Why Choose an Australian Made Fold Down Clothesline?
Locally made clotheslines are built for Australian conditions and travel shorter distances to your door. Air Dry frames are made from 100% Australian steel and powder coated to handle sun, rain and coastal air. They fold flat against the wall when not in use, and have a 10 year frame warranty with 12 months on the cord.

Which Air Dry Size Is Right for You?
For singles, couples and small spaces, a 1.5m to 1.8m width with a 0.6m depth fits side passages and courtyards. For 3 to 4 people, choose a 2.4m width. For larger families or heavy washing, a 3.0m or 3.3m width at 1.2m to 1.5m deep, or a twin fold, gives the most line space and holds king sheets. Always measure your wall and check clearance before ordering.
How Can You Install an Air Dry Clothesline?
Mount it to a solid brick or concrete wall, use a ground mount kit in soil or grass, or use a base plate kit on concrete. If you don't have a suitable wall, a ground mount kit is the right choice. Don't mount a fold down clothesline on a fence.
