All staff - office and installer were excellent.
Like the product but have a query about the number of lines and their placement. 14 lines sounds wonderful but the reality of their placement means some are useless. Eg the line closest to the wall. The slightest breeze means wet washing brushing against an exterior wall that I’m not about to wash. Lines so close to each other are an inefficient method of drying. I love the line but query line placement and the reasoning behind the number of lines. I would recommend the product but it would be superb with extra attention to lines.

Can I remove the Folding Rotary Clothes Hoist?

Yes, the folding rotary hoist is designed so the arms can be folded away when not being used.

They also come with a ground socket that is cemented into the ground, allowing the hoist to be easily inserted or removed as needed.

How high should I install my clothesline?

The general rule for installing a clothesline is to position it 50 to 100mm above the head of the person who will be using it most.

Additionally, it’s important to consider any slope in the area where the clothesline is being installed, as this can affect the overall height and accessibility. Adjust the installation height accordingly to ensure the clothesline is practical and easy to use.

What is the difference between a folding rotary clothes hoist and a fixed head clothes hoist?

A folding rotary hoist clothesline can be folded up when not in use and can be easily removed from its ground socket, giving you back valuable back yard space.

In contrast, a fixed-head rotary hoist clothes hoist has fixed arms and cannot be removed from the ground. It cannot be folded up, but it offers a more robust design and construction, making it a popular option if space allows for it.

Can I place an order over the phone?

Complete Folding Rotary Clothesline Range

Folding rotary clotheslines offer a modern take on a classic Australian design, combining generous drying capacity with the convenience of a fold-away structure. When not in use, the head can be folded down, and many models can be removed from the ground socket entirely to free up outdoor space.

Manufactured from galvanised or powder-coated steel, folding rotary clotheslines are built for long-term outdoor use and are available in a range of sizes and configurations. Popular options include the iconic Hills Hoist, along with trusted alternatives from Austral.

With varying head diameters and line spacing, many folding rotary clotheslines are suitable for drying queen and king size sheets, making them ideal for family households and larger laundry loads.

At The Clothesline Store, we stock a carefully selected range of folding rotary clotheslines, supported by expert advice, fast despatch and genuine accessories.
