through the sheath and the post at the hight you want and insert a carriage bolt?

I did put some wood to provide support to extended , lower portion. Works great!

I put mine up on rail road ties. Served two purposes one made it taller and two rail road ties are heavy. I hammered re bar through them to make sure they didn't move. Another solution might be to get a few bags of quick Crete concrete from home depot and burry some metal anchors with it to attach the legs to. Hope this was helpful

Sorry, I never purchased an extension. I think all you need is a piece of pipe and a collar from your local hardware store.

Obviously you can't put an 8' pole in a room with a shorter ceiling. Start with the 7' setting and adjust the pole until it is fastened tightly in place. I have a 9' ceiling and just used the tallest setting.

This particular kit already has a 3 foot extension pole. The handle on the end of this does have a slightly round handle so it may be difficult to add an additional extender to it. However, I have found the 3 foot extension that it comes with is more than enough for my 9 foot ceilings. I hope this helps!

To the best of my knowledge an extension pole is not available. You may want to contact Husqvarna directly.

We adjusted the height on ours with a simple hacksaw. Worked fine and the ladder is very useful. There were directions on exactly how and where to cut it to shorten it.

Can you better define what you mean? You could always add a pole of some sort and tape it to extent the height. Make sure the base has enough weight on it though.

I used this product on a flat ceiling but , as with all the units I've installed, I do a simple , cheap add on that may work for you..... Use some PVC fittings ( I used a coupling and cap on the ceiling end of the pole. This may work for you with a liittle trial and error to figure out whether 1/2 " or3/4 " fittings would work best in your application. I used this product with success and happy with it..... I would buy again.

The mounting holes on the clothesline housing are too far apart to mount directly to a wooden post but a short plank (18" or so) could be attached to the post and the clothesline attached to the plank and it would work just fine. Hope this helps!

Try making one of your own. Home depot screw 2x4 together REALLY well by sandwiching a bunch together with the strong side up, you can add risers as you go. Primitive yes, a bit heavy, but if the need is there and you can handle it you can find someone to make if for you. Line the top with stick on abrasive stair tread tape. should cost all of $30. if a friend does it.

I just read Carolyn's answer. There were only two poles with the one I purchased. If mine had 3 it would have been better. You would have the option to use 2 or 3 to vary the height as she suggested.

The way that the vertical posts are built prohibit this. I bought shorter shelf systems. Keep looking you will find them.

I just looked at mine and it has screws that you can loosen for the 4 clamps, 2 on each pole, and that will let you raise or lower the net and that's all the height adjustment it has. I would suggest if you need more height then go to a home improvement store and get some PVC pipe the same diameter as the poles and cut them to the height you need or even a metal pipe you could paint for rust resistance and cut them to the height you need. But if you have the net tight length wise it shouldn't be touching the water. Hope any of this helps you.

Certainly , you may have to extend the length of the support chains that are supplied with the light. You may have to go to a lighting, hardware or big box store and get much longer suspension chains to offset the additional height of an angled or cathedral type ceiling.

I believe there is another model made by the same company that extends to 9-10feet. You should probably buy that model. Our pole just reached our ceiling at 8.5 feet. hope this is helpful.
