Might I suggest what I had. Go to Ace Hdw, or Westlake (whatever they are called in your area) and get a pull-out clothesline. You attach the main pc to the wall, and the clothesline pulls out and hooks to another wall. I believe the length is like 16-20 ft. The way it pulls out, you can adjust the tension so your line is tight. I literally wore mine out, of course it was 8 yrs old, so----- Pretty good for less than $20.00

If you don't have dumb boy kids, buy a clothesline that is retractable. If you have dumb boy kids, get the wooden thing because the dumb boy kids will do something stupid with the clothesline.

Plus you have humidity in the dry air of winter months. I use to live in a town house when the youngest was a baby in cloth diapers. I would set up the wooden rack at the top of the stairs (heat rises) and the diapers would dry over night. Mary

Also, in the winter time I use my drying rack for wet towels as it puts humidity in the air. No need for a humidifier. It really does make a difference in breathing. Mary

Use my hanging DOLLY ,wooden rails from ceiling, or rack ,line can leave pronounced mark where hung.

I hang most of my work clothes from hangers in the house, my underthings and 'dry flat' things on the wooden rack, and everything else goes on the line oustide, If I had a basement I'd have a line down there too!

I have seen some English drying racks that hang from the ceiling. You lower them to hang things on and then raise them again. I think they use a pulley and ropes. That would keep the clothes up out of the way.

Clothesline in the spare bedroom with a floor fan going.


I stopped the outside line when the chickens thought it was fun to try and perch on top :hunf:

I have a clothes line for hanging outside and a rack for hanging inside during the winter in front of the wood stove. I love the fresh clean smell of clothes dried outside.

If my dryer can't be fixed, usually I won't spend money on a several Yr. old dryer, I go buy another. Too many birds to hang things out, I did that in my younger days. Never again.
