There are a few factors to consider when choosing a washing line pole:
-
Size: Consider the size of your laundry area and how much space you have for a washing pole. You'll want to choose a size that fits in your space and can hold the amount of laundry you typically wash.
-
Material: Washing poles can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. Wooden poles may be more aesthetically pleasing, but they will not be as durable as metal. Metal poles will be more durable, but they may be heavy to install or remove regularly. Plastic poles may be the easiest to maintain, but they may not be as strong as wood or metal poles.
-
Type of installation: Some washing poles are free-standing and can be placed wherever you have space or concreted into the ground while others must be mounted to a wall or building. Consider the installation options and choose a washing pole that fits your needs.
-
Load capacity: Make sure the washing pole you choose can hold the weight of your laundry. If you have a large family or wash a lot of heavy items, you'll want to choose a washing pole with a higher load capacity. For large spans, additional poles should be used to help support the loads, or use in conjunction with line props.
-
Price: Washing poles can range in price from a few pounds to over a hundred pounds, depending on the size, material, and features. Determine your budget and choose a washing pole that fits your price range. We recommend buying quality washing poles that is made to last, although they may cost a little more up front.
