Everyone should have one of these. It comes out of the ground for easy storeage. Holds lots of clothes. Helps save energy. Nothing smells like fresh line dried clothes.
Best of all I've had in my entire life. (I'm 53) March 23, 2008

As an adult living in warm Orange County, Sunny Southern California, I like to dry my laundry outdoors. We are a family of five, and this has alot of room for my needs. I leave mine up year-round. I like this design better than the umbrella style. It is more usefull with space for drying clothes. Thank you for a wonderful, useful, needed product.
Great product. March 26, 2008

The clothesline was easy to install. It really does hold alot of clothes. The rotation of the line is very smooth. I am enjoying the smell of air dried laundry, just like when I was a little girl.

I ordered this clothesline for my suburban backyard, largely to combat high electric bills from using the dryer. (It adds up quickly for a family.) It arrived in good condition. Installation consisted of: dig a hole 20 inches deep by 8 inches wide, add some stones to the bottom of the hole, mix a bag of concrete (50 pound bag is about right; 80 pound will give you some left overs), put 6 inches of concrete in hole, set plastic sleeve in ground, fill rest of hole with concrete, insert bottom pole section and make it plumb (straight; use a level), remove pole and drive a stick or dowel through the sleeve and into the ground (for drainage), then let the concrete dry according to instructions. The next day, insert the bottom pole section then add the top section and (GENTLY, to avoid damage to the lines) open it up.
The open/close action on the unit is very easy, but you have to watch out that the lines are on the proper side of the pole. Mine always gets a bit tangled, requiring a couple of attempts before everything is undone. One product improvement would be to reduce the number of surfaces (hinges/pivots) that the lines can catch on.
Setting the clothesline in the ground according to the instructions will place the lines about 73 inches (183 cm) off the ground. This is high enough for a good sized bath towel to clear the ground below. The overall height (top of the center pole) is about 82 inches. If you're working within a POA/HOA height restriction, you could always remove a bit from the bottom of the lower section using a hacksaw.
How well does it work? Great! Clothes get dry in a hurry here in the Texas sun. The lines have stretched a bit with the first few uses, but it's easy to tighten them. The instructions indicate they'll quit stretching after a few uses. The instructions indicate that the unit should be loaded evenly, which is easily done by simply rotating the upper section as you hang the clothes.
Any complaints? One, it's easy to tangle the lines or catch them on hinges when opening/closing the unit. Two, the steel main post comes with a thin coating of grease that should be removed before use. Third, the item is made in China.

You get that nice clothesline dried feeling and save lots of energy too. Fairly easy to install; yes use concrete to install the tube in the ground. Putting up the actual lines takes a little practice to get all the lines on the correct side of the support tube but worth it. It's nice to be able to take down and have full use of the yard.
