Best Clotheslines for Outdoor of 2025

"I’ve had two of these, and I’ve never experienced any issues. It performs well if you have realistic expectations. It’s convenient and easy to use."

"Installation was simple, and the product is well-made. The line retracts smoothly, and the wrap post keeps the line in place, allowing me to hang multiple items without any hassle. I'm really happy with my purchase!"

"I bought this for delicate items instead of using the dryer. While the concept is great, I've had to toss out a few shirts due to stains from falling. The line stretches too much, and the locking mechanism is not reliable. Plus, squirrels seem to love chewing through it! Unfortunately, this didn’t happen with my old metal line."

"I think it's a great little clothesline at a great price. It works perfectly for my family of four. I needed something discreet when not in use, and this fits the bill, keeping my backyard neat and tidy. So far, I’ve had zero issues with sagging or retraction, thanks to being careful with use."

"I installed a Minky retractable laundry line in 1998, and it still works after 25 years! I only replaced it because the line was starting to crack. It was an easy switch. I noticed some brands are overpriced for shorter lines, but the Minky is fantastic. Everything else I tried just doesn't compare."

"I live in Las Vegas, and this clothesline has withstood heat and high winds for three years. I use it almost weekly for heavy loads. The only time I had issues with retraction was when I snagged it, but one quick pull gets it back in place. It’s worth every penny!"

"I absolutely love this clothes line! It's perfect for smaller yards and easy to close when not in use. The setup was simple and lightweight, making it manageable for one person. The only downside is that you need a pretty large hole for the concrete, so I'd recommend a post hole digger. Overall, it's well made and I've been using it almost daily this summer, really saving on my electric bill!"

"After reading various reviews, I decided to buy this outdoor clothes line, and I must say, it is by far the best I've had in over 35 years. The delivery was quick, and everything was packaged well. The frame feels sturdy, and the installation instructions were clear. I was a bit concerned about the lines being loose, but they tightened easily. For normal laundry, they work just fine, and I appreciate that it doesn't rust."

"I had previously owned a similar product, but this one is noticeably better! The installation was effortless, and it quickly unfolded into position. I followed the instructions for cementing, and it feels very solid. It worked well with large sheets, and I’m truly impressed with how easy it was to set up. It's a great investment for anyone who wants to save on electricity."

"I love this sturdy solution for my lanai! It’s barely noticeable on the wall and holds several items, including sheets and towels. Well worth the price and easy to install!"

"I was a bit skeptical at first, but after putting it up, I really like how it looks and works. It takes up little space when closed, and when deployed, it effectively holds my bras without any hassle. Adjustable tension and clips are a great bonus!"

"This clothesline has been a game changer for drying my child's clothes! It was simple to set up, and it’s very strong, holding heavy wet items without any issues. While it does bow slightly in the middle, that’s typical for clotheslines and doesn’t bother me."

"I really appreciate the strong and sturdy construction of these poles. After setting them in concrete, I can make the rope as tight as I want without worrying about bending the poles."

"Growing up with a clothesline, I enjoy saving money by drying outdoors. However, I noticed that these poles aren’t quite as hefty as my old ones, and tightening the lines has caused a bit of bending."

"I found this product to be excellent for drying sheets outside. The setup was straightforward, and it's nice to have the poles at a comfortable height for reaching my clothes."

"I recently purchased the Retractable Portable Clothesline for my travels, and I couldn't be happier! This little gem comes with 12 sturdy clothes clips, making it incredibly versatile for drying everything from delicates to heavier clothing. Setting it up is a breeze – I just attach it to two points, and the adjustable length is perfect for any space, whether it's in a hotel room or my bathroom at home. The clips hold my clothes securely without leaving marks, and I love how compact it is when stored. It's lightweight and easy to pack, so I never have to worry about wet clothes during travel again. Plus, the quality is fantastic; it feels durable and built to last. If you're looking for a reliable and convenient solution for drying clothes, this retractable clothesline is a must-have! Highly recommend!"

"This was a lifesaver on a recent trip to Europe. We were gone for just over two weeks. This handy, portable clothesline was just what we needed. It's well constructed and quite durable. It easily attached in the bathroom of our hotel, allowing us to wash out items when we needed to. It has outstanding performance. The attached clothespins grip and hold well. Even a heavy shirt stayed on the line. I really liked the beads that separated the clothespins. They were movable and, once locked into place, kept clothing from sliding around on the line. When you're done, just put it back in the carry pouch. This line, along with some detergent sheets, saved us a ton of money on laundry. I would wash a couple of things in the sink at night, hang them to dry, and they would be ready to wear by the next afternoon. Having it also made it easier to pack in just a carry-on bag. Great product!"

"We ordered this for our camping trip and it was very handy! The length was perfect to use between two pillars at a picnic site at the lake. We were able to hang all our towels and bathing suits on it with no problem. The quality and stability of the rope was great! It is convenient to take on trips because it comes with a little pouch to put it in when done. It performed well for us and I would definitely recommend!"

"I’m super happy with my Solar and wind powered clothes dryer! I only gave it a 4 on easy to set up since it was a bit tricky to get the stake into my hard, dry, rocky ground. But once it was in, it’s held up well with heavy loads. I love the guides in the arms for the lines, and it even comes with a zippered cover! I can easily reach the lines at 5'3", and I take it in and out of my garage without any issues. If you enjoy that fresh line-dried scent, just go for it!"

"Living off-grid in my RV, I needed something efficient, and the Lift-O-Matic has been a fantastic purchase. It replaced my tiny electric dryer, saving me electricity and hassle. I can dry everything at once, from clothes to towels, and it’s a huge timesaver! The quality is high, and it fits perfectly in my RV when folded. I highly recommend using Kevin's Quality Clothespins to keep everything secure."

"This clothesline is simply the best! It holds four loads of laundry and is easy to install and use. The materials are of high quality, and it’s nice to see the lines stay tight and clean. I hang my clothespin bag on one corner and the laundry basket on the other. Nothing beats the fresh air smell of dried clothes, and it’s great for the electricity bill!"

"I absolutely love this clothesline! I've been using it for about a month, and it is wonderful. The ladder weave makes it so easy to hang dry shirts on hangers, and I can also use clothes pins. It does seem to lose a bit of tension and starts sagging after a few loads or with heavier items. However, that's easily fixed by just adjusting the hook at the end. It's very simple to put up and take down quickly, perfect for those who don't want a permanent setup. I bought this pack of three for $8.99, which is a great deal. I highly recommend it!"

"My family camps year-round, so we always have wet towels, bathing suits, and fishing gear that need drying. These clotheslines really brought some order to my campsite. They are incredibly lightweight, extremely strong, and easy to hang without damaging the trees. I've used my first line regularly for five years, and it still looks brand new. It's easy to fold up and store, and if it gets dirty, I just hose it off. I've even used it to tie up and tow another kayak. Of all the camping gear we've bought, this is probably the most useful and durable item!"

"I was searching for a portable clothesline that was easy to set up and take down, and I decided to give these a shot. They are fantastic! They hold quite a bit of weight and are easy to move around. They do stretch out a bit, but I just retighten it, and it's perfect again. I've only had them for a few months, but they have been a great purchase so far!"

"I needed a good size and fit for hanging clothes, and this one is the right choice. It's solid and the materials are long-lasting. This is the second one I purchased over the years."

"I bought a clothesline like this about 20 years ago. Growing up in the country, hanging clothes was one of my chores. Now, I continue that in spring, summer, and fall. When my old retractable clothesline finally broke after being exposed to the elements for 20 years, I found this new one on Amazon. I didn't have to change any mounting; I just hung it up. This product is so useful and saves money on electricity. I give it 5 stars and would give it more if I could!"

"This is my third Sunline. The first lasted many years, the second only four, and this one... we shall see. I live in a harsh climate where the sun damages many things. The heat caused my last one to lose the plastic coating, and the fibers were exposed. I got this on sale, and it fit perfectly like the old one. I can dry four to five loads at a time for free in the sun. Nothing smells better than fresh sheets and towels off the line!"

"I found this wire to be solid and well-coated. I used it to secure my carport tent for winter, especially after the original materials fell apart the first year."

"The underlying wire is very thick and strong. I needed heavy-duty snips just to cut through it. I recommend using tensioners for easier stretching."

"This green clothesline was perfect for me. I wanted something that would blend in outdoors, and it holds tighter than the plastic ones, making installation a breeze!"
