Outdoor Retractable Clothesline - A Comprehensive Guide

Are you tired of traditional clothesline products that are too flimsy to be useful? Perhaps it’s time to invest in an outdoor retractable clothesline for your backyard. The best products allow you to adjust the height of the clothesline, so you can reach it. They are perfect for drying just about anything—including larger blankets and sheets.

The anatomy of an outdoor retractable clothesline

Finding a sturdy clothesline to hold your clothes as they dry can be frustrating because some of the typical products in the market today use small wires that bend just after a few uses. Others are made of soft plastic that deteriorate over time. Outdoor retractable clotheslines solve all these issues.

A heavy duty retractable clothesline for outdoor use is engineered to withstand strong winds and comes complete with external reinforcing brackets at the hinges and a reinforced center mast. They will arrive fully assembled with PVC poly core pre-strung cords that are designed to be super durable. You don’t have to worry about them sagging or losing their form over time. A truly robust outdoor retractable clothesline only uses hard-wearing, non-ferrous materials to eliminate rust, as well as easy-to-clean anodized aluminum and strong aluminum sides and brackets.

An anodized metal has undergone a chemical process during which it is immersed in an acidic electrolyte while passing an electric current. After the process, the material is transformed into a more durable and corrosion-resistant product. Clotheslines that are made of this can withstand water and rust, not to mention longer-lasting.

Carefully handcrafted

You can’t compare the quality of a handmade product to a machine-assembled unit. That is why truly world-class outdoor retractable clotheslines are made by hand. Each one is checked for its quality and robustness before it leaves the manufacturing facility.

Easy to install

Even though a heavy duty retractable clothesline for outdoor use is quite a complex product, it is simple to install. All you really need is a cavity block and quick-set postcrete. The manufacturer should send you a step-by-step manual. You can also see the instructions on their website.

Where to get them

To get the best prices, buy your retractable clothesline straight from the manufacturer. Some of the best ones sell directly to the end-consumers—in fact, you can easily order one online straight from their website.
