I was using a clothes line up to 9 years ago when I moved. There are a pair of steel "T" frames in the back yard of the new house and I've already purchased laundry line to thread between them.
Frankly, I miss the smell and stiffness of towels dried in the sun - also line-dried bedding. Since I kept all my line accoutrements (cloths pins, pin bag, laundry tray on wheels), it should just take me a few minutes to get back into the swing of it. | ||

I have one.....
.....of these and LOVE it - allows me to hang out 3-4 loads of washing in a small space. Very well made - in Latvia! Brabantia is the brand name. It even comes with a cover to keep it clean when folded.

 I have a vintage retractable clothes line that I use almost daily (as conditions permit) for bed linens and sometimes for shirts and shorts. I like the ability to make it disappear when entertaining outdoors or on days when the gardener comes. New versions of this type of clothes line are available, but the cords they use aren't as thick as the vintage ones. | ||

Nearly Daily,*
For most of my adult life, sometimes even at least the sheets in winter because of the smell. With practice and experience, you'll come to appreciate differences in textile textures produced by wind, sun, humidity. For example, a warm, windy, humid day makes the towels dryer-like; calm hot days make the white T-shirts starched and pressed.
For Easy Assembly: screw in hooks and green wire line from Valu, takes only minutes. The green wire is less vista-obstrusive than thick white rope, and you can leave it up. * since retiring; before the, as the spirit moved me.

Duh! before "THAT" ;'D
Classic "Mundee Warshday," from the other day. My car mechanic's load: now, he's hooked, can't believe the finish and the scent. When you make a cool pile of the clothes as they come off the line--already organized and so easy to fold-- all long and flat, it looks impressive enough to wrap in brown butcher paper and pretend you're running a laundry.

 It's comforting to know people still value their clotheslines, sort of like people canning fruits and vegetables or making their own jam. My mom had a huge line and hung up everything even though she had a very early Apex dryer (you had to light the pilot every time you used it, not with a match but with an automotive spark plug). And mickeyd...if I had a view like that I'd be hanging stuff on the line all the time. Very nice!
PS...Clotheslines are verboten where I live but what the HOA can't see won't hurt them. Even a thick king comforter dries fast when it's 120+ degrees outside. | ||

Yes
I dry well into the winter months, and even then on better days.
I especially do my bedding on the line. I prefer the fresh smell of line drying, and the ability to "Air Out" the comforters and sheets. My dress shirts do very well on the line, with fewer wrinkles and less fuss when placing on hangers. I don't really like my towels on the line, but will dry them, but usually toss in the dryer for a few minutes when I bring them in to soften them up a bit. Not to say, I don't still use my dryer. but short answer, Yes! I still line dry. I can't find the clothes line that my dad used to use when setting up lines for my mother. It was an aircraft coiled steel. What I have found that works Pretty well now is the nylon clothes line. I have to replace it about every two or so years, but it isn't that expensive. What I do when stringing the nylon line/rope. I wet the line so that it stretches. Then string it up as taunt as I can pull it. When it dries it is very tight and my heavy items don't sag. I have turn buckles on the end that can still be used to tighten the line as it ages and stretches. Remember: It's our right to dry. | ||

Newton guarding the wash
I use mine regularly - with no worries of pilfering by the neighbors with my ever diligent guard-Pug.
This was an especially windy day a few weeks ago - he hangs out there under the flapping laundry all day and usually won't come in until the wash does.

 In recent years, I've dried almost everything outside in summer, using a couple of clothes lines attached between the place I live and a shed. I've dried a fair amount in spring and fall, although spring and fall are less reliable. (It may only dry to "nearly dry", and need additional time hanging up inside.)
I like the outdoor scent like others here, and I even purposely use unscented detergent for at least some loads, such as sheets.
At one time, I dried year round, although in winter it was inside, using wood racks. At that time I'd dry outside simply by moving a wood rack outside. But air drying inside doesn't work well where I currently live.

A subject I can give a view on at last!
Perfect as the subject of my first post. Hello everyone!
On this side of the pond, certainly in the warmer months, lines are still the norm as has been said elsewhere in the thread. I have one, even though I currently live in an apartment with only a small balcony. I seldom visit a friend’s home without seeing a line full of laundry flapping in the breeze. Particularly as most of us currently have children or babies. I’d recommend one to anybody. My whites always shine from spring to autumn, stains I see discussed here in old posts (yellowing on sheets, nappies with bile stains) just melt away in very little sunlight. A hot day and a slower spin and nature does its best. Of course, I am aware of where I live and also have a dryer, but I much prefer drying outside. Even in winter, if it’s clear out, it goes on the line. Our relationship with dryers is an odd one. I think they occupy a very different position in the British psyche. They tend to almost be viewed as a slight indulgence or a guilty pleasure by some I think. Whether this relates to the cost of running the appliance or what I don’t know. I use mine gladly when needed, but I do have a hanging airer in the hall as well, so I suppose even I view the dryer as a backup. Coming here and learning how things differ elsewhere in the world has made me actually think about my own habits, which has been very interesting! Thrilled to have got involved at last 😊 | ||

Hi Woollyaxolotyl welcome! "a slight indulgence or a guilty pleasure" about sums up the Aussie attitude to dryers, too. I think it should be a crime to use a dryer on a sunny day. It will be when I become benevolent dictator. | ||

 When we bought our house in 1998 it had a cheap umbrella type clothesline in the yard. It worked great until a really strong gust of wind caught it one day and snapped the pole off at ground level.
My late friend, Leroy, sold and installed cow stalls made by Freudenthal Mfg. and I asked him if he would pick up a clothesline for us sometime when he had to pick up parts from them. He delivered it to us about 2 weeks later. We've had it about 14 years now. It is U-shaped, and can be easily moved around the yard. Ours is 20 feet long with 7 lines. They also come in 10ft - 12ft - 15ft versions.

On the subject of pegs...
Have you ever tried the pegs I’ve linked to, Rolls_rapide?
They are made in Italy on equipment which is now some 50 years old. Killer grip but not too bad for marks, never rust, fantastic. They are the only ones I’ve had that tolerate drying 3 floors up in an Atlantic wind! The vendor is lovely and she does so well out of them that she told me if the company ever ceased production, she’d buy out the equipment and bring it over. We’re about to move and will have a garden with a big rotary (not a Hills but maybe one day), so I’ll shortly be buying more. Thanks for the welcome, gizmo. Sounds like British and Australian drying habits are very similar- but taken as a whole I expect Australians get a few more good drying days, although not necessarily where you are by the sound of it! I do find it often doesn’t rain as much as you think it does when you need it to be dry. CLICK HERE TO GO TO woollyaxolotl's LINK | ||

We have an umbrella type clothesline that we used to use whenever the weather was good. But I have very severe allergies and we have LOTS of pollen producing trees all around us. I found that my allergies were aggravated by hanging the laundry out and my Allergy doctor suggested that I stop hanging the laundry out. I did and my allergies got better, so no can do anymore.
But I do miss the smell of laundry hung outside. When I was a small child, before we got our first dryer in 1955 we had a large, unfinished basement and there were clothslines strung up that Mom used when the weather wasn’t good enough for hanging the laundry outside. And I can still see my Mom throwing area rugs over the clothes line outside when she did Spring cleaning and beating the rugs with a broom and the dust flying from them. I wonder if anyone beats rugs anymore? Eddie | ||

I don't currently have one, but my last one was of the retractable type. The reel was mounted on the back of the house, and I had a hook on a tree in the backyard. I won't be able to do this in the future unless I install a pole, as the tree fell last year. Several of my older neighbors still use theirs when weather permits. | ||

Clothlines
When I retired in 1998 from the USN and was looking for a house to buy, one of my must have items was a pole to pole clothes line. Our realtor delivered in spades. Got the clothesline and a in ground pool to cool off in after hanging a load of laundry. I have to agree with the above post, I love the line dried smell and the electric bill savings. I hang just about everything.

Yesterdays wash on my pulley line . Does anyone else do this: When the clothes are dry and as I pull the clothes towards me on the pulley I have a cothes hanger in my hand at the ready.. I slip the clothes hangar into the shirt, while with the other hand remove the pegs. I can then carry all the shirts into the house already on their hangers and straight into the closet..

Bedsheets dry flatter with fewer wrinkles on an outdoor line. It also gives them a harder finish which is nice in bed.
When I moved in here I strung a double line from the side porch off the kitchen to a tall poll attached to the side of the garage - about 40 feet. I used vinyl coated 1/8"galvanized multi strand cable... over the years (20) the coating has cracked and come off in places, but so far no rust to stain the fabrics. At some point I'll replace the line, but it takes about 100 feet and is kind of a chore. The line is far enough above ground that if sheets wrap around the lines and I can't free them (happened yesterday when it was windy), I have to get a step ladder to free everything up. Usually just playing with the lines frees the sheets, though, and they only get wrapped up on very windy days. | ||

 Mother still uses hers. I don't have one here. For one, I sleep in daytime and the laundry would surely get rained on. For two, since Tony got hurt he couldn't carry the clothes basket down the deck stairs to the back yard to hang them up or get them in. I miss the smell of clothes dried on the line though, especially towels and sheets. I found these clothes pegs on Lehmans.com made of recycled agricultural wrap..no splinters. https://www.lehmans.com/product/grandmas-pegs-clothespins/

Forgot to mention: if you are planning a pulley equipped double clothesline sysem (the kind you can reel in from a porch or window), look for Wright Aluminum Company, Toronto, Canada pulleys. They are cast aluminum with no sharp edges.
When I first started my double pulley system 20 years ago, I got some Made in USA steel pulleys. Big mistake. They had sharp edges that easily could cut off a finger. The Wright ones don't have that issue. | ||

 No such at either of my houses. We had a line at the 1964 house ... as I was told, grandpa built it before construction of the house was finished. I got pretty quick at hanging. Never cared for the stiffness of line-dried items. Mom switched to using the dryer much more when she went to work after we kids reached jr high/freshman age. Their current house (built in '72, we moved there in the early 80s) has a line but she doesn't use it much nowadays. | ||

Tomturbomatic, I think you speak of the Sheila Maid. Still commonplace here and growing in popularity of late. We have a large one over a stairwell that does the lion’s share of our drying in bad weather. It pulls up out of sight and takes great advantage of rising warm air. Dries almost as fast as outdoors when the heating is running.

A fan in the room: Either a box fan, floor stand type or oscillating fan in the room where items are hung to dry will really speed things up when drying inside, considerably. I had an old attic fan that was converted to a box fan. When I would dry items on an outdoor line I would direct that fan towards the line and the items would be dry in no time. | ||

Concept of drying laundry by suspension from various devices hung on ceilings goes back ages.
In large estates or laundries all over Europe systems of large poles were suspended from stationary racks hung on ceilings. www.flickr.com/photos/cha... Sheila Maid, Clothesmaid and other brand names are just various versions of the Victorian, Edwardian or Lancaster racks and pulley systems that came out around middle to late 1800's. www.clothesmaid.com/... artofidentification.com/furnitur... These pulley clothes racks grew in popularity along with the rise of the middle class of Victorian GB. All those new terraced houses and so forth built for the middle class had to have some way for laundry to get done. So besides the copper you had these ceiling clothes racks. Besides taking advantage of fact hot air rises (so air at ceiling was warmer than lower down), these suspended contraptions allowed wash to be dried indoors when weather didn't permit it being done outside. Thus giving Her Indoors a bit more control over her wash days. Hanging the wash up and out of the way got rid of the various drying racks/clothes horses that would be scattered around a house or in front of a fire/AGA type range. In great estates or laundries a small coal or whatever fueled stove would provide heat in a room that through convection air currents helped dry things. It also dealt with the dampness that not only came with climate, but from drying things indoors to some extent. In the new middle class homes the various AGA type ranges (which were always fired up) provided heat, which is why the pulley racks were always located in kitchens. This provided several downsides. One, thanks to poor extraction of wringers/mangles it often meant dealing with wash dripping from ceiling onto things and those below until it dried sufficiently. Two, often whatever was drying was scented by whatever was being cooked in kitchen. If it was kippers then you had fish scented washing. *LOL* Between heat and damp from the coppers, wet laundry drying indoors, then steam from ironing as you can imagine many homes back then were not very pleasant on the several days it took to get washing done. All this piled onto naturally damp climate conditions. | ||

Laundress- interestingly the problem of fish scented laundry may have been largely resolved with the advent of the Aga type range in the early 20th century, perhaps increasing the popularity of this drying method.
Heat store appliances are still occasionally seen here and are still available new, having gained cult status among the middle class over time. We will soon inherit one of the Rayburn series in our new (old) property. We may use it a bit when we’re feeling brave. Most people will have some experience with one, however limited. Particularly in rural areas where solid fuel remained popular for longer. They are often fitted into the same space as a Victorian range, but operate very differently A quirk of the setup is that they lose heat precipitantly when the hot plate is uncovered for use, causing oven temperature to drop. One learns to apply the 80/20 rule to get past this- 80% oven, 20% hotplate. Most tasks such as frying and boiling are in fact performed on the floors of the roasting and simmering ovens respectively. The hotplate is reserved solely for getting things to boiling point and items requiring constant stirring like sauces. The ovens vent to the flue, meaning anything cooking in them does so completely odourlessly. This seems a great advantage (particularly on wash day) until a cake hastily whipped up 3 days ago reveals itself as a charred husk when the oven is next opened. A kitchen timer is absolutely essential! This post was last edited 06/02/2018 at 17:34 | ||

I love using the clothesline as well...but since my neighbors installed 3 bird feeders, we seem to have a plethora of the flying vermin, aka pigeons, that love to poop every where and I do mean every where. So I just use my dryers on low humidity days when i can here.
I will say one thing since my neighbors installed the bird equivalent of McDonalds...the hawks in my area have taken notice and its interesting when one is in the area how the other birds react. I have even seen a hawk take out a few pigeons and squirrels aka rodents with good PR... | ||

Here in Cincinnati I have 4 lines strung up between my house and garage (approx 100 ft) using cotton line rope. I have installled turnbuckles at each end to keep the tension on the lines. Between April - November there is almost always laundry hanging out! I love the fresh scent of my clothes dried outdoors. I also have a couple drying racks up by the patio for drying those “unmentionables”. 😎
