So, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but I am quite thrilled with my new clothesline. It’s one of those umbrella-shaped clotheslines that looks like it’s from outer space… But – WOW- does it do the job well!
1. It holds 6 loads of laundry. I can wash all of our clothes on laundry day and hang everything. Hello energy savings and a reduced electric bill!
2. It rotates. I can stand in one place and access every single line without straining a bit.
3. It only needs a small patch of sun. We didn’t want a long stretch of clothesline. This design is compact enough for an urban backyard.
4. It closes up. Were we to throw a lovely garden party, I could ask my dear husband to collapse the laundry umbrella, so that it looks basically like a post. Or, even better, he could take it out of the hole entirely and put it in the garage. Nice.
Where can I find one?!
I bought mine at Amazon. The image links to the specific model. If you search on Amazon for umbrella clotheslines, you’ll find some less expensive options. We decided to go for this one because it seemed to be made of heavy duty materials, and we plan to use it for a long time!
I’m getting one! I can’t wait

I purchased my clothesline from this company – http://www.breezedryer.com. They offer some great clothes drying solutions. I live in a development that frowns on line drying. The umbrella clothesline we bought can be taken out of the ground when not in use which is nice. But it folds down when I am finished, like a garden umbrella and I pop the cover on it and it blends right in. Plus remember you get what you pay for . . . buying on the cheap side will result in having to just replace it in a few years. This company offers a 10 year warranty . . the product is made by an Australian company. In Australia everyone line dries their clothes
