South Africa's blessed with one of the highest number of days of sunlight per a year in the world
Make sure that you dry your laundry on a solar clothes dryer, better known as a washing line, it’s the natural and completely carbon neutral option. South Africa's blessed with one of the highest number of days of sunlight per a year in the world, and what rain there is usually comes in short heavy storms, so there's plenty of time to dry your clothes, even on a dull day the wind acts as an effective drying agent. If you do find yourself in a wet area, or going through a period of inclement weather, consider erecting a second clothes line under cover, it may take a little longer for them to dry but at least you're still employing the eco-friendly option.
Dont just grab the first washing line you see in your local DIY store!
If the thought of driving around making comparisons seems too much like hard work, it's possible to compare and order online, and have a washing line delivered to your door.
Decide where the best place in your garden is for a washing line. Take into account ease of access.
Do you have a large enough area to leave a washing line permanently fixed in place? Do you prefer to dry clothes in sunshine or shade? If you're replacing a washing line, and the existing one's not in the best place, relocate it.
Choose a washing line from an established manufacturer who gives a guarantee.
With the choice of colours and frame styles available now, you should be able to find a washing line that will suit your property.
Folding frame washing lines, which fold down out of the way against the wall can be a great solution for narrow, awkward spaces.
The amount of people in your household, and so the amount of washing, will determine the amount of line space you need.
Once you've selected the ideal spot, measure up the area. Know the measurements and you can tell by a quick glance at the manufacturer's recommendations whether a particular washing line will be workable.
