Airer for balcony railing?

Hey all

I was wondering whether any OSer's can recommend an airer to use on my balcony's railings?

I have a standard indoor airer which I put out on there to dry my laundry but I was looking at getting something that can attach to the railing so I can hang it over the outer side therefore giving me more space to sit in the sun :D. I was thinking of something similar to the radiator airers but bigger.

TIA (and feel free to move to a better place if needed)

    Are you sure you're allowed to put washing on your balcony? Most leases forbid it.

    i think the root of damp walls in flats comes from the ludicrous lease rule--i am freehold and dare them to try stop me--its impractical to dry everything all year inside!

    It's not mentioned in my tenancy agreement, plus everyone else puts their's out on indoor airers/makeshift washing lines (sadly no-one has the design I have in my head, otherwise I'd have asked them where it's from!), and the tenants association are fine with it.

    Hi flutterbyuk,

    As your thread has dropped down the Old Style board I've moved it over to the I wanna board to see if you can get more suggestions.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Thanks for suggesting these. The first one is what I have in mind but I would need to be able to secure it to the railing as it's quite windy where I live! So not sure if it possible.

    Sadly the Argos one is wall fixing which is not allowed under tenacy agreement.
