Product Information

For the most part, concertina lines can extend outwards up to around 60 cm, and often they remain reasonably sturdy even when items are hung on the bars furthest from the wall unit. After you’ve restrung all of the clotheslines in the inner section, if you’re using a hook or a hole model, attach it to the last hook or hole. How to restring a Brabantia rotary washing line? Some designs are stronger than others, and it all comes down to the quality of their construction. They tend to be made of aluminium because it is light and helps the retractable mechanism work well without weighing down the line. However, aluminium isn’t as strong as steel, and often these lines can struggle to hold lots of heavier items like wet towels. If the frame of your line has seen better days, it’s certainly a good reason to consider replacing the whole unit. There’s nothing to clean and no re-stringing to perform when you buy a new line, so you’re getting both a shiny new line and a time saving all in one. The next thing that you need to do is change the distribution of the washing line until it’s even. The washing line should be equally distributed on all the sections of the rotary dryer.

Don’t position the wall unit and hooks at the maximum distance away from each other. Even if the washing line can stretch to 15 metres, using a shorter length like 8 – 10 metres can prevent how much it sags. Install cleat hooks underneath the wall unit. Wrapping the washing line around these large, metal cleat hooks, after pulling out the amount that you need, will prevent more line from being pulled out unnecessarily. On a similar note, using a retractable washing line can also save you money. If you currently rely on the tumble drier because you don’t have enough space for an airer or washing line, having a retractable washing line will give you an alternative method of drying clothes. Different Types of Retractable Line Follow these steps to install a clothesline on a frame: Begin by threading the new line around the device, as shown in step two. When you’ve completed that pass, drop down a level and repeat the process. Tying The Knot On Ends For Securing The New Washing LineTie the new clothesline to the hook using a threader. With a perforated hole model, simply pass the clothesline through the hole. Pulling The Washing Line Through Occasionally, certain styles of retractable washing line can come up against specific problems. Below are the most common problems that come up for spool lines and wall mounted ‘rotary’ lines, as well as how to combat them. Troubleshooting Spool Retractable Washing Lines The main disadvantage of these lines is their strength, and the other is that they require quite a lot of wall space. Although they don’t use much room when retracted, they require quite a lot of clearance space along the wall once open. Because of their horizontal design, this style of retractable airer works well when positioned over a radiator inside. They’re often made from aluminium and plastic-coated steel, which also makes them suitable for use outside. Remove the old clothesline from the tensioner, cutting it just past the end. Replace the tensioner cover on one side of the rotary arm that you’ve completed connecting the new line with the next arm. Threading The Cover With Free End Of The New Line

They often have around 24 – 26 metres of drying space, which is generally suitable for one load of washing. Unlike some other retractable washing lines, this option doesn’t sag too easily under the weight of light washing. However, if you’re hanging heavier items such as jeans, bath towels or beddings, you may wish to invest in a prop. If your rotary washing line is fully extended and your clotheslines are still sagging, then you can use a tension line clip to re-tension your clothesline. Some rotary washing lines come with built-in tension line clips. These are much better to use as they tend to be located on the end of the rotary washing line arms allowing you to tighten the clothesline from the end rather than in the middle.Clothesline Rope – The clothesline rope should be long enough to allow you to loop around the pulleys. Mark where you’re going to install the pulleys. One pulley should be where you want to stand when you’re hanging your washing up, just above your head but still within reach. The other should be a fair distance away, around 10-20ft off the ground. As a result, drying heavier washing such as towels and jeans can cause the washing line to hang low to the ground, and it’s therefore better suited to drying smaller loads of washing. This is one of the primary benefits of a spool retractable washing line. The other main benefit is how compact the main unit is, and how little space they take up. Buying a spool line that is housed in casing is a good idea to keep the line clean and dry, even if it does make the wall unit slightly bulkier. The retractable washing line consists of a double line: two PVC lines that measure 13 m each. They provide space for a couple of loads of washing and can handle up to 25 kg in total, but a pole to prop up the lines will likely still be required.
