MAGZO Stainless Steel Clothesline Portable Detachable Laundry Wire Vinyl Coated Clothesline Wire Kit with Tightener System Hanging Rope Cable Set for Curtain/Car/Garage/Outdoor/Indoor/Travel (30FT)

UPDATED 2024 - I've added pictures to this review to show how this kit has held up AFTER SIX YEARS of constant use.Original review:I wanted to create a taut line to hang tarps off of the edge of my back patio, to shelter my tools from blowing wind & rains. After visiting Home Depot and the local Ace, I couldn't find all the parts I needed for under $50. Got home, searched Amazon, and this kit pops up.Received it THE SAME DAY, and took the kit apart to inspect, and was shocked at how high the quality was on every component. Everything is, in fact, stainless steel, and built solidly. (Note that you'll want a 7mm nut driver at hand to tighten the cable bolts that are provided.)I installed everything last night, (I used my own eye bolts, not the provided j hooks) and the taut line is currently holding 25' of blue tarps, securely, and has held through last night's wind and rain storm. Not a single thing has come loose, or shows any sign of failing.2023 update:I want to update my earlier (2018) review. Almost FIVE YEARS later, and through this month's monsoon grade rain and wind storms, I went out to inspect the hardware that I had installed. There is not a speck of rust on any part. I've never had to tighten any fastener. I've replaced the blue tarps a half a dozen times, but EVERY part in this kit still looks like it is brand new.

Great clothesline. Very strong and stays tight! Had a minor problem with my package and the seller fixed it immediately. Very nice folks. The line is easy to assemble, just takes a little strength and a couple tools (pliers, screwdriver). I changed my j-bolts out for the ones for wood. Note- the instructions weren't correct- you need to assemble them how they are on the front page of the manual, not the way they are pictured inside. (I think they had the tube in the wrong place on the inside,don't have it in front of me at the moment) Works great! I will be getting a second one soon.

We're using a pair of these lines as clotheslines, attached to pre-existing steel clothesline poles set in concrete. So far they're working well but there are a couple of caveats. The instruction sheet, as minimal as it is, shows the U-clamp being attached to the inside of the loop, inside the aluminum ferrule. This is wrong - the clamp should be on the outside of the ferrule, as shown in the advertising pictures for the product. Otherwise the ferrule will just slide down the cable. It would have been nice to have two U-clamps for each end, for safety, but I guess this is just a clothesline. The expansion-bolt J-hooks are great if you need them but many folks don't so they could be eliminated and reduce the price. The price for all of these pieces of hardware comes close to the price they're offering, so it's a pretty good deal especially since you don't have to buy more pieces than you need. Cutting the cable is easy with a hacksaw and a 32TPI (fine tooth) blade. Around here, anything that stays outside all winter pretty much needs to be stainless so I'm hoping this will hold up. I will also note that despite that word "retractable" in the title, it's not retractable in the sense most people think of a clothesline. There's a turnbuckle meant for tightening but it's meant to be permanent, not put up and down repeatedly.

This was far nicer than I expected for the price. Very heavy duty for laundry and I suspect some of the savings was in making me put together everything. A little patience and a third hand will make sure it all goes together. After that you have a nice stainless line running. I bought the stainless clothes pins at the same time and every looks great.Be sure, before you buy, that you have a place to actually screw into. It uses an expansion bolt at each end, so it must go into a stud (4x4 even better). It can go into a tree, but I suspect that a living tree may be less secure.

Just what we needed. Everything was included, ready to use, and good instructions.Just perfect.

I got this one, because my fancy retractable clothsline broke. This one is fantastic. I thought it looked a little complicated, but my Dad had no trouble with it. My Mom loved it so much, I got her one. Dad put hers up in about 5 minutes. We both love our new lines. No sagging, no breaking, no marks on cloths. Everyone should have one and use the Sun to dry cloths instead of electricity.

I never was sent instructions. The instructions that came with it were conflicting. The materials look good, but without decent instructions, what the hell am I supposed to do with it? I tried to hang it according to the terrible directions that came with it and the mechanisms that you are to attach on the ends just slide right off and the line falls down. Total waste of my money. I’m really bummed I bought it now. It looked so great and I was really looking forward to using this clothesline.

I gave this three stars instead of 5 only because it was missing one of the hooks that it was supposed to come with. I went to Home Depot and got the other piece I needed so I could put it up and it works great. But it was unfortunate that it didn't come with all the pieces so I had to drive to the store and go buy an extra piece to make it work

Perfect line! Adjustable & looking great. Probably one of the best choices available.

the quality i felt was better than expected for the price would buy again
