Product Information

Clothes Airer

Thank you for purchasing this Monster Shop Clothes Airer. The classic design of this Clothes Airer gives your home a perfect, Victorian vibe. Easy to install, it maximises space by draping clothes from above and saves electricity and money in the process. It’s a unique alternative to using radiators or a tumble-dryer, and works better than free-standing airers too! Made from cast iron and ethically sourced, varnished wood, this Monster Shop Clothes Airer finds the perfect balance between traditional, eye-catching design and efficient, long-lasting results. See how much you can save! You should be aware of the maximum weight load capacity of your clothes airer. This is approximately 30 KG. Under no circumstance should you exceed this weight.  We at Monster Group UK understand that it is a new and exciting purchase, and although it is tempting to get stuck in, please read the instructions before you commence assembly. Please refer to and read Safety Advice, Safe Working Practice to ensure prevention of injury or damage to the product before starting.

1. Locating Ceiling Joists

  • Find a wooden beam or joist within your ceiling by tapping the ceiling with the handle of a screwdriver. A hollow sound indicates no joist/beam, while a solid sound signals a beam or joist. Listen for a solid sound and mark with a pencil.

2. Marking Fixing Points

Measure from the first marked point to find the second fixing point using the guide below. Ensure to mark only where there is a beam or joist behind the ceiling. 

  • 0.9m Clothes Airer: 80cm apart
  • 1.2m Clothes Airer: 100cm apart
  • 1.4m Clothes Airer: 118cm apart
  • 1.5m Clothes Airer: 126cm apart
  • 1.8m Clothes Airer: 150cm apart
  • 2.0m Clothes Airer: 166cm apart
  • 2.4m Clothes Airer: 200cm apart

3. Drilling Pilot Holes

  • Use a 4mm drill bit to drill 2 x pilot holes into the ceiling at the marked fixing points.

4. Installing Pulleys

  • Screw the pulleys into the pre-drilled holes in the ceiling. Use washing-up liquid or oil on the thread to help fit the pulleys if necessary.

5. Positioning the Cleat Hook

  • Place the Cleat Hook to a nearby wall and mark with a pencil. 

Note: Attach the Cleat Hook to a wall closest to the Double Pulley, NOT the Single Pulley.

6. Attaching the Cleat Hook

  • Fit 2 x Rawlplugs and drill 2 x Screws into place to attach the Cleat Hook.

7. Threading the Rope

  • Thread the rope as shown in the Image.

8. Securing the Rope Ends

  • Thread the rope ends through the Cast Iron Rack End eyes and tighten firmly, as shown in the image. Cut the remains of the rope ends.

9. Adjusting the Rack Ends

  • Pull the loop so that the Rack Ends are raised towards the ceiling. In this position, tie a knot in the loop.

10. Setting the Loading Position

  • Let down the Rack Ends to a position in which you could load clothes. Tie another knot in the loop here.

11. Inserting the Laths

  • Place the laths through the Cast Iron Rack Ends. You can use the Cleat Hook to hold your desired position for the Airer.

12. Weight Limit & Usage Guidance

The Clothes Airer is built to withstand up to 30kg of clothes. Do not overload.

For best results, operate well below this weight threshold so that the airer can be safely and easily pulled toward the ceiling.

13. Maintenance

Generally speaking, your Clothes Airer should not face any problems after assembly. However, we recommend to check the following often;

  • Check that the pulleys are still firm into the ceiling and haven’t twisted or turned.
  • Check there is no fraying to the rope and all knots are tight.
  • Check the Cleat Hook is firm and flush against the wall and the screws are secure to the wall.

14. Resolution Guide

  • WHAT DO I DO IF THERE ARE MISSING PARTS FROM MY ORDER?

If there appears to be any part missing from your order, contact our friendly and helpful Customer Support Team within 7 days of receipt.

  • WHAT DO I DO IF THE PULLEYS/CLEAT HOOK ARE NOT FIXING INTO THE CEILING/WALL FIRM ENOUGH?

Ensure you have pre-drilled deep enough into the wall, and ensure that you have used the rawlplugs provided. If the problem persists, check that there is a wooden beam/joist where you are drilling. If there is no beam/joist, the rawlplug and screw will have no leverage to attach to. Detach and reposition if necessary.

  • WHAT DO I DO IF MY WOODEN LATHS DO NOT REACH ACROSS THE CAST IRON RACKS?

Did you use the guide, measure the distance and mark with a pencil first? If not, re-read the assembly instructions and follow the marking guide.
