Oh, make sure you patent it! Good luck and have fun with it! Be sure to put your personal touch on it!
I have used clotheslines for 80 years and recently went to the store for a new one. All my life a clothesline has been metal wire, the later ones having a vinyl coating.
I was shocked when the clerk brought out cotton and plastic string that was labeled "clothesline. So I went to the hardware stor and asked for plastic coated guy wire. I guess during the electric dryer era most folks forgot what real clothesline is. Now that its making a comeback the younger generation thinks it's string, which is cheaper to make.
Nothing like old-style steel not aluminum clothesline that stays taught, supports more weight, and doesn't degrade in the sun's UV.
I'm in the same boat. I only hang stuff on the line in sunny season, mostly to avoid shrinkage, but also to save money, AND the fresh air aspect.
DH strung up a braided nylon i think? Thank heaven for the Innerwebs; it's here somewhere. I've got all the basics for my close line. I've got three children and me and my fiance and I wash loads a day everyday except Sunday when I try to only do 1 Anyways my question is regarding positioning.
Is there a certain way that will allow the best drying. Which as should it be east to west and as far as soon should I look for a place with all day Sunday or evening or morning? Perhaps consider which way the wind is coming from. Then you get the wind full-on. We have had clotheslines in our backyards for some decades now.
We are both old enough that we remember when our moms had washing machines only, no dryers, and every house came with two of those metal "T" poles in the backyard for your clotheslines. We remember mom yelling at us to not play in and out of the clean hanging clothes. On beautiful days, we hang all our laundry loads. Taking each dry piece down and folding them, then putting them into the basket, all in the beautiful outdoors. Everyone should have a clothesline and hang laundry to dry.
I left home at in the morning and come at much of the time got wasted in the travelling. You explain everything but what about rain. I have put my clothes outside for drying at the balcony. When I reach home it was almost wet due to constant heavy rain throughout the day. Since I did not have inform to wear for the work in the morning next day.
I have to take day off from the work. You explain everything but what about my problem. If you solution then please respond. Thanks for knowledge. No one can control the weather. Is this a joke? If it's supposed to rain, then don't put your clothes out. And, duh, it could rain unexpectedly as that's life. It's probably not smart to rely on weather if you need the clothes the very next morning. Simply tie the ends into a knot and secure the line rope.

Finding the washing line rope that will serve you right is hard these days. Especially if you are accustomed to a dryer and have no idea what to look for in a rope. To help you with the decision, we have gathered a list of a few features you need to know.
Here are a few things you should have in mind before purchasing a washing line rope. The material of the products is one of the crucial features that determine its longevity. Usually, there are three types of materials for washing lines. An extremely thick rope is durable, but did you ever wonder about the pegs?
Will they stick to that kind of rope? We would recommend that you opt for a 5 mm thickness , most of the standard size pegs will hold on, and you will end up with a product that you love. As you saw, all of the ropes have different lengths.
With an incredible 50 meters of rope, you can rest sure knowing that it will be sufficient for all of your laundry load. A long rope can be simply adjusted ; that is why most of the people opt for more extended versions. This feature is one of the favourites when it comes to choosing a rope. Capacity again depends on the various factors. It depends on all the previously mentioned features. Therefore , if you wonder how much weight your washing line can handle, take into consideration the length, thickness and material of the rope.
The first step for keeping the clothes line from sagging is finding a durable and sturdy washing line. Next, you need to install it properly and tighten the line or use a pole for the clothesline. As we promised, we are going to talk about the materials.
However, for now, let's just say that the best materials for clothesline are plastic , cotton or polypropylene. The best rope for a clothesline is the LaundrySpecialist washing rope. If you want an extra-sturdy, heavy-duty washing line rope that will keep your laundry in place even during rough weather, then this is the best choice.
