Anyone have any words of advice or wisdom on rotary washing lines.


Want one that can be taken down/removed easily, but from past experience the ones that you just spike in the grass, don't seem to stay upright for long.


Can anyone recommend a particular rotary which might fit the bill, perhaps that one that includes something to secure it at the base with.

We have had a brabantia one for years, it's been taken down and put up again many times and does the job perfectly. Though in Scotland we call them whirligigs :)


You do have to really hammer the holder/housing into the ground though. But when the drier isn't in use you don't know the holder is there, there's a little cap for it and you can't see it in the grass.


I'm a bit sad and for some reason drying clothes in the open air makes me really happy!

I've got one of the Brabantia Wallfix lines which are a great option if you've got a suitable wall to attach it to as they just fold away against the wall. They don't spin round in the wind but otherwise are the same as the rotary ones. As Belle said, if you're going for one in the lawn they work best if you get one of the metal holders you fix into the grass that you can then just slot the drier into.

    • In the past such details have always been described as commercially sensitive, which they possibly are. So we've never really known what the deals actually were. And whether they represented value for money for the council, and hence us. 
    • Apologies if this has been asked before. But has the council posted any black and white facts about what income gala brings in and therefore what it funds in the long term?    appreciate it causes a commotion for a few weeks but if it brings in enough revenue to fund the park being a nice place for the rest of the year it feels worth it.   
    • This is a fair point Glemham, although I don't think it is as straightforward as it looks. In essence, the Scheme of Estate Managment 'tithe' goes into maintaining the area, and the costs associated with that, such as planning consents and the like, and as you rightly point out, is ostensibly ring fenced.  However, it seems likely to me that the results of the 'tithe' would impact on the level of commercial rents the Dulwich Estate are able to command, and how much they get when they sell off a piece of land - it is after all a prime area. The 'tithe' is in my view ultimately, even if indirectly, a contributor to the Estate's ability to generate a surplus.  Of that surplus, 85% is directed at the private schools, which seems at odds to me with the spirit of simple instruction of the original Edward Alleyn will to 'educate 12 poor scholars' He didn't suggest they should go to Eton on bursaries. I think the Estate need to be doing far more for local state schools, who are all struggling with estraordinarily tight budgets. I also feel on a personal level uneasy in potentially contributing in any way to an institution such as Dulwich College where the question can be asked - are they struggling to manage successive generational waves of toxicity? The evidence that the Guardian has amassed from the Farage period looks pretty damming to me, and I find the more recent allegations deeply unsettling, although clearly they have been subject to less scrutiny.
    • Thanks Joe. Sorry to the poster of that thread if it was my comment. It was just that none of it made sense to me.
