Reply #5: I had a clothesline once

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

And my neighbor came over and asked if they could hang things on it too!

No covenants or anything. But I discovered that everything smells great and dries fast if you have low humidity.

Clothespins get rusty and can transfer rust stains and you need a lot more than you think. Wind can take all your stuff and drag it in the yard by an end. You have to drape some of the fabric over the line sometimes to be secure and that makes wierd dents. Line drying can lead to more ironing.

Jeans dry like cardboard.

But overall, great! I agree with the person who said get the umbrella type line. I had 2 poles sunk in concrete with the line and really, most of the time I used the dryer.
