We've got a Brabantia one that's been fine for the last eight years. Can't complain about that.l

We've got one, I'll ask the wife what it is. I try to avoid it as much as possible.

You need some bits of scaffold, a welder and some nylon line 😉
How about not having a sig at all?

I've got one of the brabantia wall mounted ones. I had one at the old marital home and it worked flawlessly so as soon as I got my own palce, put one in the garden.

We had one like Jimmy’s in our last place. Very tidy, loads of space but as a negative, it doesn’t rotate obviously

No welder needed, just use plenty of scaffold clamps.
We have a 2 tier garden, only way to run a washing line at split heights.

I don't think I've ever rotated a washing line. I'm clearly not living my best life. :(

If you have 3 or 4 sheets, it’s handy to be able to rotate them into the sun or wind for even drying.

It's attached to the house so I just need to put the building on a turntable and I'll be on it.

Thank you for your inputs. I have purchased a Brabantia one online. These are exciting times.
