Do you think this will help with drying washing?

Options
I have been thinking about how to dry my washing

was so pleased to come home from work 2day and no rain so washing lovely and dry from the washing line!:)

Well i've been thinking about building a car port type cover for part of my patio to put my washing line under.

Maybe this would be easier?

    Looks alright, but the website says that it is a sun shade. Unless I misread something, it does not say that it will protect against rain. Maybe it will. but there is no point in buying it unless you are sure.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Katie, as that site is in USA then this probably applies (from HM Revenue & Customs website) which will make your purchase more expensive, and as 27col says it doesn't say it's waterproof.
    If you buy goods online from a country outside the European Union, for instance the USA, Canada, China, Australia
    You will be charged:

    Customs duty if the amount of duty is €10 (£7) or over
    Import VAT if the value of the goods is €22 (£18) and over
    Excise duty for some goods like alcohol and tobacco

    If I can't get my washing outside I put in on a clothes horse on the landing (my landing is quite generously sized) and it generally dries overnight. You can leave your window on vent if worried about causing damp.

    How about a Rotaire? It's a cover for your rotary washing line!

    I tried getting one this week as soon as I discovered them, but it seems they've sold out in our size, so must be good!

    I recently bought one after someone mentioned them on here and it really does do what it says, very easy to fit and I don't have to rush out and bring my washing in every time there is a shower.
