In my research, I was amazed to find that there was no good website explaining all the different clotheslines and drying rack products. Reading through blog entries and articles, I also found that many people were frustrated by the difficulty in finding high-quality, European and Austrailian-style drying racks. Having spent so much time researching drying racks and lines, and having come across some great products, I figured I should share my newfound knowledge. I've done so by creating a page on the Tip the Planet sustainable living wiki. Since its a wiki page, anyone can edit it, so it will hopefully stay up to date. You can check it out here: <a href="http://www.tiptheplanet.com/index.php?title=Air_dry_washing" rel="nofollow">http://www.tiptheplanet.com/index.php?title=Air_dry_washing</a> I'm trying to spread the word so that the site becomes a clearing house for drying rack information, and people have to spend less time scouring the web for the best products. Have a look, share it with your friends, and by all means add your wisdom!

We don't have one but our neighbors in the other half of the duplex do. I was a little hesitant to put one in myself since it seems like it might be more construction than our landlord would appreciate. :) A closet pole in the laundry room is very smart.

We hang the wet shirts and pants on plastic hangers and space them evenly on the pole. Works year 'round! We hung a regular closet pole in our laundry room.
