Summary

Inspired by a great hanging dryer, but put off by high cost and long distance shipping, I decided to make
my own, low-budget version. There are components that could be higher quality, and prices are indicative
only - it depends what your local suppliers have available for you. I got most of the components from
Bunnings and Pete’s Emporium in Porirua (NZ).
I also decided to do something Low Tech instead of designing with digital fabrication in mind. Some simple tools and you're away with this project.
Take as much time as you want to. I made this over two weekends, not rushing, and in between other activities. But I don’t have to tidy up if I don’t feel like it...
Fineprint:
All measurements are in millimetres unless otherwise stated. All attempts have been made to keep

Hang the pulleys from the screw hooks in the ceiling.

It might be quite handy to have someone else helping you with this next bit:
Pretend that I’ve drawn an awesome picture and then look at the photo above.
Don’t get distracted by bizzarre scale, colour or other detail - it’s the rope that is important here.
It’s green with yellow arrows on it.
If you follow the arrows on the drawing, you can see that the long end of your rope needs to be threaded through both pulleys and then back through the double one.
Then you can thread that end through your other two eye hooks on your ladder/frame and tie the 2nd triangle.
Make sense? If not, maybe you could talk about it with that handy someone else.
