Minky Retractable Duo Reel Washing Line, Grey, 2x15m

Product Information

But that’s nearly it, with that screwed in just walk the line from the retractable unit down to the hook and you’re in business.

We are a proud British manufacturing and many of our products are made here in the UK by state of the art machinery. But, with that said, he’s been using the washing line successfully for the last 5 months now so perhaps I am being too critical 🤔. Argos Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as a credit broker (713206), and works exclusively with the lender, Home Retail Group Card Services Limited trading as Argos Card and Argos Financial Services, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide credit (716148). So as you go through my site you'll watch me document some of the professional garden installs I make as well as the major projects I take on at home. So the first thing to mention that I am not happy about myself, if you watched the video you’ll know I binned the screws.Bear in mind these will be sat in the sun all day, and rained on frequently, the plastic needs to be pretty decent.

We’ve even got a colourful ironing board collection to help you easily remove those stubborn creases. The only place where I can honestly say this product shows that it is low budget is the smoothness of the line extending and retracting. Let’s say you only need a single line or maybe two for a smaller load, no problem, you can just pull out the ones you need.One of the great things about nice weather is being able to hang your clothes outside to dry so they smell clean and fresh without taking up space indoors. The package contains the 15 metre Minky retractable clothesline, the wall fixings and the instructions. The reason being that you don’t need to fix it in place with screws or glue like with most indoor and outdoor models. Installation is the usual – you’ll have to have an SDS drill bit and I would recommend changing for wood screws if you intend to screw into a wooden shed etc – the screws with the walls plugs aren’t ideal for this as you’ll see from my Vileda review.

As I allude to in my Vileda Automatic Retractable Clothes Line review, you will want to get some decent wood screws – anything over 40mm will do you just fine.Home Retail Group Card Services Limited is registered in England (04007072) at 33 Holborn, London, United Kingdom, EC1N 2HT. A nice feature of the Better heavy duty washing line is that you don’t have to use all five lines at once if you don’t want to.

So right off the bat I can tell you that you will actually get instructions with the Minky retractable washing line which differs right off the bat to my top pick the Vileda when compared directly – that’s not the only key difference though, this one offers twice as much hanging space!For concrete I think the fixing kits are just about OK – you’ll need a 6 or 7mm SDS bit from all of the kits that I tested in this review. Obviously, metal is more resistant to impact damage and temperature variations, but rust is always a threat to any metal object left outdoors. A quick tip; wrap the line twice around the node at the base of the unit to stop the line from slipping. In our tests, we were able to zig zag it across a small garden using some screw-in eyelets and it made great use of the space. it doesn’t stop there though, in my testing I quickly realised you can even get tripped up on the fixing kits!
