Savings from a few hundred dollars a year to over a thousand dollars are year can be achieved with the use of washing lines, with no negative effects to the current standard of living.
Washing lines are now available in a vast array of models, with all leading manufactures of washing lines including Hills and Austral each having over ten models on offer.
Washing lines fit into six main categories,
• Fixed Rotary Washing Lines

Folding Rotary Washing Lines are also a hoist style of washing line that can be raised and lowered, however these washing lines have a folding head which allows for the line to be folded up and removed from the ground if required.
