Washing Line Or Rotary?

Primrose

I must confess that in cold windy weather, I peg up all my laundry first in the kitchen, dump it in a bowl and hurry outside. With the pegs already in situ, hanging it on the whirlygig is a much quicker task.

Where can you buy poles from? You know what you attach the line to?

I think my garden is actually too small for a rotary line!!! If I had one in the middle there would be no room for my flower beds and veg patch (no lawn!) so I have a clothes line running above the path and providing I put the shorter items near the bean canes and avoid the path to the garage when DH is at home it works a treat!!

I prefer a long washing line, I match my pegs as close in colour to the clothes as I can. I always take my washing in at night but only hang my underwear indoors, due to having a knicker nicker many years ago.

i dont have room for a long washing line so I have a rotary "whirlygig" and I love it. Have bought a retractable washing line too but havent got round to fitting it yet

Hi can anyoue tell me how to put up a washing line I want one where you pull it up and its out of the way as i only have a small garden
Thank you

I have a rotary washing line with two holes in the lawn as the top half of the garden only gets sun for half the day. When the whirlyjgig gets overtaken by shade I just pick up the whole contraption with the clothes hanging on it and simply walk it to the other sunny location and stick it in the other hole in the ground. Helps any thick laundry dry more quickly.

Personally i dont think you can beat a rotary washing line. Mine holds loads of laundry, far more than i could evere get on a standard line and rotates so freely with the slightest breeze. My clothes dry in a wiz (LOL). The one i have is a 60mtr crank and lift and is so strong and robust i wouldn't swap it for anything else. It was pricey at around £80.00 from a company i found online called The home laundry company and found the service really good. Because it raises in height by use of a handle i have found that drying is really quick but you need a large garden for this one. Roll on summer!!

I prefer a long washing line, in fact I have two long ones and a small retractable one across the patio.

I prefer a nice long washing line - I've had a rotary in the past, and it just doesn't dry as efficiently as you have clothes within clothes and not getting any sunlight or wind
