Read More I really like the idea of this so let's start with the good and we will take it from there. I like the fact that the line is reflective. I also like the clips on each end so I don't have to tie it up. Simply loop it around a tree and clip it to itself. Here is where I have an issue. One, the line is not long enough to use between two trees. I added some additional line to it and it should fix the issue. The second issue is the clips like everyone else is mentioning. There are too few, they are weak and slide to the center each time. I would suggest just buying some reflective line and build your own. -

Read More I got this item to add to our RV stash, however most RV camp sites do not allow clothes lines. So I added it to our ever growing hurricane/disaster kit. It's small enough that can fit just about anywhere. It's an item I know I will use in the future if something was to happen. -

Read More Clotheslines need two things to work: a taut clothesline, and clothespins that stay put. This product can be strung tautly, but to call the easily sliding clips it comes with clothespins is wishful thinking. Without some ability to clamp those clamps to the line, clothes just all clump together in the center of the line. It makes me wonder if this product was use-tested before being marketed. It is definitely not suitable for its intended purpose, other than to drape clothing over the line itself. Sometimes the pursuit of the ultralight (by toothbrush-drillers, for example) isn't warranted. Use utility cord and some compact clothespins instead. -

Read More This would be really useful if the clips didn't slide along the line. There was no way we could position the line (or get it taught enough) so the garments didn't all slurp together in the middle. We had to anchor one garment around a tree at one end (tied the ends of long johns around it), and double clip all other garments to branch from that, to keep them spread out along the line. Better to bring your own line and clothes pins. Cute product, but worthless. -

Read More I bought this for travel. The clips are flimsy -- the first one I touched broke off. More important, they slide very freely, so that if there is the slightest slope to the line everything will wind up bunched together at the lower end. The line is too long and does not attach easily. -

Read More A frequent complaint for this product is the pins slide, the line sags, and everything bunches to the lowest point. Here's how to prevent that: Hang the line with a decent bit of slack in it. Put the pin where you want it. Take the line and wrap it once around the pin passing it thru the open jaw of the pin so the line is deep in the "v" created by the open jaw. Put whatever you're hanging in the jaw and close it. Repeat w/the other pins. The friction of the wrap will limit the slide of the pin. Tension the line if its too loose after you've hung your items. -

Read More when this came out it was the only option, so i bought it and i do not regret it. I've had it for years and i still use it. The string is very strong and it takes some creativity to use it well. The clips are very strong but don't last. They break easily when you release them to take the clothes. I lost about several already but that's like over 5 years of usage. I take more than 5 trips a year!! Oh it also gets tangled up like most strings..but is easier to untangle due to the material. So not bad, but need improvement. I use the string and buy cheap clothing clips from dollar stores. i am glad it exists...until something better comes along...=)
Warning:
A block of warning text that breaks onto a new line and may extend beyond one line.
Read More We hung this clothesline off the back of our sailboat and the clips were so secure we didn't lose a single sock. HINT- the clothes don't sag to the middle if you overlap (alternate) the clips! A few handy-dandy twists of the rope will keep your laundry widely spread. I would have liked to have more clips on the ten-foot rope.
