I've just found the most amazing space-saving outdoor washing line thingy

[Thurlow]

This could win an award for dullest thread of the year BUT I had to come on and rave. We haven't got room for a proper rotary airer and haven't got walls/fence panels to hang a decent washing line on. I've been dragging the indoor airer outside all the time, which is an arse - but I've just bought this for £15 in Argos, it's a foldable, portable outdoor rotary airer.

Small things in life obviously please me, but this is amazing. A full washing machine and it's barely filled half the airer! And when the washing is dry it's just going to fold into a little bag that can go in the cupboard.

I'm never excited about laundry. I am today

English, each of the legs needs to unclick from the circle of plastic it's held in, so prop it up and pull each leg out individually - does that make any sense?

Thanks I'll give that a try

Don't forget to cut the plastic ties holding it together too

Hehe Zoe I had at least remembered to do that! :)

Managed to get it up- not sure how exactly, lots of trying and eventually it suddenly did- hopefully it will be easier next time because it really is very good for drying on

Don't keep telling me that - I want one! (none for miles around)

How stable is it? About to move to an apartment in Paris with no garden but huge flat roof area where could possibly use this. However no use if likely to be gone in a puff of wind.

Hmm, mine is pegged imto the grass so very sturdy but not sure how sturdy it would be without the pegs.

Mine hasn't been pegged so far. Don't think it would survive a high wind, but in normal use it's pretty sturdy - the legs come out a long way.
