Installing a Retractable Washing Line: Step by Step

I've had the experience of using two different types of retractable washing lines: one with a single line and another with dual lines. Here's how I managed to install both successfully.

Installation on External Walls

At my previous house, which had a small courtyard garden, I installed the retractable line on an external wall. I drilled holes, inserted rawl plugs, and screwed the unit into place. The line was attached to the left side of our house extension and hooked over a cup hook on the right-hand corner wall, ultimately creating a V-shaped line using a double-ended hook on the back wall. This setup provided two parallel lines for drying clothes.

Installation in a Larger Garden

In our current home with a more extended garden, we opted to attach cup hooks to fence posts on both sides of the garden. The lines are secured over these hooks, and I use a prop to elevate them when needed, making it an efficient way to dry laundry over a larger area.

Our washing line was purchased from TK Maxx, a testament to the accessibility and variety of these handy tools.
