I hung it between my privacy fence and my deck, and it's the perfect spot for it; I like that when I'm entertaining, I can just let it retract and it's out of sight. That said, it could be better designed as far as the retraction goes. The problem comes in when you're not using the full 40 ft. When open and in use, you have to loop it around the little pedicle at the bottom of the housing to keep it from retracting and to keep the line ...

Rating: - Bad locking mechanism This is a fairly well made and affordable laundry line. I'd be very pleased with it, but its line-locking mechanism is insufficient. It's designed so that you tuck the line around a little catch, but this friction hold is insufficient to suspend the weight of a normal laundry load. You put a pair of jeans on the line and the line slips and sags to the ground... every time. This design could be corrected if they were to add one or two more friction points to wrap the line around. I ... Read More Rating: - GREAT CLOTHES LINE Very sturdy, easy to use. I only need 30 feet of line and I like that it can be taken down when we move. I attached it to our house and then the other end with the hooks provided to a tree. Line stays tight by wrapping the line around the bottom built in hook. I am very happy, it does sag when I have a full load on it, but so did my old stationary clothes line. Rating: - Works Fine I've used mine this whole summer and it is holding up just fine. A prior review mentions that the line does not stay taught. I experienced the same until I re-read the directions and now I have no problems. see more
