FAQs
How much laundry can this rack hold?
It provides 18 metres of drying length, which is sufficient for a full average-sized household laundry load.
Can I leave this outside in the rain?
While it is suitable for outdoor use, it is recommended to bring the rack inside during rain to prevent surface damage and keep your laundry dry.
Does the rack require assembly?
No, the rack arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use out of the box.
What is the folded thickness of the rack?
The rack folds into a very slim profile, typically only a few centimeters thick, making it ideal for storage in narrow gaps.
Can this hold heavy items like wet duvets?
Yes, it is designed for stability, but ensure the weight is centered on the frame to prevent the rack from becoming unbalanced.
Troubleshooting
Rack feels wobbly when fully loaded
Ensure all legs are fully extended and placed on a completely flat, level surface.
Difficulty folding the unit
Check that the hinges are clear of debris and that no clothing items or strings are caught in the folding mechanism.
Rack tips over outdoors
Position the rack perpendicular to the wind direction and ensure weight is distributed evenly across all drying rails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the rack is straightforward; simply pull the legs out until they lock into position and unfold the drying wings. To fold, reverse the process by releasing the locking mechanism and pressing the frame together. To ensure longevity, always wipe the rack down with a damp cloth if it has been used outdoors to remove dust, pollen, or environmental grime. If used in a high-humidity environment like a bathroom, ensure the rack is completely dry before folding it for storage to prevent any potential oxidation. Store in a dry area when not in use to protect the finish.
