Household Essentials's 40 ft Single Line Retractable Clothesline makes hanging laundry quick and easy. The high impact ABS plastic (crack and heat resistant) case protects the clothesline from the elements and keeps it out of the way when it is not in use. A quick lock cleat keeps the extended line secure and tight, so you have up to 40' of taut line; use only what you need as the rest stays nicely coiled out of sight. With a metal plate providing optimum stability, you can mount this line indoors or out and never trip over a dangling line or wind a loose end around the tree again. Your tree and feet thank you. Perfect for decks, patios, basements and mudrooms, this retractable clothesline gives you a place to hang your clothes when you need it--and not when you don't.
