FAQs
Is this clothes line suitable for indoor use?
Yes, it can be used indoors provided you have secure anchor points, though it is specifically optimized for outdoor durability.
Can I cut the rope to a shorter length?
Yes, you can cut the 20-metre length to fit your specific space; however, it is recommended to heat-seal the cut ends with a lighter to prevent fraying.
Will the green color fade in the sun?
Polypropylene is generally resistant to UV damage, though prolonged, direct exposure over many years may cause slight color fading.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
No, the product consists of the rope only, allowing you to choose the specific hooks or fixings that suit your installation surface.
Is it safe to leave outside all year round?
Yes, the material is designed to be weather-resistant, though removing it during severe storms can help extend its overall lifespan.
Troubleshooting
The line sags when heavy wet clothes are hung.
Tighten the anchor point knots or use a tensioner accessory to remove slack.
The rope is slippery when wet.
Ensure knots are tied securely before hanging laundry and use quality pegs for extra grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, secure the line between two sturdy fixed points, such as heavy-duty hooks, wooden posts, or brackets. Since polypropylene can stretch slightly under heavy weight, ensure you account for this during the initial setup by pulling the line as tight as possible. To maintain the rope's integrity, store it during extreme winter months if not in use and periodically check the anchor points for rust or wear. If the line accumulates garden grime, a simple wash with mild soapy water will keep it clean and prevent staining on your garments.
