A friend wants me to fit an airer in the stairwell of her flat, which is t he top floor of a massive Victorian house.
We talking about one of those airers that consist of two cast iron bits sha ped vaguely like coathangers, with slat of wood between, suspended on rope which runs in pulleys and moves up and down.
There's plenty of height for it as you can see from the attached photos, b ut there's not much ceiling to attach the pulleys to. I'm planning to put t wo big brackets on the wall high up, each of them with a length of timber a ttached, and attach the pulleys to those timbers, which will allow the aire r to be far enough from the wall.
I'd be grateful for any other ideas on how to go about this that might look a bit better
