MORETON BAY QLD
But before all that, we have to talk about choosing the right form factor of clotheslines in your Moreton Bay home, determine proper sizing, and find out the features that you might want to consider.
There are plenty of clothesline styles to choose from and each design is specifically engineered to perfectly fit into certain installation and usage scenarios.
Proper sizing plays a significant role in your clothesline buying process so we will discuss both first right after the short jump!
Clothesline Types
Here at Lifestyle Clotheslines, we only carry a few clothesline types that we think covers pretty much the majority of clothesline buyers' needs in Moreton Bay. There's fold-down, retractable, folding rotary hoist, standard rotary hoist, ceiling airer, and portable.
-
Fold-downs and Retractables - We like to think that these two are the "Miss Congenialities" of the airer world because both come in a variety of capacities and dimensions to match just about any home size and demands, both designs can also be installed on walls or easily converted to freestanding units by using ground mount kits; fold-downs are great for tight spaces while retractables excel in discreetness.
-
Standard and Folding Rotary Hoists - The undisputed kings of clotheslines, standard and folding rotary hoists boast some of the highest capacities to handle any job that you can throw at them, the top assemblies rotate and can be lifted to catch some breeze for very fast drying times. The rotating frame also makes it easy to hang clothes so you don't have to walk from one end of the line to the other, the foldable version can be taken off the ground socket and stowed away--perfect for those who have small yards because these things consume a ton of space!
-
Ceiling and Portable airers - The perfect space-saving clotheslines for cozy homes like studios, apartments, townhouses and even condominiums, ceiling mounted clotheslines utilise unused overhead space indoors or outdoors while portable airers allow you to dry clothes anywhere you wish--perfect if it's rainy outside, allows you to dry clothes in the garage or a hallway without much fuss.
Proper Sizing Clotheslines in Moreton Bay
Since Moreton Bay QLD is situated right by the Pacific (not to mention, littered with lakes allover) humidity levels can be on the higher end of the scale but thanks to the temperate oceanic climate, the warmth lasts for most of the year so properly sizing your clothesline is a must to ensure that you get consistent results all the time without sacrificing capacity.
We normally recommend allocating at least 11 to 13 metres of drying line space per person in a given household, multiply that by the number of users in your home (regardless if adult or children) and you have a rough estimate of the line space you will need in a clothesline.
If you live alone, it is best to choose a clothesline that has 13 metres of total cord length at the minimum because you need to take into account your beddings, curtains or rugs that need cleaning every now and then.
That may come as a surprise to you but those with families often opt for clotheslines that have 30+ metres of line space on average and a small airer simply does not have enough real estate to dry such large items.
- Built in line tensioning system to keep lines taught and keep your airer performing at its best.
- Choose levers over knobs if you have problems with hand dexterity/mobility issues.
- Full stainless steel/aluminium construction if you live by the sea, keeps corrosion at bay and lasts for a very long time.
- Galvanised steel lines proven to survive the test of time, rarely needs retightening and sags less than typical polycords that come with most clotheslines
- Clothesline covers to protect your clothes from dust, rain, and other elements without you having to keep an eye on them all the time.
