Description

A feature unique to this retractable washing line is the distinct red line. The red line makes it very easy to see, which is handy in the winter months. Ease of Use: I studied how well each product held the laundry and whether or not you had to be careful to space the washing out evenly so it would not bend under the weight. I looked at how well it held large items like sheets and heavy items like jeans or towels. I also looked at how easy it was to open and close the washing line when not in use. Finally, I considered how it would stand up to use in winds – if you had to be careful not to use it on a windy day, it got a lower rating.

The problem can easily be solved by using a clothes prop or by wrapping the line twice round the anchor point. Another method that requires a little bit of DIY is to install 1-2 galvanised cleat hooks just below the retractable unit. Heavier items such as duvet covers can be hung over both lines. If it wasn’t for this, the Minky would have received full marks. Available from: We’ve heard of individual lines stretching over time and because tension is applied across all 5 lines at once, you can end up with some lines longer than others. And, if you are fixing it to a cavity wall, make sure you use suitable hollow wall anchors; don’t just rely on the fixings supplied, as fully laden, the washing line carries a lot of weight. Available from: A relatively new concept and method for drying wet washing undercover, the retractable indoor clothesline now comes in a range of shapes and sizes. Of course, you can use an external retractable washing line internally, but typically these models are not great looking and provide a much longer line capacity than required. If you don’t have a lot of room, you need to consider how much space the extended line will take up, as well as the type of washing you want to hang out. Often a compromise can be made by hanging larger items, like sheets and towels, elsewhere – on an airer or over banisters.There’s one feature of a traditional rotary washing line that this one doesn’t have though. It’s the rotary part! Due to the compact construction, you can’t spin this washing line around, meaning you need access to all of it to hang your washing up. One of the benefits of the spinning washing line is being able to stand in one spot and hang everything in front of you. If you are careful with this line, it should last a long time. Don’t be tempted to overload it or you will ruin the line. Apart from that, it is a solid little retractable washing line, and we like it. In either case, you will need a load-bearing wall to hold the main part of the retractable washing line. If you are using a standard retractable washing line, you will also need another wall to which to attach the extending end and if the retractable washing line is intended to hold a lot of weight, it’s usually best if this is also a load-bearing wall. Ideally, you want to avoid having your retractable washing line cross a path.

If you want to dry your washing naturally in the fresh air, yet only have a small garden, this outdoor retractable washing line is ideal. The Minky provides a full 30 m of drying space on two lines, so it can be used to span a balcony or patio. And, because there are 2 lines, each line can span a different section of your garden to maximise drying space – ideal if you have a large family and do a lot of washing. TWIN LINES: The total length of the PVC wire across both lines is 30M. The twin retractable lines (15m each) have allowed for additional space for your drying needs. The dual clothesline is perfect for protecting the cleanliness of your washing because of its automatic retraction system. The automatic retraction system rewinds both lines with ease, helping the wires to remain clean and covered when not in use. Here is a list of features to consider. The best retractable wishing lines incorporate several of the below qualities. Weatherproof constructionBut it is not all about its looks. The duo reels on this model provide an impressive 4.2 meters (13.7 ft) of drying space each. Allowing you with a large capacity to easily wash a small to a medium load of washing at a time. This retractable washing line just wouldn’t convince us if left outdoors, but it is one of the few washing lines that works fantastically inside. Like the Minky, the washing line is kept taut by wrapping it around the anchor point on the base of the unit, but also like the Minky, when fully extended (over 12m), the line can slip causing the washing to sag in the middle.

Brabantia have included all the fixings you’d need for masonry. You get four sturdy bolts, quality Fischer wall plugs, washers and wall spacers. And if you don’t have your own set of spanners, they’ve even thrown in a basic tool that you can use to drive home the bolts! Provided you own a screwdriver, that is.These retractable lines save space, by folding up against the wall when not in use, and are simple to pull out and use when required. Aside from providing plenty of drying space, this retractable line is also very durable and can hold up a whole load of laundry. That means you don’t have to worry about the line collapsing and snapping. If you are a one or two-person household, look for a wall mounted line with a weight capacity of at least 8 kg . This equates to roughly one load of washing. To hold more than one load, or heavier items like towels, look for a weight capacity closer to 20 kg .

Given that this is such a compact line, with quite a large weight capacity, it does still offer good value for money, you just need to take care of it so that it will last. Nevertheless, it’s still inexpensive when compared to the premium Brabantia line. Airers that retract, collapse, or fold up will naturally save space. Anything that doesn’t fold up may get in the way when not in use, especially if installed in a narrower alley alongside the house. If you don’t want to take up room outside with a large washing line, but want a solution that is easier than using a collapsible airer, a wall mounted washing line can provide a simple solution.Whenever drilling through walls, you must also make sure that you’re not in danger of drilling through any pipes, electrics, or important infrastructure as well. EASY INSTALLATION: DRYZEM’S retractable washing line can be assembled with ease and in no time by our simple design structure. Requiring only a screwdriver to fit, our clothes line is easy to put together. With strong, stable UV adjustable housing, the washing line unit can move freely with 180 degree movement, and fasten neatly on any desired wall. Most wall mounted washing lines are made from aluminium, these tend to have a weight capacity up to 10 kg. Whilst these undoubtedly work well, I’ve found that the best wall mounted washing lines are constructed from steel . This is a lot stronger than aluminium and can hold more weight. However, steel frames must be covered as they are more prone to rust Fitted with 26 metres of line, the Denny International is big enough to hold a full load of washing. However, as is often the case with these more budget-friendly options, it’s unlikely to be able to support the weight of a lot of heavy items, like wet towels. The maximum weight capacity is approximately 7 kg, and you should be careful to spread the weight evenly across the whole line. Value for Money: To determine the value for the money spent, I looked at how much the unit cost compared to how well it was made and how well it balanced size, quality, and price. I also factored in what size family or household it would suit. Even though budget models did not hold as much laundry, I considered the value for the price since some people need a budget line.
