5 Things to Look For in a Clothesline

 

There are many things to consider when choosing your new clothesline. If you live in a house, an apartment, or a dormitory, it's important to find the right line size for your space. From city side apartments to land abundant county farms, we understand that different living arrangements mean different laundry requirements. How long do you want your line to be? Would cable installation be possible? If not, then you might have trouble installing a line - let alone do it yourself. A little consideration into your air drying solutions goes a long way. We've made our best recommendations for the most common types of situations below so that no matter where you live or what type of laundry space you have, you can find some great options for your home. Fortunately, we have a great range of portable air drying solutions. For outdoor spaces, there are 3 styles to consider; Rotary, Retracting, and Folding.

Consider these Five Things When Choosing a Clothesline

Drying Space

Let’s take a moment to think about how much laundry will be hung on your clothesline. If you’re living by yourself, you will only need a clothesline on the smaller side. A classic addition to your laundry shed, the Hills' range of Mini Folding Clotheslines are good for indoor or outdoor use. Airing your clothes indoors is a great option if you have no access to outside space or as an alternative during days when the weather isn’t so good.

There’s also a great range of indoor clothes airers to choose from like our Hills Premium Winged Airer. If you’re looking for something that can handle a little more weight that can withstand the sun, our portable clothesline can be moved inside and out. For growing families and laundry piles, consider leaning towards the Hills Rotary Clothesline. With a wider space and double lines, it gives you more room to hang clothes and dry them perfectly.

 

 

Dimensions

You don’t need a huge backyard to dry your clothes, just a bit of sunshine and good positioning. If you have a compact space, our 4-Line Retracting Clothesline is a great option as it allows you to fit multiple clothes or sheets with its sizeable amount of drying space. Flexibility is this line’s middle name: it can run wall-to-wall, wall-to-post or any combination of the two. You can make the most of narrow spaces with a Hills Compact Clothesline fixed to your wall, or post kit as a freestanding option. 

Durability

Another key thing to consider is the reliability of your clothesline. Since you've invested in good quality outdoor equipment, don't let your clothesline leave you high and dry. Making sure your clothesline is going to last is important, which is why – Hills clotheslines are built for the long-haul.

If you’ve got the space, play it classic with the original Hills Hoist which is built to last with thick galvanised steel, cast aluminum components and has traditional galvanised steel clothes wire. The icing on the cake is the lifetime warranty it comes with. Built to last and with quality that can withstand the elements, the Hills Hoist has been a staple of the Australian backyard for over 50 years. 

Accessibility

Hanging out the laundry is a time where you can disconnect and relax for a moment, which is why it needs to be easy! Hills clotheslines have been designed with your needs in mind, featuring large capacity and easy to use gliding folding frames, ergonomic rotary handles and built-in containers – all helping to make your laundry day a little easier. They are perfect for every family's washing needs and you can relax without putting too much strain on your body.

Aesthetic

Hills have been producing retractable clotheslines for 75 years and have been designing stylish clotheslines that feature the latest innovations for premium performance. We pride ourselves in creating high-quality products that last. There's no reason to compromise style for functionality.
