Cons
On the downside, not everyone has a large yard conducive to constructing a clothesline. Small or nonexistent yards can make it difficult to put up a clothesline capable of drying your clothing. In addition, many homes are built in areas that have very restrictive building codes. This means the color of your home, clothesline, and even the state of your garage (open or closed) is strictly regulated.
Solution
The good news is even if you live where there is no yard at all or the most restrictive codes you can employ one of the many urban clotheslines on the market. These products offer you the option of having a retractable clothesline, indoor clothesline or even ceiling mounted dryers.
Conclusion
There are many good reasons to air dry your clothing. You will save money on energy bills, have fresh smelling clothes and they will last longer to boot! Check out the many options available from Hills clotheslines which is a leading retailer of all kinds of urban clotheslines. They offer great warranties and will ship units in the USA and Canada.

Tips on Drying Your Clothes and Laundry Outside
It seems the clothes line has almost become extinct, which is sad really. Drying your clothes out of doors gives them a fresh scent that only nature can provide while potentially saving you a ton of money on energy bills. If you have been searching for areas you can cut expenses on it may be time to revisit the classic clothes line.
Many people are loathe to put up a clothesline for fear it will drop property values or look tacky. This is a valid concern especially if you live in an area controlled by a homeowners association. Thankfully, someone thought of these issues and others when they created quality retractable clotheslines.
A retractable clothes line is only seen while it is in use and easily stores away the rest of the time. These are also handy for small laundry room situations. These can be single or multiple line clotheslines and can be used with a pole kit or without.
A nice example of retractable clotheslines for the medium to large family is the Hills Sietro 6:
- Six individual lines
- Store away cabinet
- Individual line tensioning
- Wide line spacing
- Useable between walls, wall – post or post-post
- Rust resistant
- PVC coated lines
- Handles all sheet sizes
The Hills Sietro 6 clothes line is easily useable by the elderly and is available in the USA or Canada. Do not let limited space or aesthetics keep you from the joy of hanging your clothing on a clothesline. You can save money on your energy bills, have fresh smelling clothes and do your part to help the environment. Not a bad combination for a simple idea.
