very happy with Austral Retractaway
I did a lot of research here, having a need to convince my wife it was a practical alternative to a Hills retract a line, which we had but due to alterations it did not fit the garden. It was easy to fit I had posts welded up as it had to fit between them. A few concrete screws later and it was firm. My wife liked the lines spacing so happy days!!
Lifestyle Clotheslines
Hi Richard, thank you for placing a review and we are glad that your wife like the clothesline which have a great line spacing.


Great little clothes line
It is fantastic. Had a handyman come and install. Had to tighten the lines (which was beyond easy) but after that, it works like a dream :). The team at lifestyle clotheslines were great too. The was a pretty big delay due to supply issues, but when I called them and spoke with them, they handled it with the professionalism many companies aspire to have. Thanks guys, 5/5 stars :)

Retractaway 40 Clothesline
This is a great Australian made quality product. Superior to the well known brand but fully imported clothesline.
