Washing Lines for Sale

Washing lines for sale here are made in one place, Diep River in Cape Town, in one design done properly rather than a catalogue of imports. It is a wall-mounted aluminium line that opens to 13 metres of drying space and folds flat against the wall afterwards. Three colours, one price, R2 050 including VAT, delivered anywhere in South Africa for R149.99 or collected free from us.

The range

• White Foldaway Washing Line, R2 050
• Charcoal Foldaway Washing Line, R2 050
• Bronze Foldaway Washing Line, R2 050

All three are the same frame and the same line. The only difference is the powder-coat colour.

What the price covers

• The aluminium frame, powder coated, with a two-year warranty
• 13 metres of UV-protected PVC coated line over a polyester core
• Every screw, washer and bolt in stainless steel
• UV-protected shoulder washers
• Assembly, so it arrives built
• VAT

What a washing line should cost in South Africa

A rope and two brackets from a hardware chain will cost a few hundred rand and will need replacing. Imported rotary and wall-mounted dryers run from around R2 700 to well over R6 000. A locally made aluminium wall-mounted line sits between the two, and the reason to pay more than the rope is the bracket metal and the fixings, which is what determines whether you still have a usable line in five years.

Which one suits your space

• Small courtyard, side passage or townhouse yard. This is what it is built for. See wall mounted washing lines.
• You want it out of sight between washes. The frame folds flat. See foldable washing lines.
• Coastal or high-sun property. Aluminium and stainless steel throughout. See aluminium washing lines.
• Balcony or indoors. Read indoor and balcony washing lines for small spaces first.

Frequently asked questions

Question: How much is a washing line?

Answer: A basic rope and bracket set runs a few hundred rand. Imported rotary and wall-mounted dryers start around R2 700 and climb past R6 000. A locally made aluminium wall-mounted line sits between the two. Ours is R2 050 including VAT, covering the frame, 13 metres of line, all stainless fixings and assembly.

Question: Where can I buy a washing line in South Africa?

Answer: Hardware chains carry rope, brackets and imported dryers. Buying direct from a manufacturer is usually cheaper for the same build quality, and it means replacement line and parts are available locally later. We make ours in Diep River, Cape Town and deliver nationwide.

Question: Do you deliver outside Cape Town?

Answer: Yes. Delivery is R149.99 to any address in South Africa and the line arrives fully assembled, so there is nothing to build on arrival. Collection from our Diep River premises is free if you are nearby, and on the Cape Peninsula we can bring one to you instead.

Question: What is included when I buy a washing line from you?

Answer: The powder-coated aluminium frame, 13 metres of UV-protected line strung at 10cm spacing, stainless steel screws, washers and bolts, UV-protected shoulder washers, and full assembly. The price includes VAT and carries a two-year warranty on the aluminium frame. Wall fixings suited to your specific wall type are the only thing you may need to add.
