I am having the wall mounted fold down line beside the house. Are you having it on a side of the house that has an access path, or is it away from everything? clothesline 24Mar 02, 2009 7:57 pm It will be on the side wall near the exit door of the laundry to the backyard. It will be away from everything (except water tanks) and my DH still thinks he will bump his head on it...I told him "Well Duck", yes Duck. It's not like he uses the clothesline that often www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: Clothesline type and reasons 25Mar 02, 2009 8:15 pm Where we live at the moment we have a flip out one from the wall. It ias 7 lines on it from memory.
In regard to the queen size flat sheets, you peg the corners on two lines, then peg the middle of the ends of the sheets in the middle of the line, then you hang your undies in the remaining line space. My husband is well impressed with my clothes line prowess. Re: Clothesline type and reasons 26Mar 02, 2009 8:36 pm netadelle Where we live at the moment we have a flip out one from the wall.

http://www.versaline.com.au/ We love it!! I ordered it on a Sunday and it arrived on the following Tuesday. I saw them at the Home Show in Melbourne last year and spoke to the man who designed it. It is perfect for our sideway. Cheers Kate Re: Clothesline type and reasons 31Mar 03, 2009 4:54 pm GLHTAH We have just installed one of these... http://www.versaline.com.au/ We love it!!

Cheers Kate I was almost sold on this until I saw how it disappeared, sorry I am lazy Re: Clothesline type and reasons 32Mar 03, 2009 7:31 pm I'm with Maya_Papaya. Going for a traditional HIlls Hoist for our new house since we have no shortage of space. We will also be putitng one of those extenda lines in the garage.
We had a hand me down old hills hoist at our last house. ( neighbours from ourprevious house had removed it and we got it from them) We had it for 17 years and goodness knows how long they'd had it before us but at least 15 + years. The plastic on the handle had fallen off ( ok been chewed off by our GSH) and we'd replaced the wire line and it wasn't willing to go up or down anymore but it was still doing a great drying job. We have a wall line here at the rental and I hate it. Re: Clothesline type and reasons 33Mar 04, 2009 1:29 am When we move I am going to miss my hills hoist. Previously to that, when we were renting, we had the foldout one, and I didnt like it! Most times I ran out of room way before I ran out of washing! With my HH I can hang out all my washing, and the only thing I run out of is pegs!!
When we move we will be getting this one. http://shopping.hsw.com.au/product_info ... b8ls7i6466 We dont have much wall space for a foldout one, no space on the laundry side to fix it in the ground/ on fence, and no room in the back yard for a traditional hills hoist. Apart from the retractable ones (which I am not so keen on) we have limited options.

Re: Clothesline type and reasons 35Mar 04, 2009 9:31 am I was given by a co-worker her clothesline as she has subdivided her property and will not have the room for it, it is a huge, fold up removable out of the ground type. It is in great condition and have the room for it. Re: Clothesline type and reasons 36Mar 04, 2009 9:50 am Why not just have two discreet hooks on either side of the alfresco and get one of those portable washing lines you get for when you are camping, and you can just put it up when you are drying sheets? Wolah, solution.
If we had a big backyard, without doubt i'd get a big traditional one, but within a small space, we will go for the one on the wall. Sorry with all the technical terms here.... Another question I would have, which wall would be most suited? North, east, south or west? ICK So glad the building is over, never again. Loooove our house, but still not quite sure it was worth all of the stress they put us through! Re: Clothesline type and reasons 38Mar 24, 2009 9:55 pm We are going to have the good 'ole Hills hoist in the backyard but over towards the "dead" side of the house and we have a north facing backyard. It will also have a cover and be removable so I will store it down the sideway when it's not in use. For rainy days we will use one of these in the laundry; http://www.invisibleclothesline.com.au/ If anyone is interested, you can check it out at Howards Storage World Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

Re: Clothesline type and reasons 39Mar 25, 2009 12:35 am homemakerjill lorenaf1 Check out this link: http://www.australclotheshoists.com.au/retracta.htm Austral make a retracting clothes line that you can use from 2mts long. I can still fit a queen size sheet on it even though its only across my carport. When I'm not using it I just unhook it from the carport post and put it back into the cabinet. The whole range is Australian made unlike the great Australian icon that is now made in China! I just phoned our local Austral office they were great. a few of my neighbours had designs similar to these in the 80s - i hope australclotheshoists have worked on the spool design, as many of the earlier examples (possibly from other manufacturers - unsure) had a habit of tangling up in itself after a while.
