Where can I buy a strong big hanging clothes drier like a sock drier but bigger?

[mays]

Delurking for my 1st ever post.

I did have one from Lakeland, it was a rectangle with 20 hanging pegs in 4 rows. I could hang 16 items of childrens clothes like trousers and tops using the pegs in pairs so there were 8 items in each row. It cost about £16. It was great while it lasted (about 4 years) but now its broken. I have 3 dc, (two in washable nappies) and I desperately need a replacement (s). Maybe about 3 of something similar but Lakeland don't sell them anymore.

I don't want anything cheap and plasticy as they don't last 5 minutes. It has to be a hanging thing as I hang things over our stair well from a long bar. I'm not after one of those long several bar hangers that you winch up and down.

Any ideas?

Do you mean this sort of thing ?

congratulations on your first post

i have an octopus thing from Ikea, size of a butternut squash with 8 legs each with 2 pegs on. It has been very sturdy and only a £5 or so.

Mines been going for years now.

I sent back my Lakeland one as it kept falling apart!
I now have Ikea ones and 3 Poundland ones. All are strong enough to hang clothes across 2 pegs (and I can grab them fast from the line when it starts to rain!)
Honestly, Poundland is your friend :). Or Wilkinson if that's nearer.

Thanks, yes like that Jareth but much stronger and if possible bigger. I've had lots of the wilco/poundland types and they just fall apart. I've not tried the ikea ones and we don't have one near here. I think what I want is something a bit more indestructable. Maybe made of metal. I think the plastic ones degrade in the sun as they get left out all day sometimes.

I love my IKEA octopus, but within a couple of months around 6 of the pegs don't work.

Maybe the ideal thing doesn't exist? I wondered what happens in bigger laundries? Tumble driers? Gap in the market for someone.

I have 2 of these from matalan www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online/Laundry-and-Cleaning/32-Peg-Airer/49713&resultsPerPage=100&attrList=Dept,brand

Ok JsOtherHalf, thank you, its got a good review. I'll get one and try it. Will report back. Futher heavy duty suggestings welcome.

You liked your lakeland one ??? I still have mine but much prefer the ones from Ikea, although they are a pain when the clips stop working. I would just get the cheap ikea ones and replace as needed.

The matalan comes with fixings to attach it to the central pole of a rotary dryer too. I hook them through these on my line www.lakeland.co.uk/8829/12-Hook-ups

I like the lakeland one homeaway because I can use the double pegs in rows to hang 16 nappies, 2 pegs each. You cant do that with an ikea octopus. I like the clothes suspended between 2 pegs. I've seen an octopus in a local garden, its not the right size or shape. I'm drying up to 60 nappies a week. The matalan one has just arrived. So far I like it, its the right shape and looks strong. I'd still like something else tho.

The hook ups look good thanks jsotherhalf

Probably not at all the sort of thing you are after but I just bought THIS - (although I actaully got mine for £14.99 from Lidl!
I've found it great so far! holds 2 loads of (adult sized clothes) washing so would probably fit 3 loads if it was just kids stuff.
I put it out in the garden or leave it in the hallway/spare room if its not outdoor drying weather!
Folds away flat so I keep it in the understairs cupboard or spare bedroom wardrobe when I'm not using it!
My only issue is that my puppy has taken a huge dislike to the wheels on it for some strange reason and barks like mad whenever I try and wheel it around!

If you live in Edinburgh you probable have one of these,

Marvellous things, if you put wet jeans on them, they are dry in a couple of hours, no need for tumble driers.

Sorry, it needs to be a hanging from the ceiling thing. (I cant have airers stood about) and not one of the long bar pulley things. Matalan looking good so far.
