Good quality washing line

fred funk }{

I'm looking for a good quality washing line, the actual line itself. I'm sick of replacing the cheaper ones every six months or so. Does anyone know where to get one and which type do you think is best? Cheers

A length of stainless steel cable strikes me as a permanent solution. That and the allied cable fixing ironmongery.

Don't know if that would work with a winch and pulley system. Any idea where id get some of that wire?

Exactly what I have been thinking of doing. Braided S/S cable - Ship's Chandlers, here I come.

As cnocbui says. Alternatively, a ring around stainless steel merchants such as Leslie Reynolds might elicit some leads if they've not got it themselves

There are min limits to the diameter you can wrap a steel cable around without it unravelling, but since you can go right down in cable diameter (3-4mm would easily cope with whatever load your washing adds up to) I don't see why you couldn't utilise your existing kit.
