Brabantia - Topspinner - 40 Metres of Clothes Line - UV-Resistant & Non-Slip Lining - Smooth Turns - Umbrella System - Rotary Dryer with Ground Spike 45 mm - Metallic Grey - ø 271 cm

This washing line has made me very happy, makes me sound geeky but it's so sturdy, it holds loads of loads....at least 4 at a time. Towels hang down and don't touch the ground. It slides up easily, I bought the cover as well to keep it nice. The top spins in the wind. There is a good amount of space between each rail so plenty of air space to circulate around the clothes.Took weeks to arrive though but it was on a special offer so maybe that's why. Was worth the wait.

Title gives a bit more excitement than it actually should do, is it a really thick poled well finished rotary washing line - yes indeed.The girth of the thing was double that of the Addis one it replaced so silly me thought i'd use the existing ground spike to simply place this bad boy in and job done, its really thick so definitely needed the supplied spiked.I proceeded to follow the instructions cutting with a spade in the lawn but even then it felt like i was going to be hammering for about a week to get this thing in the ground, got there in the end (although as you can see i didn't have a sledgehammer which would probably make the job easier? not sure). I used my leaded hammer which was actually better than my metal hammer. Use a piece of wood otherwise the top of the metal spike will get absolutely battered trying to get this thing drilled home to the centre of the earty.Its a lot taller than my previous line which is good for me as i don't get a corner in the eye everytime i walk in the garden. This should last a very long time, my previous one lasted at least 10 years before snapping and this one appears far superior, i'll obviously update should this one rot out in the next 12 months, although i might actually invest in a cover for this to keep the line a bit more protected in the winter.Worth the money when on offer £73 was my price, not sure the RRP of over £100 is worth it though although for 60m of hanging space it probably is to some people.

We bought the 40 metre version and it arrived nicely packaged and is really well constructed and finished having some decent weight to it.I had quite a bit of trouble hammering in the ground spike even though the soil was heavily watered but got there in the end using a lump of wood and club hammer! I wasn’t able to get it perfectly straight though but it’s certainly good enough.It can be easily removed if required and the ground stake has a red cap stopper to keep the elements out, although we have a cover and prefer to leave it in place with that on other than when cutting the grass. We had no issues doing that as the stake rim sits well below the grass level.In use it says it’s a ‘top spinner’ but it does not rotate easily at all, even with a line full of sheets in a very decent stiff breeze ! It seems like it would need a gale force wind for it to ‘ spin like a charm ‘ as per the description! This is because the spin top section sits against the clip that holds it all up so there is a lot of friction there to stop the “spin”. Sure enough you can spin it round if you physically turn it when pegging the washing out , otherwise it just stays put! So that is disappointing.On the plus side it is very well constructed and is much easier to put up than are old one, and the main pole has a cap on the bottom to stop water ingress via the ground stake.The cord is well made and goes through the arms via protected eyelets , much better than clips like our old one. The 40 metre version we bought offers loads of room for a full washing load including sheets, towels, shirts etc.When folded down it has a handy rubber strap that keeps it neatly together.All in all very pleased with it apart from the lack of supposed tip spin. So loses a star.

What's to say? This is a quality product, well made and sturdy. Okay, I know that Brabantia is more expensive than other makes but, after my last rotary washing line was snapped off at ground level by particularly strong winds, I decided to get something a bit more robust. This fits the bill. The first thing I noticed when I unpacked it (apart from rejoicing in the fact that no assembly was needed) was that the main upright pole had a larger diameter than my last one, was taller and silvery chromed (or stainless steel, maybe). It comes with a plastic strap to keep the arms flush to the central pole when storing the washing line. It also comes with a heavy duty plastic ground holder: this was ideal because I already had a concrete base to put it in. I had a slight problem there because of the Brabantia's bigger diameter pole as I had put a metal spike in the hole to hold the thinner pole of my previous washing line. Fast forward through much swearing and the deployment of a jemmy and wrecking bar to get the spike out of the hole (rewarded by a gigantic slurp at the end as it came free) and I put the plastic thingy down the hole and put my new washing line in it. The bottom of the pole is sealed with a plastic cap, so that sits in the bottom of the (now) plastic hole and means that the whole thing rotates really easily. The arms go up umbrella style and there is a reassuring bit of effort needed to get it to lock but it is worth the effort as the whole thing seems built to last and strong. The washing line is well tensioned and hopefully that means the outer ring won't sag like it did on my last one. It is quite high at the lowest setting but I was able to reach to attach washing (I'm about 5" 9'). As I intend to take the line in after use I was pleased to see a bit at the top where I could attach it to a hook in my shed to save space and stop it falling down. Oh, I should also have said that the arms also have plastic hooks on the end where you secure coat hangers or maybe those holders for 'delicates'. It's only a washing line but sometimes it's the little things in life that make your day easier and I think this is one of them. Well worth the extra investment!

A really good and sturdy washing line which replaces a much-less sturdy Minky washing line. Tunular size is 45mm compared with the Minky 35mm. It cost more but is worth it. Being square in shape when opened out must be better for allowing air around the washing. Relatively easy to fit but I used more postcrete than previously when I secured the base spike.

Solid construction. Easy to put up and take down. ( with the exception of pounding the stake into the ground-that was hard, but it’s done and it has a great bright red cap so you can see it). Good spinning action. Lots of space for clothes. I want one for inside now!

This is a great quality clothes line for your laundry. I highly recommend or suggest. It has so much room to put more than a couple of loads of wash on it to dry and sturdy. Thank you for your great product!

Easy to assemble and well made!

We really enjoy this clothesline even after 6 months. We use it more and more as the weather gets better. It is just the right height, and rotates if you want to stand in one place while you hang your laundry, you can. It can hold almost 2 loads of a large dryer full! For installation you have to dig a small hole and use one bag of cement and a level, but it's definitely worth it. On a summer day our loads hung on the line will dry faster than loads in the dryer. I highly recommend this product.

Ottima qualità. Facile da mettere e togliere dalla postazione sotterrata, che viene coperta col tappo a livello terra, così si può tagliare l’erba del giardino, senza alcun problema .Consiglio vivamenteArrivato a casa, come da accordi.
