Customer Reviews
Great for Pool Area!
I bought and installed two of these on our covered deck for pool use. Each line comfortably holds two towels and assorted swim wear. Earlier reviews stated the line sags if the installed area is less than 8 feet. However, I discovered this thing incorporates a locking feature so that the line stays taught should you use less than the full length. You can even pull on the line to reduce the slack even further and then lock it down. Stays tight! However, the 'Stainless steel' construction is misleading. The 'hooking' mechanism and the 'retainer' are both plastic. I see this lasting about 2-3 years! we'll see. This is the only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5! If it should break however, marine grade stainless steel replacement parts can be found at any marine supply. They use this same exact hook/retainer system on boats.
Not all metal
I bought this since it was suposed to be metal... the shell is indeed metal but the back components are silver plastic as well as the connecting pieces.
Have realistic expectations
It took me about 10 minutes to break both clotheslines that I bought. My fault for being too curious and getting it tangled. The line is heavy string weight and will support socks and undies well. It bowed under the weight of towels, partly because I installed it with only seven foot of expansion. I had visions of drying a load of laundry but eight foot isn't a lot of space and if I had be more realistic I would have known this is mostly good for a limited number of items at once. All in all it is a good product for the price; just don't expect to use it as your main source for laundry drying.
