I currently have two retractable washing lines attached to either side of my house and the hooks for the other end are on the shed. We are moving house and new house is in a modern estate with flimsy fences and I'm not sure what I'd attach the washing line to if I were to put retractable lines on the house again. I've never had a rotary line and my memory of my mums from when I was growing up isn't a great one but that could have been because it would have been the cheapest one that Argos sold and very flimsy.
There is a rotary line on offer in Costco at the moment so if I go for rotary then I'll want to buy it sooner rather than later as I'll take advantage of the offer. The description says it has 60m of line, that's amazing, with my two lines at the moment I might have 12m if I'm lucky!
So I guess my questions are...
If you have a preference of line or rotary then what are your reasons?
If you have a line what is it attached to? I wouldn't want to leave a line permanently out so would want to have a retractable one with somewhere to hook it on to.
Do rotary lines have to stay out all of the time or is there a base which the line clips into and I could store the line in the shed if my dd's friends come to play?
I'm leaning more towards the rotary line at the moment but really need opinions please
Thanks
