I grew up with that kind of clothesline and used one like it in one of our apartments. Around here we have "clothes poles", the T shape with three lines between them. I'm working on getting one. Our subdivision rules prohibit hanging clothes, but, the president of the association said if no one can see it from the street, that;s fine. Good enough, since we have a fence, and, if we put it where I want it, I won't even see it unless I go behind the carport. I've just not had the motivation to call about getting one.
