A retractable line dryer in white steel and aluminum that mounts to a wall and stays out of the way until needed. Five vinyl-coated lines with polyester cores extend up to 34 feet each, giving roughly 170 feet of hanging space, then wind back into a slim moisture-proof housing about 37.75 inches wide.
Pulling all five lines to their full 34 feet gives close to 170 feet of hanging space, enough for several loads of shirts and sheets at once. Because the lines run parallel, wet items hang in separate rows with air moving between them, which dries faster than crowding everything onto a single strand.
The lines retract into a moisture-proof aluminum housing built to sit outdoors on a wall or fence as easily as indoors in a basement. The metal case keeps rain off the wound line and stops the reel mechanism from seizing, so the unit can be left mounted through a season of weather rather than taken in.
A knob at the housing takes up slack once the lines are hooked at the far end, so heavy wet towels do not sag into each other or touch the ground. Vinyl coating over a polyester core resists stretching, and winding the lines back in keeps them off a wall where they would tangle.
Folding bamboo drying rack with 11 dowels and a flat shelf for sweaters, opening to 29.25 inches wide.
