Please help me find a large 4 fold indoor clothes airer

My old 4 fold indoor clothes airer is falling apart and I need to replace it but every one I can find is much smaller. Each panel on my old airer is 60cm wide but the biggest I can find online is 53cm wide. Most of them are only 50cm. Even some of my size 12 and the dc's age 13-14 clothes are wider than this. There is no chance my dh's size xxl clothes will fit without having to fold or scrunch them at the sides. Has anyone found a larger clothes airer?

What do you mean by 4 fold?

It's not what you're after necessarily but we have a Lakeland heated airer and it's amazing. We are a family of five and can fit a full load on it.

Hi JC12345. I have one of those but the bars are so close together so most items like trousers, hoodies and long sleeve t-shirts, plus any of dh's clothes are just too long to hang on there. The only things I can fit are short sleeved t-shirts, shorts and underwear. How do you arrange the clothes so they don't touch the clothes hanging on the bars underneath?

I also have a tower airer for smaller items although you can hang stuff on hangers off it too

I've got one the same as this (don't think it's the same brand) and I love it Blush
My rails are 69cm wide and nicely spaced.
I'd buy another if I had the space!
Oh it was a faff putting it together and it would benefit from superglue in the joins, but still totally worth it

Not the same as you’ve said your looking for, but this is really good, takes bulky items and can be easily taken in and outdoors while full

Thanks for all the suggestions Smile Those tower airers look promising.

Trousers get put on full width, then the legs folded up into themselves. Jumpers can go on full width, then arms folded over. We can get 3 7kg wash loads on at a time, easily. We just stack the clothes, then put the cover on.

All our weekly washing is being done today and it will all go on the airer.

We have one like dementedpixie's first link, with an extra rack flat across the top and sticking out on one side. I think it's great, stuff dries really well on it and it holds significantly more than a 4-fold, but it's a tad too narrow for towels.
