Brabantia - WallFix - 24 Metres of Clothes Line - UV-Resistant & Non-Slip Lining - Foldable Rotary Dryer - Easy to install - with Storage Box - Metallic Grey - 184 x 182 cm

As has been stated by other reviewers, this item is moderately fragile. The alloy is quite thin, and does not instill confidence in it's tensile strength. However, that being said, if this is used with care it works just fine. It took me about 20 minutes to install it on the wall, including finding an 8mm drill bit and it feels quite solid once mounted. There are four rubber gromits that fit on the back of this to cushion it against the wall, and I suppose to give it some cushioning from vibration in the wind. This also has the benefit of reducing vibration noise against the wall. The screws are adequate and fit the unit well enough with the supplied washers. You do need to use a reasonable amount of strength to pull this from the wall until the catch clicks into place, and of course as has been mentioned here - to lift it away from the wall to disengage the catch before folding it away. It is best to do this with a bit of caution, simply because the frame is not very solid, so is fairly easy to bend or buckle. There is no template for mounting this, which I think is something the company should supply. It's all well and good giving us the measurements on the sheet in small print with a small diagram of the mounting plate. I mean, how much extra cost is it to put in a paper template? It would save time and trouble for the customer. For myself I made my own template from the back place, rather than dismantling the thing or fiddling with the assembled unit to mark the holes. There is no fixed height to mount this unit, it is advised to mount it at a comfortable height, so the top of the mounting plate is slightly above the head of the person using it. When you see how it works, this makes a lot of sense. Once I showed my wife how this unit works, and how to release the catch again, she has been using this comfortably. We're both getting a lot of use out of this as the main rotary dryer is out the back of the property in the middle of the grass, this one is mounted closer to the back door at the end of the patio. It's easier to get to when the weather is questionable, and as it folds away neatly it doesn't interfere when we are sitting out there or entertaining. Once this is pulled out and locked, it is quite large and will take a fair amount of washing. For us this means that the larger household items can go on the bigger rotary dryer, and smalls, underoos, t-shirts and other washing can go on this thing. It does mean we get more washing done in a day which is a bonus in some ways and a bane in others (more ironing for instance...) This answered a need for us, and allows us to hang washing out on days when the weather is less than perfect, and dash out to grab it quick if there's rain, without a long sprint down the garden and a wet trudge back carrying a heavy load. I suspect that because of it's convenience it is going to get more use than the larger rotary dryer. Great idea, well made and finished. Some care needs to be taken when fitting and using this item because of the way it is constructed, but overall this is a very nice unit that has made our lives that little bit easier. As it folds away neatly into it's own housing - either the alloy box or the provided rain cover which clips to the sides and sits tight on the top cap and bottom of the legs, it is unobtrusive and tidies away neatly.

So sturdy and space saving.

Brilliant as ever. When i move i left the one i had behind and have missed it. No wonky rotary pole, no having to cut grass round wonky pole. Folds away neatly. Strong, robust. Holds large items like quilt covers, bath towels.

Did a lot of research on options as this was a lot of money to spend on a clothes drier but having tried everything else decided to go for it. I have a small garden with Astro turf so no options for putting a drier into the ground. Have tried many types of freestanding and they end up blowing over and also quite restricted on size. No regrets so far with this. My son found it easy to fit using the template that was on the box and it seems strong and solid. Only downside is I have severe arthritis and so far have been able to ‘click’ the catch into place (though I can put it down) but as I leave it up most of the time, this is not proving a problem. The cover is great and when line not in use its becomes very compact and discrete. Excellent item.

I have wanted this item for some time, thinking the extra money for the metal cover was too much for me. The plastic cover that is available would have perished very quickly from past experience. So, I have waited to afford the whole item. It arrived on time and the packaging was secure and easy to open. I fixed it to the wall using the template provided and the fixings that were all included in the package. They were of good quality and the job was easy to complete without help. (nobody too help) The metal cover appeared to be a little flimsy at first, but its doing the job and I have opened and closed it a number of times now. Visitors seem to need to look at it. The line affords a good amount of drying space, got a full 7Kg load easily hung out. Pity it can't spin, but you can't have everything. Worth the money, wish I could have had it earlier.

Amazing, so easy to erect. Folds away easily

I absolutely love it! I needed something that would save space in the garden and this is ideal. Very easy to install and very sturdy. Can easily hold a full load of washing. I did not have a wall that it could be mounted on so instead had it mounted to a wooden post.
