Question 1

How do you tie off the ends

Accepted Answer

I used webbing and a carabiner around a tree and the same on a porch post. You could use rope as well. Or maybe you are referring to the cable ends?If so, a twisting tension hardware is provided in the kit. Consider being specific with your questions. Really, I'm only guessing at what you are asking about.

Question 2

Nees more description to compare say, to Lehman's.  Plastic? steel? aluminum? what are the parts?  etc.

Accepted Answer

I don't own the Strata, but I do own the Lehman's. I bought it a decade ago. When one pulley broke some years afterward, I bought a larger (8") pulley from Lehman's, and it was made in China, despite its being advertised as made in Canada (I assume this was in a brief window when Lehman's was switching suppliers). When the remaining Lehman pulley broke this month, I wanted another 8" pulley (which I strongly recommend: the bigger pulley makes a huge difference in how easily the clothesline glides). I looked at Lehman's for a replacement, but I found one that was a little cheaper (factoring in the mailing charge) at a store called The Clothesline Shop (clotheslineshop.com). It's a tiny family-run business in Maine, but what arrived (and arrived quickly) was an industrial-strength zinc pulley made in Canada, and it makes Lehman's version look rinky-dink in comparison. The Clothesline Shop has the whole setup, too (pulleys, line, winch, etc.). I'd compare that shop's product with Lehman's if I were you. Believe me, it's no fun at all to pick your freshly washed laundry off the ground because a pulley broke.

Question 3

Where is this manufactured ?

Accepted Answer

It is made in China
Canadian company sells it
Clearly states on the box it is made in China

Question 4

Is this something that can be taken down when not doing laundry and put back up easily? or is it more work than you would want to do every time?

Accepted Answer

If you wanted to take it down there would be even more time involved than installing it in the first place. You would have to slacken the winch, which is no mean feat and a bit dangerous....unhook each end from the hooks, wrap it all up, store away, then  reverse this processs every time.....it's the kind of thing you would only want to do for some very special reason. Having said all that, I love my clothesline !
