Every effort has been made to ensure that the advice and instructions given on this website are accurate and will enable you to do the job safely and successfully. However they are only guidelines and we recommend you seek expert advice in the event of difficulty.

Rise & Fall Hanging Basket

Hanging baskets bring a splash of colour to porches and patios. Sometimes watering them and removing dead flowers is awkward because they are hung too high. What you need is a basket you can raise and lower at will.

What You Will Need
One galvanized line pulley
One galvanized 4 inch cleat hook
One galvanized 2 inch S-hook
One length of rope – ideally a 6mm diameter, man-made fibre, braided for extra strength.
Hook type wall bracket and hanging basket

 

What to Do
A. Decide where to hang the basket and put up the
wall bracket.
B. Screw the cleat hook to the wall or post supporting
the bracket.
C. Measure and cut the rope length you need.
D. Suspend the pulley from the wall bracket.
E. Tie the rope to an S-hook (alternatively use a commercial thimble or rope clamp) and attach it to the basket.
F. Feed the rope over the pulley and haul up the basket.
G. Fasten the rope to the cleat hook.
