Retractable Clothes Airer - What to Know When Buying Retractable Style Clothes Airers and Dryers
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kelly_Nickless]Kelly Nickless

Retractable clothes airers are really great for people who want to make full use of their gardens. Unlike bulkier clothes lines you won't notice the retractable clothes airer at all when it's not being used.

As many peoples' outdoor space becomes smaller, every square foot of back yard becomes precious, this is one reason a retractable style of clothes airer is gaining in popularity. It takes up very little space.

The other reason is that retractable clothes airers benefit the planet. Every time someone uses one instead of an electric drier the environment is kept a little bit healthier. This is something that is very important to most people nowadays and so sales of retractable clothes airers have gone up and up.

There are a few things you should consider when buying a retractable clothes airer. It is an investment and should last a very long time so make sure you make the right choice.

First of all, where are you going to put it? The two ends need to face each other. Have you got walls that sit at a convenient distance apart or do you need to get one or two posts? The posts are easily removable and can come in the same colour as your clothes airer.

Secondly, how big does you retractable washing line or clothes airer need to be? Some can stretch to 10 metres with 60 metres of line space! While others may only have 30 metres of line space for smaller washing needs. Lines should be spaced well apart from each other to allow clothes to dry properly. Make sure you get the right one and not just the first one you see.

Third, quality. Heavy wash loads can weigh the lines down causing bad quality washing lines to break. Plus a variety of weather conditions takes its toll on the retractable clothes airer box, make sure you get a good quality product with weather proof paint.

Retractable clothes airers can also be used in the house. Ultimately the advice for these is the same - make sure you get a good quality product that will last you a long time.

Now, armed with this knowledge you can get on with choosing the right retractable clothes airer for you.
