Wall Mounted Washing Lines vs. Rotary - What's The Best?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kelly_Nickless]Kelly Nickless
Have you every asked yourself is a folding frame washing line any better than a rotary one? Below I try to answer some of the many questions I get asked about these very different styles of washing lines and clothes lines.
This article discusses the main key points and differences that exist between these two styles of washing lines, both of which are still very popular today.
To Fold or to Rotate, that is what we need the answer to!
Firstly, we need to sort out exactly what each line is and how they vary in ways such as function, style, mounting and washing line space.
The rotary washing line or clothes line is a rotating style of washing line that is available in a range of sizes, which start around 2.5 metres in diameter and ranging up to 6 metres for the really big models!)
There are generally two styles of rotary washing lines, those that can be folded and removed after installation and those that are permanently fixed into the ground.
By far, the folding style of rotary washing line is the most popular sold around the world, with the permanently installed rotaries more popular in Australia where the rotary washing was invented and probably also because they have larger blocks with more room.
Materials used in construction are basically aluminum or steel and can be painted in a range of colours, with the most popular being Heritage Green and Beige, or just natural aluminum or galvanized steel.
The wall mounted washing line is one that as attaches to the wall or can also be mounted free standing with the use of a ground mount conversion kit.
With narrow models that are better suited for longer, narrow areas, to those that comes out from the wall up to 1.5 metres.
You can also install and use all the wall mounted washing lines indoors, which is great for those countries who have bad weather.
The wall mounted washing lines are commonly found in countries such as New Zealand and Australia, with rotarys far more common throughout other regions.
When it comes to comparing the two styles, the rotary washing line offers the most line space but also requires the most area.
The wall mounted lines are more compact so are perfect for smaller yards and areas such as passage ways and walkways, but do not have the drying area of the rotary's.
When it comes down to it you need to consider how much line space you need and how much washing you are going to make.
