Heavy Duty Retractable Clothesline

Retractable clotheslines have quickly become a staple in modern Australian homes, offering a practical and stylish way to maximise drying space without sacrificing your living area. 

Whether you're working with tight balconies, a spacious backyard, or an indoor laundry room, these clever systems provide enough space to handle your daily drying needs with ease.

When it comes to robust performance and lasting quality, a heavy duty retractable clothesline is the ultimate solution. 

Designed to support heavier items and larger laundry loads, these clotheslines are built to last, providing reliability and strength even with frequent use. 

For large families, laundry enthusiasts, or anyone who values efficiency and order, a heavy duty unit is an excellent choice.

Retractable Clothesline Models Designed for YOU

A retractable clothesline operates by pulling lines out from a mounted cabinet or housing, then retracting them neatly back when not in use. 

This design helps save space while maintaining functionality. 

From laundry rooms to patios and balconies, these systems adapt to a range of settings, making them a versatile and space-saving drying solution.

High quality retractable clotheslines often include multiple lines—with popular models offering five retractable lines for increased capacity. 

This allows for simultaneous drying of large and small items, from delicate garments to super king sheets. 

Once you're done drying, the lines neatly retract into the clothesline cabinet, keeping your area clutter-free.

Easily Converts to a Free Standing Unit

For those who need maximum placement flexibility, a free standing unit with a post kit and ground socket is the answer. 

These setups provide flexible installation options and can be adjusted for different terrain or locations. 

Use them in backyards, balconies, or even inside garages for a mobile drying solution that suits your lifestyle.

The freestanding installation also makes it easier to achieve optimal sun exposure for faster drying, no matter where you position it.

Flexible Installation Options With Post Kit

For homes without a suitable wall for mounting, a post kit offers a simple and effective installation option. 

A post to post setup allows you to install a retractable clothesline anywhere in your yard, regardless of wall availability. 

These kits are ideal for lawns, gardens, or paved areas where a freestanding installation is preferred.

The post simply slots into the ground socket, making the installation quick and secure. 

For permanent setups, the clothesline cabinet post can also be concreted into place, offering a sturdy base for years of reliable use.

Regain Yard Space with Ground Socket

The ground socket is key to any freestanding clothesline setup, your retractable clothesline doesn't have to be permanently fixed.

It allows the post kit to be installed securely into the ground, offering support and stability. 

Most ground sockets from our popular brands like Hills and Austral come with a protective cap, enabling you to remove the post when not in use—ideal for maintaining a tidy lawn or garden.

So, you no longer need to sacrifice drying space nor outdoor spaces, the best of both worlds!

Mount Bar = Rock Solid Stability

The mount bar plays a crucial role in supporting the unit, providing a secure anchor for wall-mounted clotheslines. 

It ensures a level and stable attachment, whether installed on a brick wall, timber fence, or other surfaces. 

High-quality brands offer corrosion-resistant bars and brackets, contributing to the overall durability of your clothesline.

In some models, the mount bar is adjustable or compatible with additional kits, allowing you to customise the setup for your specific outdoor or indoor space.

Loads of Drying Space

One of the main benefits of a heavy duty retractable clothesline is the generous drying space it provides. 

Depending on the model, total line space can exceed 40 metres—plenty of room for a full family load. 

This makes them suitable for large Aussie homes, saving time and energy compared to indoor drying racks or electric dryers.

The ability to extend or retract the lines gives you flexibility, so you only use the space when you need it. 

Whether it’s a few towels or a week’s worth of laundry, you’ll have enough drying space to get the job done efficiently.

Line Space Galore

A five-line retractable unit gives you enough room to dry heavier items like jeans and bedding, while still leaving space for smaller garments. 

If you have a large family or simply prefer drying laundry in fewer loads, a high-capacity retractable clothesline is the perfect drying solution.

Hills Cordomatic Retractable Clothesline

The Hills Cordomatic Retractable Clothesline is a top-tier option, known for its durability and ease of use. 

Its sleek design and compact form make it ideal for limited outdoor space or indoor areas. 

Despite its small footprint, the Cordomatic provides ample drying capacity, with retractable lines that extend smoothly and retract without tangling.

It's also a great choice for renters or those seeking temporary installations, as it can be mounted and removed with minimal impact on walls or surfaces.

Retractable Clotheslines = Uncluttered Laundry Room

A retractable clothesline in the laundry room is a practical way to keep your indoor drying neat and organised. 

Wall-mounted units work particularly well in modern homes, where space is often limited. When not in use, the lines tuck away neatly, allowing you to move freely around the room.

This setup is also perfect for apartments, where indoor use is often the only option. 

Retractable models blend seamlessly with interiors, supporting your laundry routine while maintaining the aesthetics of your living area.

Installation Options

There are many installation options available to match different needs. Choose from:

- Wall mounting onto brick, timber, or rendered walls.

- Freestanding post-to-post setups for open areas.

- Wall-to-post setup for tricky situations

- Ground socket installations for removability and clean storage.

Most units come with detailed guides, and our team is always available to help you through the process.

For permanent setups, installation on a concrete surface ensures lasting stability and functionality.

Drying Laundry Made Easy and Economical

Drying your laundry outdoors with a retractable clothesline is not only cost-effective but also eco-friendly. 

Sunlight naturally sanitises fabrics while fresh air leaves them smelling clean and crisp. 

For those rainy days or colder months, indoor retractable units ensure you can continue drying without interruption.

Their sleek design and efficient operation make them a favourite for homeowners who want form and function in equal measure.

Zero Sacrifices Even With Indoor Use

Although built for outdoor spaces, many heavy duty retractable clotheslines are equally suited for indoor use. 

Install one in your laundry room, garage, or even on a covered balcony to enjoy the same benefits year-round. 

It’s a smart way to meet your drying needs without cluttering your living area.

Retractable units are an excellent option for households that want flexibility, style, and convenience all in one package. 

Whether wall-mounted or freestanding, they are a functional and reliable upgrade to any home’s laundry setup.
