Whats the best method for securing a fold down clothes line on a wire cut brick wall.
I tried spacing it so I can hit the meat of the bricks but it cant be done. No mater what I will hit the brick holes.
Any ideas??

I assume you are concerned with using Dyna bolts and not having them holding in the voids in the bricks.
The bricks in our house have many small holes through them, I now only use Excalibur bolts to attach to the brickwork and have no problem with them.
These are the bolts with a course thread that screw into the brick. Bunnings stock them

Either fix a batten to the wall first and then fix the clothesline to that, or get the ground installation kit and give the wall a miss altogether.

I heard the excalibur bolts might come loose in time especially when the wind hits the clothes.

I have a number of attachments to the brick wall some of them have been there for 5 years plus. Once the Excalabur bolts are tight I have never had problems with them working loose.
And yes my fold-up clothesline is attached to the brick wall with Excalabur bolts.
