Garden rotary washing lines - advice and recommendations ...

[tllm2]

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.
