Product Information

Full details

The Taylor & Brown 30 Metre Retractable Reel Clothes Line is ideal for households needing ample drying space without a permanent fixture. Its key benefit is the dual 15m lines offering a total of 30m of retractable drying capacity, neatly storing away when not in use. A minor caveat is that the mounting hardware is not always included, requiring a separate purchase for installation. This durable, weather-resistant line maximizes drying efficiency and keeps outdoor or utility spaces clutter-free.

FAQs

What is the total drying length available?

The Taylor & Brown Retractable Clothes Line features two independent lines, each extending up to 15 meters, providing a total of 30 meters of drying space.

Is this clothes line suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is crafted from durable, weather-resistant materials designed to withstand outdoor elements.

Do I need to purchase mounting hardware separately?

The product description indicates easy installation, but mounting hardware such as screws and wall plugs may not always be included and might need to be purchased separately depending on your wall type.

How do I clean the clothes line?

You can wipe the casing and lines with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Ensure the lines are dry before retracting if they have been exposed to moisture.

Can I use just one line if I don't need the full 30 meters?

Yes, you can choose to extend and use one or both lines independently, depending on your drying needs and available space.

What is the maximum weight each line can hold?

While a specific weight limit is not provided, the product is designed for typical laundry loads. Avoid overloading with excessively heavy wet items to prevent sagging.

How does the retraction mechanism work?

The lines extend manually. Once you are finished drying, you simply pull the lines back towards the unit, and they retract smoothly into the casing.

Troubleshooting

Lines will not extend or retract smoothly

Check for any obstructions or kinks in the lines. Ensure the unit is mounted securely and level. Gently assist the lines if they feel stiff, and ensure they are fully dry before retracting.

Unit feels loose on the wall

Check the mounting screws and tighten them. If wall anchors are used, they may need to be replaced if damaged or worn.

Lines sag significantly when loaded

Ensure the lines are extended to their maximum tautness. Avoid overloading the lines with excessively heavy items. For very large loads, consider using the lines for lighter items and separate drying methods for heavier garments.

Corrosion or rust spots

While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to harsh weather without maintenance can cause minor surface rust. Clean with a mild abrasive and apply a protective coating if necessary. Ensure the unit is dry before retracting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a significant total drying length of 30 meters.
  • Space-saving design retracts neatly when not in use.
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor conditions.
  • Double line system allows for larger loads or faster drying.
  • Easy to install and operate.

Cons

  • Mounting hardware may need to be purchased separately.
  • Requires sturdy wall fixings for secure installation.
  • Extended lines can sag slightly under very heavy loads.
  • Retracted lines can sometimes be stiff if not used regularly.
  • Maximum length might be challenging to reach in very confined spaces without obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall space on your balcony, patio, or utility room that can support the weight of the clothes line, especially when loaded with wet laundry. Ensure there is enough space to extend the lines fully.
  2. Markings: Hold the unit against the wall and mark the drilling points for the mounting brackets. Ensure the unit is level.
  3. Drill Holes: Drill the appropriate holes for your wall type (e.g., masonry, wood). Insert wall plugs if necessary.
  4. Mount Unit: Securely attach the clothes line unit to the wall using appropriate screws (not always included). Ensure it is firmly fixed.
  5. Attach Catch: On the opposite wall or surface, fix the line catch at a height that allows the lines to be taut when extended.

Compatibility:

This unit is designed for wall-mounting and is compatible with most standard wall surfaces (brick, concrete, wood). It requires two mounting points at a suitable distance apart to achieve maximum line tension.

Care:

  • Wipe the casing and lines periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
  • Ensure the lines are fully retracted when not in use to protect them from the elements and prevent accidental snagging.
  • Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight.
  • Allow lines to dry completely before retracting if used in damp conditions to prevent mildew.
