Key Features

Overview

The Austral Retractaway 50 Plus Clothesline is a durable retracting clothesline that features a patented line tensioning system with a maximum line extension of 10m.

The 5 PVC coated lines easily retract away into the cabinet and won't mark or snag clothes.

Posts can be installed directly into the ground (standard post) or they can be bolted down on top of existing concrete (plated post option) for better installation possibilities with the Austral Retractaway 50 Plus.

Installation Note: If you require drilling into existing concrete for your clothesline installation please contact us on 1300 798 779 to discuss, as there is additional labour and charges.

      Not completely happy for the price

      Im not sold on it. I've had bunnings ones in the past but I needed one that had a longer span which was hard to find so chose this one. The line length, the way it retracts & uneven lines (tension) is not so good for its price.

      I recommend this product

      Retractable 50 monument

      I’ve just installed a post for one end of the clothesline, but during the measuring up process, we noticed that the barrel has all the wires pretty much punched up everywhere in there. I really don’t know how I am going to get them to be equal length’s apart in the barrel . other styles I have seen have some kind of guide, but this one appears to have nothing but a barrel and cables wrapped around it so far I’m pretty disappointed and I haven’t even installed it yet.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Yes, the Retractaway 50 Plus has a minimum extension of just 2m. This means you can pull the lines out from the cabinet any distance from 2m up to 10m and the lines can be locked.   
      Yes, you can add 1 or 2 Post Kits to your order if you don’t have a wall available.
      A Plated Post Kit allows you to bolt the post down onto an existing concrete area rather than core drilling or jack hammering holes into the concrete. The post has a metal plate welded on the bottom with holes for dyna-bolting down onto the concrete. 
      Yes you can but you will just need to make sure the mounting holes at the back of the cabinet align with the structural supports in the wall. If not then a Post Kit is recommended with the clothesline and install it freestanding in front of the wall.
      A general rule of thumb is to install the clothesline so that the lines are approx. 50mm above the users head height. An average height is approx. 1800mm but you can adjust this to suit your requirements.
