What you should keep in mind when buying a clothesline

You have already noticed when reading this list that there are several factors that I have taken into account when choosing this Top 7.

These same factors must be taken into account when making your purchase. The price is not the only thing that is considered, but undoubtedly the elements of this list are pocket friendly.

    The first and main thing to consider is the space we have available for the clothesline . This is why you have to see the different types of clothesline , whether standing, roof or tower type, as that will determine the space they will occupy. Most clotheslines are quite compact and adjustable , even if they have good drying space.
    The drying surface is also essential. You should consider the amount of clothes for which you will be using this clothesline and choose the drying surface according to that. The more surface, the more garments you can accommodate. On the other hand, when choosing an electric clothesline you have to consider the electricity consumption since we do not want our bills to cost us an eye for a face.
    Since clotheslines are in constant contact with humidity, it is important to choose good and durable materials like the ones we have seen in this list.
    Another thing to consider is the weight ; If the clothesline is very heavy it will be difficult to remove it and store it comfortably.
    Some extra features to consider are the additional wings so you can hang clothes on hangers, the wheels to transport and store more easily and accessories such as covers and tote bags.

    The Only One Portable Travel Flexible Clothesline Adjustable Clothesline and 12-Person Clothesline, Windproof Clothesline for Outdoor and Indoor use, 2 Meters Long, Purple

    How to choose a clothesline

    Tending clothes in a line to dry is not only energy saving, it gives a smell of clean natural clothes. And, if the sun is shining, you will get additional benefits with whiter whites. In addition to saving energy, since you are not using a clothes dryer generated by power, using a clothesline saves you money. The US Department of Energy reports that it costs around $ 80 a year to operate a dryer so a cheap clothesline will pay for itself.

    Instructions

    1 The pole-to-pole clothesline is robust and popular. Wire, thin braided rope or vinyl cord are suspended between two poles. The posts can be in the form of a cross for multiple lines can be joined. It is always ready to use. However, they are always exposed to the elements means that the line gets dirty and needs to be cleaned before use. Because it is a permanent obstacle, it is not the best option for small gardens.

    2 The retractable line can be installed on an exterior wall of your house or another building. The cable is pulled to hook on the other side of an L-shaped house, another nearby building, or a pole. Because the line is retracted when not in use, very little space is needed and the clothes rack remains clean. A retractable line is not as study as other clotheslines and can yield under the weight of a large load of wet clothes.

    3 An umbrella clothes dryer inserts on a base that is cemented on the ground. This type of line can be removed and folded like an upside down umbrella for storage inside. One of the models of clothes dryer umbrella spins with breeze to help dry clothes faster. Umbrella clothes dryers are sturdy and work well in tight spaces. Because they are compact, hanging large items, such as leaves, is a challenge.

    Tips and warnings

    •     True Story: The clothes line in my house was not installed until we were here a year. After three months of using the rope to hang clothes to draw instead of using the gas dryer, the gas company sent someone to my house to check the meter. the use of gas was so low, that he thought there was something wrong with the meter! The definitive proof that the price of installing a drying rack is balanced out by the savings in gas (or electric) to run a dryer.
    •     If possible, wash days plan all the time so you can hang clothes on non-rainy days.
    •     If your line of umbrella clothes starts to drag when you are opening it up, you can lubricate the post with furniture wax from an aerosol can (for example, Oath). It does not take much; Simply srapy a small amount on the pole and then rub around the pole with your hand or with a cloth.
    •     There are some disadvantages to hanging out clothes. For those who suffer from pollen, pollen that floats in the air can adhere to clothing, further aggravating the symptoms.




    How to install a Clothesline

    Drying your clothes outdoors on a clothesline saves energy and helps cut the household budget. You can choose from a variety of styles of clotheslines, such as pulley-drawn and umbrella-style. The most popular clothes line is still the traditional T-mail made of metal or wood, and buried in the rocks and cement. You will want room for your poles to hang clothes so the clothes on the line can catch wind and sunlight. After the poles are in rope to lay the screw or corveted holes in the crossbars of the pole through which the string of the clothesline.

    Instructions

    1 Dig a hole at least 24 inches deep and twice as wide as your clothes line. Excavate the soil and keep it in reserve.

    2 Widen the area at the bottom of the hole until the bottom is slightly wider than the hole opening. Fill the bottom of the hole with approximately 4 inches of gravel or small stones. This will help improve drainage.

    3 Position your clothes line in the center of the hole. Prop it with large wooden struts, or have someone hold the vertical pole. Level the pole so that it is standing upright completely.

    4 Mix a batch of instant cement according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour the cement into the hole.

    5 Smooth the area around the base of the pole on a slight mound. Cover the cement mound with excavated earth and tamp hard. This will help run rainwater out of the area and away from the pole.

    Tips and warnings

    •     Clothesline site near a door where you can easily reach it. Install your line in which the drying clothes will receive a lot of sun. Avoid placing posts near the street, or near trees that can leave leaves, seeds and bird droppings on their clean clothes.
    •     grass seeds or a little-rooted spreader such as mint or ivy at the base of the drying pole to help prevent erosion.
    •     If you are served by municipal public services, always contact your local public services officials before digging into your yard. Know and mark the locations of buried cables and underground connections.






    How to make a clothesline to hang clothes by using a fixed pulley

    As energy prices rise and people become more environmentally aware, clotheslines are becoming increasingly popular. These devices use simple without electricity and are better for clothes than a mechanical dryer. The heat from a dryer damages the fibers in your clothes, causing them to shrink. Installation of a fixed-pulley clothesline allows you to add and remove line elements from a fixed position. All you need is two places to assemble your pulleys.

    Instructions

    1 Look around your property for a secure mounting point for one of the pulleys. Common pulley assemblies are fence posts, sheds or sturdy trees. The first pulley will be installed in your home, so keep this in mind when choosing the second location.

    2 Place a ladder next to the second mounting point and climb to the top. Have a second person hold the ladder for safety.

    3 twist one of the hooks in J, about 8 to 10 feet from the ground, at the second mounting point. Insert the hook J into what is going to go and leave the hook in the up position.

    4 Turn the second J-hook on the wood on the side of the building in a similar manner. If your house is brick, you will need to secure a hook with masonry screws in the bricks.

    5 Place a fixed pulley on each hook. Pass the cable through the rope to lay the bottom of the pulley along and on top. Pull the thread all the way to the first pulley and feed it through the top and down.

    6 Pull the thread back to the center so that it overlaps the other end of the thread and cut with pliers.

    7 Insert one end of the wire into each end of the wire tensioner. Push both wires through the center of the mechanism and pull the wires to eliminate as much slack as possible.

    8 Activate the wire tensioner mechanism to tighten the line cable. If the line extends from use, you can add tension to the line by turning this mechanism.

    Tips and warnings

    •     Place the clothesline in an area that receives good sun and a strong breeze for the best results.
    •     When fixing the hook for the building, it is important to place it on a wooden frame-member to provide a sturdy support.

    Factors to Consider clothesline Before Buying


    If you are already pricked by the curiosity bug and are thinking of buying a clothesline , I recommend you consider the following factors when choosing :

    Drying surface

    This is an important factor when choosing a clothesline. Depending on the type of drying rack, the drying surface may be larger or smaller.

    I recommend choosing one that is foldable , since these have a much larger surface area, and by not using them they are easy to store .

    Material

    By this I mean the material from which the clothes line is made. They can be steel , iron or resin . The latter are recommended since they are the most resistant and do not rust.

    Also, always look for the rods have plastic coating to last longer.

    Weight

    This factor is closely linked to other factors such as the material it is made of and the size . You want it to be light and this is achieved with materials such as resin with not so large sizes.

    On average, a drying rack can weigh between 1 and 4 kilograms .

    Additional wings

    It is a very useful factor since a greater number of wings , more clothes we can tend on it.

    The wings are mostly characteristic of the folding stand clotheslines .

    Bag for tweezers

    Some clotheslines include this accessory . As the name implies, it consists of a sachet to store the clothes pegs. This can be with a hook to place or hang on the clothesline.

    Wheels to transport

    This is another very useful accessory but it is seen more than anything on clotheslines standing or with wings . It's great because it allows us to move the clothesline more easily without the need to load it.

    Price

    In general, clotheslines are quite cheap but depending on their specifications (size, material, type), they can cost more. For example, radiators are cheaper than electric ones.




    Exterior Vs. Interior

    These are two categories to consider in a clothesline. Depending on their location, they can be indoor and outdoor clotheslines; each with interesting benefits to offer.

    Exterior

    •     The outdoor clotheslines are designed to be used on the outside of our house, on a terrace or window, also on the wall.
    •     They are larger than indoor ones but as they are to be used outside this is not usually a problem. Thanks to this, a greater amount of clothes can be laid.
    •     The biggest hit that the exterior tenders have is that they depend a lot on the weather . If it is raining or the weather is cold, clothes will not dry out.
    •     These can be ideal standing for terraces or balconies, ceiling and wall .

    Inside

    •     On the other hand, indoor clotheslines, as the name implies, are made to be used inside the house .
    •     They are independent of what happens with the weather, allowing you to dry your clothes no matter what happens outside.
    •     The counter of these clotheslines is that they occupy space inside the house , so if your house is small you should consider an option that takes up less space like the roof clotheslines.
    •     They can be standing , wing , radiator and roof .

    In general, both variations of clotheslines offer good benefits but it depends on you and your space or amount of laundry that you wash in the laundry.



    Rotary vs. Retractable

    You ask yourself, and are there more types of clotheslines? And the answer to that question is yes.

    Rotary

    •     Rotating clotheslines are recommended for light clothing such as socks, underwear or small garments.
    •     These can be both indoor and outdoor . The first are smaller and are usually made of plastic while the second are made of metal and has two arms that fit the window.
    •     Rotating clotheslines allow you to reach any string when you turn it. In fact, the greater the distance between the ropes, the faster the clothes will dry.

    Retractable

    •     As for the retractable clotheslines these also offer good benefits. The main one is that they occupy little space when they are not being used.
    •     Like the swivels, they also have indoor and outdoor models. Both are installed on the wall, but those inside are usually a little smaller than those outside.
    •     Also the latter are made of a stronger material such as steel to withstand the inclemency of the weather.
    •     The detail of these clotheslines is in that you must be sure of the place of the wall where you are going to install it since they are fixed.

    Swivels or retractable, both are good but it depends on what you look for one that will fill your expectations more.

    Selection of the clothesline model

    Once we are analyzing different models of clotheslines, it will be crucial to analyze the different materials that are used to manufacture them. We need a model that is strong and that resists the passage of time well.

    Its design must be made to adapt to us and not vice versa; we need a clothesline that is aesthetic, and that is solid.

    An important criterion, which is not always given importance, is weight. This data will appear on the product sheet of each of the clotheslines, so we will have to check that it is light, so that it does not give us more work than necessary.

    How many clothes are we going to tend?

    A factor that is also very important. In the case that we do the laundry many times a week (or if we have a washing machine that has a very large drum), then we will need to buy a clothesline that has a high capacity (a good value would be 15kg or so , but this will depend on the needs of each person in question).

    How much does a clothesline cost?

    This is the million dollar question, and probably one of the most complicated to answer. The problem is that there are many models in the market, made of high quality brands.

    What we can do is establish an approximate budget from the beginning, according to what we want to spend. Once we investigate different models, we can analyze if we adjust to that budget, or if we increase it a little more to gain benefits.

    We recommend that you invest a little more in choosing a clothes line that will last over the years . It is useless to pay little if in just a few months your structure deteriorates or, worse, it rusts until it reaches the level of affecting our clothes.

    In the market we can find very cheap models that barely reach $ 20 , while some could exceed $ 60 ; Depending on what we are looking for, we will be able to buy a cheap clothesline , but without this affecting the quality.

    Where to buy clotheslines?

    The classic option, the most usual, is to go to any type of establishment, Carrefour type, choose the model that they have at that moment on offer and take it home.

    The problem with this is that, in general, the prices are going to be quite high compared to what you can get in an online store . You will also have to consider that the clothesline will occupy a certain amount of space, so if we have a car with small dimensions, or we do not have a car, taking it can be an odyssey.

    That is why, we recommend you buy clothes line online . It helps you get a very important savings, taking home the same product. You can return it without being convinced, in the same way you would with a clothesline and, in addition, you can have it at home in record time without even having left it.

    To recap, we have three options to get a clothesline:

    •     We can make them ourselves: The advantage of this is that we can have it to measure, to be able to adapt to our conditions of space. The problem is that we will have to have some skill with DIY, otherwise, the fudge may be good.
    •     We can go to a store that specializes in clotheslines: It is the most expensive option, the variety is somewhat limited, some items do not have them in stock and they have to ask for them, but they have an interesting advantage and it is the advice ; You can talk with experts who can advise you on your particular case to help you choose the perfect clothesline.
    •     We can buy the clothes line online: Finally, we always have the option of buying the clothes line online. There are pages like Amazon where we can find prices of up to 70% discount, compared to the same product in specialized pages. In addition, in certain stores we can also get in touch with specialized managers, so they can answer all our questions before proceeding with the purchase.

    Next, we offer you a complete list so that you can choose the shopkeeper you are looking for, classified based on the use that is given:



    Types of Clotheslines

    Before talking about the types, we must know well what is a clothesline. It is a device of ropes, wires, plastic, among others, used to hang wet clothes.

    There are several types of clotheslines , but among the best known are the following:

    Radiator

    Made of steel, this type of clothesline has two handles that fit easily into the radiators , allowing your clothes to dry faster and without the fear that you might get to burn.

    It is ideal for small clothes such as socks, flannels, underwear, among others.

    Electric

    This, as the name implies, works with electric power . It is ideal for drying clothes that you need to dry very quickly or for emergencies with a last-minute spot.

    Roof

    This type of clothesline is ideal to save spaces . It works by means of a system of pulleys and ropes that make the clothes stand at a high height . It is very useful in narrow and long corridors.

    Wall

    It is a very practical and versatile model . It is installed directly on the wall , in a place where it does not bother as we can not then change it.

    It is great because when we are not using it as a drying rack, it can be used to hang jackets or bags .

    With wings

    This type of clothesline is foldable , because it can be folded and thus occupy less space when it is not used.

    Generally, they are made of steel and have arms or wings that, by means of some pins, can be placed in different positions to tend both small and larger clothes.

Considerations to take into account when choosing a clothesline

Types of clotheslines that exist

Before talking about the specific criteria, it is interesting to know the different types of clotheslines there are:

Indoor clothes airer

It is the most usual option, and the most versatile, since we can choose the place where we are going to hang clothes. For example, if we have a patio, the most common is that we place the indoor clothesline in it ... but when it is cold, it rains, or there is any kind of more delicate atmospheric condition, then we will have the facility to put it inside.

However, one of the disadvantages to consider is that they occupy a considerable space, so if we have one with small dimensions, we may not interest us too much. In this case, we should choose a clothesline that could be folded easily.

Outdoor clothes airer

On the other hand, we have the option of outdoor clotheslines . Its main advantages are that the capacity of clothes that can house is much higher, and that it does not need space inside the house. Being outside can be a problem when it is, since they are fixed clotheslines; that is, unlike the others, we can not take them inside the house.

To solve this, there are certain plastic tarpaulins that can protect clothing with greater or lesser effectiveness.

However, the installation of these clotheslines is very expensive. If we have not opted for quality materials, the structure can be oxidized (and although we have done it, with the passage of time it is possible that it has to be given some other layer of paint).

You also have to consider that choosing an aesthetic clothesline is not a visually very attractive option. There are even some municipalities where it is forbidden to store clothes on those facades that are oriented to a public road.

Taking into account these advantages and disadvantages, we recommend you the portable clotheslines because they are the most versatile.

Where are we going to place it?

One of the basic criteria to take into account when choosing a clothesline is the space where it will be placed; depending on it, we will choose a model that has more or less adjusted dimensions.

Depending on the place of placement , there are features that the shopkeeper will adapt to the environment.

For example, we will not use the same clothesline if we are going to place it in a closed terrace, or an open one (in this last case, there are some special ones that have protectors to avoid that any neighbor can get to gossip our clothes).

If it is going to be placed in a laundry room or a toilet, then we will choose a type of folding clothesline, with tight dimensions.

In the event that we are going to place it in places where there is space, such as in the garage, we can probably choose a model with larger dimensions since the limitations will be minimal.

If your house is small and does not have good ventilation, if you live in a community of neighbors it is likely that you can climb the terrace to tend. In this case, you will have to choose a light clothesline, which is easy to take to the folded roof and then unfold it. This process can be very tedious, so it is worth opting for an ergonomic clothesline model that really fits our pretensions.

Installation of the clothes line

In general, the installation of a drying rack is not something that involves much difficulty (at least not in the indoor laundry). The cheaper models simply come folded, so we'll have to deploy them and they'll be ready to be used.

In those more sophisticated models, possibly have a much more iron structure, so the assembly can be a bit complicated.

What we have to do is follow the instructions manual to the letter and you will see how you do not have any kind of problem.

Type of folding

Ok, it is true that the vast majority of clotheslines are folded ( Who would want an indoor clothesline that was fixed? ), But this does not mean there are different types of folding.

Some are simple , being able to do it in just a few seconds ... while others have a system that they sell as more sophisticated , but at the moment of truth it will complicate our lives.

The idea is to choose a type of folding that is comfortable for us, and that really helps to reduce the dimensions of the clothesline in a sensible way (for example, if we have to take it outside the house for some reason, in order to take it to the roof as we said before, to keep it in a closet until we use it again).

Drying

We can come to think that drying does not have much to do with the structure of the clothesline itself. It is true that it depends on many factors such as the weather, the humidity of the place where it has been placed, how close it is to other appliances such as heaters ... but it is also true that the clothes line material has a lot to say.

The first thing we have to consider is the space that remains between the garment and the garment on the clothesline: if we have chosen a very tight model, leaving the clothes stacked, these will cost more to dry. That is why, it is always convenient to choose a model that fits the volume of washing we have on a daily basis.

On the other hand, there are some materials that perspire more than another, causing them to dry before.

Remember: The more separation between lines of the clothesline, and the longer it is, the faster the laundry will dry.

Clotheslines - How to choose the most suitable one?

Although aesthetically the clotheslines, surely, are not the decorative element that your house needs, in many homes it is essential. Not everyone has the space or the money to replace them with the dryers that are now so fashionable.

In addition to being more economical than this appliance (do not consume light), the advantage of the stalls in front of the dryers is the care of the clothes. High temperatures cause garments to be damaged much sooner than if they dried naturally. Just as there are fabrics that must be washed by hand, not all clothes can be tucked into the dryer.

There are numerous types of clotheslines that can be adapted to your needs and space to perfection. When choosing the one that best suits us, we must take into account two important aspects:

  • 1.Where are we going to put it?
  • 2.Space available to place it

Types of Clotheslines

In Order at home we have a wide range in which we hope to find the clothesline that best fits what you are looking for.

WALL

On the one hand you can find the clotheslines fixed to the wall, both indoors and outdoors. They are perfect, for example, for balcony walls that you want to take advantage of to have an extra drying room. In addition to being foldable, when you do not have clothes to dry you will recover all the space.

ROOF

Until now only one type of roof rack was conceived, the fixed ones in which you had to juggle up a stool to hang your clothes. With the SOL roof clotheslines this situation will no longer be given. You just have to turn the crank and the ropes will go down to the height that suits you. Then to raise it again you will only have to turn the handle in the opposite direction.

It is Ideal for the elderly or with mobility problems.

STANDING

Finally, we have standing clotheslines. These are the most common when resorting to extra laying space. They are foldable and easy to store. They are also available in many sizes for you to choose the one that best suits your needs





Clotheslines for hanging clothes

Tender clothes is a daily task in any house. Choosing a clothesline that suits your domestic needs and your available space is key to drying your clothes properly.

The keys

- The fundamental choice criterion is the place where the clothes line is used and the space available.
- There are models for all tastes: fixed, mobile, extendable, standing, rotating ... To place on a balcony, in the bathtub, the wall or the ceiling, a radiator ...

Types of Clotheslines

There are different models of clothesline. The choice will depend on a series of criteria. The main aspect that you should keep in mind is where you are going to place it.

1. ACCORDING TO YOUR LOCATION

It can be inside or outside the house.

- The indoor ones have the advantage that they can be used regardless of the climate you make. Thus, you will not be aware of whether it is raining, windy or too sunny, with the risk of yellowing the clothes that it entails. Its disadvantage is that they occupy part of the space of the house. It is advisable to avoid placing them in a transit area or high traffic area. A great option to not have that problem is to install roof rack, widely used in the kitchen terraces, for example.

Inside the indoor clotheslines can be: bathtub, standing (can have wings with more space to stretch), radiator or roof.

- The outdoors. Its advantage is its great capacity, although they also take up more space, characteristics that are not a problem, since when it is placed outside the house, it does not prevent the usual traffic in the home. Its disadvantage is that its use is subject to inclement weather.

If you opt for outdoor clotheslines you can use accessories such as protectors (plastic to protect clothes) and nets for delicate clothes.

Inside the outdoor clotheslines can be: standing, balcony, ceiling or wall.


2. ACCORDING TO YOUR INSTALLATION

You can also make the classification of clotheslines depending on the installation mode. In this sense there are superimposed or anchoring.

- Mobile phones They are superimposed, they can be moved, that is, you can place them each time in a different place. Standing clotheslines, radiators, railings, bathtubs are of this type. These models can be folded, once they are no longer needed, and saved. They tend to have a smaller number of linear meters of clothesline. The most characteristic is that of wings. This type is in aluminum, resin ...

- Fixed They are the anchor. There are models that can be installed to the ceiling and others, to the wall. In both cases, caution should be exercised regarding the weight that the clothes line will support and that will be supported on the roof and the wall. Both surfaces must guarantee the stability and the load that will resist. Within this category there are some that are extensible or fixed -the fixed ones can be for wall, fixed for balconies and fixed for roof-, that can not change structure or that are raised and lowered with a crank.

In the installation, it is important to level it correctly and use the appropriate plugs according to the type of surface where we want to fix it. Otherwise, when you store the clothes, the clothes will slide towards the uneven side.


3. ACCORDING TO THE MATERIAL

Clotheslines can be made of:

- With the squares that make arms to fix them in the wall of painted iron. They are resistant to weight. They are usually painted in tunnels baked with special paints that support corrosion quite well.

- Zinc plated iron. They are zicandos by electrolysis, which is a treatment that consists of subjecting the pieces to a bath of zinc, with the main objective of protecting them from corrosion.

- Stainless steel They are resistant to inclement weather. They are suitable for use outdoors and for homes that are located in humid places such as northern Spain, coastal areas ...

- Plastic. They are lighter so you should keep in mind that wet clothes weigh more than dry clothes before hanging them on the clothesline, in order to not hold more load than they can handle.

- Aluminum. It is a lightweight and durable material in the open, resistant to corrosion


OTHER ASPECTS OF TAKING INTO ACCOUNT

If for lack of space or aesthetics you want a drying rack that is hidden once you do not need it, your possibilities are: standing or extensible. You can both fold them when they have fulfilled their function.

• What clothes are you going to hang?
For underwear, socks or small garments, there are specific models: rotating clotheslines. There are also others, also rotating that have a mobile arm, for the exterior, so that you can hang your clothes from the window and turn the clothesline so that you can reach all the cords comfortably.

• The greater the distance between the different lines, the more drying is favored and the time necessary for the clothes to dry is shortened.
