Product Information
Full details
The Orwell Clothes Line is for anyone seeking a durable and reliable solution for drying laundry outdoors. Its key benefit is superior strength and weather resistance, ensuring your clothes dry safely without the line sagging or breaking. A potential caveat is its standard 25-meter length, which may require joining for larger drying spaces. This clothes line features a 3.5mm UV-stabilized PVC coating over a steel wire core, offering an anti-slip surface and excellent resistance to rust and environmental damage. It boasts a breaking strain of 60kgs and enhanced flexibility for ease of use.

Troubleshooting
Clothes sliding down the line.
Ensure the line is taut. The anti-slip coating should provide sufficient grip; if slippage persists, check for excessive moisture or soap residue on the clothes.
Line sagging significantly under load.
Verify that the anchor points are secure and the line is properly tensioned. If the load is consistently heavy, consider adding a mid-line support or ensuring the line is installed with adequate tension.
Visible rust marks.
While the coating is designed to prevent rust, inspect the line carefully. Minor surface rust may appear if the coating is compromised; clean gently with a soft cloth. Significant rust indicates potential damage to the coating and may require replacement.
