STRATA Super Heavy-Duty Clothesline Kit, 150 ft Steel Cable, Premium Metallic

Perfect clothesline system. My run is about 60-70 feet, and I was replacing a smaller, plastic pulley wheel system (maybe 4.5 or 5" wheels) and white cotton rope -- the only system you really can assemble at the local hardware store, and I looked! I hung these larger wheels and the covered wire in the kit and kept my old Gizmo that keeps the top line and bottom line connect to prevent sag. This picture shows wet laundry -- that's a king size duvet cover, king size sheets and full size sheets, plus a bunch of kitchen towels, pillow cases and a bath mat. The line hasn't stretched (even fully loaded with beach towels) and it runs smoothly in the v-cut of the wheel, and my old wood pins work just fine. I wondered about the winch tightener, but haven't had to adjust a thing since set up. I live in New England (at the shore, so beach towels are a constant) where electricity is super-pricey. I use my clothesline every chance I get until it's too cold. I don't miss yanking the cotton rope line back in and pushing it back out, and replacing it on the stupid plastic pulley after it slipped off. This line glides like a dream -- one good push can send a towel out 10' and stays on the wheels! I can't say enough good about this kit -- it's already paid for itself in every way -- and I definitely recommend it!! Thanks STRATA!!

I have had clotheslines my entire married life of over 34 + years. It seems like about every other year and sometimes every year we are scrambling to put up new clothesline. Usually the cord used wears out or just plain doesn't hold up. I finally found the strata system and decided why not? Well worth the investment. The kit comes with 150' of line, 2 pulleys and 1 spacer. I have about a 40' run between my posts so I can only get 1 run with this kit.( I have 3 lines.) I actually bought 2 kits and then purchased everything else separate for the 3rd line. I love the ease and convenience of hanging my clothes. I am not constantly dragging the basket along with me to get it all up. With my 3 lines I can put a lot of stuff on there. Now here is the crucial part. THE SPACERS ARE KEY!!! Like I stated before, the kit only comes with 1 but for my needs, I need at least 5-6 per line. 1 spacer will not cut it. They are roughly $12 per 2 but do not skimp out on these or the hanging experience will not be pleasant. As you can see in my photos I use 1 spacer about every 4 ft. or so. Again, SPACERS ARE KEY!!! Also, I purchased the little metal clothespins....and threw out all my old soggy wooden ones that leave marks on the clothes and break and don't always hold. Best decision I've made. They come in about 80 per pack and I bought 3 packs. I don't like to run short. One review said these get tangled in the bag like a puzzle but that is just not true. I have had zero issues with that so far. Now I've only had this system up and going now for about a month but I already don't dread going out to hang my clothes. Also it gets really windy where I live in Indiana and I have yet to have anything fall off the line. Overall I really can't say enough about this system. I love it and hope it continues to work well for me. As long as I don't snag it with the top of the Kabota when I mow I'm good...lol.

I love my new Strata clothesline! We mounted one pulley at the edge of our deck on a post that we installed. The other pulley is mounted high up the trunk of a large tree at the edge of the woods. The clothesline stretches across our yard a little over 60 feet and is ten feet off the ground. I only have to take a few steps out the back door to hang the clothes and because it is so high off of the ground it is out of the way. I purchased two more spacers to go along with the one that came with the kit. Start with placing one spacer on the lines before you start hanging and the one every ten feet or so to keep the line from sagging. You will need to tighten the line with the winch tightener after the first few uses as the line will stretch a bit when first set up. The kit comes with 150 feet of wire so you could go longer then the sixty feet that we did. I am so happy with the whole set up, it is almost fun doing the laundry!

PLEASE! We absolutely love this system and it works perfectly. The ONLY reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the supplied mounting hooks. They are not strong enough to support the tension of the line alone, PLUS the weight of the wet laundry you will be hanging. It was only after a hook straightened, sending the pulley flying and barely missing my fiance's head, that I knew I needed an upgrade the mounting hardware.

I love this device, works as advertised even loaded with my heavy work pants

It's funny the little things that make me so happy. This clothesline is one of them. The line is super long and sturdy. It holds three loads of laundry, while the spacer/separator keeps the laundry from dragging the ground. The pulleys are sturdy. Overall this was easy to light weight but sturdy and easy to install. This is not a retractable clothesline, but one that stretched between two different stable posts or trees. The tension is easy to adjust with the key that is provided. I chose to keep the line long (rather than cutting it to length), using the key to tighten the tension. This way I have the flexibility of changing locations without worrying about the line length. Since I received this clothesline, it has been used 6 out of 7 days of the week with no issues.

I’m glad I bought this, even though the installation instructions are worthless. Fortunately the parts are easy to figure out. There was more than enough heavy duty cord. I had to cut off quite a bit, and the extra cord can be used for other projects. There is a piece included that is not shown in a diagram, or even mentioned in the written instructions, but I finally figured it out. Basically you will have to figure it out. The instructions will not help. The diagram does not show how to use the part that cinches together the two loose ends. Each end goes in one side, facing each other. Both ends are then twisted in a little ratchet device that closes the “loop” and tightens the cord. This is very sturdy, and I’m thrilled with the quality.

Love my cloths line however two days after installation both hooks that hold the pulleys bent and line fell to ground! Husband purchased carabiner for both sides and closed loop screw hook now it’s very secure and holds tight; we live in mountains with heavy winds and storms in spring and fall so it broke after first windy day of gust 22-25mph steady winds at 7. Defiantly helps with electricity bill; and saves time do recommend but be prepared for possibility of bending.

Los pedí para una tía hace un par de años y le siguen funcionando correctamente.

Excellent quality, very easy to install.

Clotheslines are a solved problem. The only ways to fail at one are cheap hardware that corrodes, wire that sags under load, or tensioning hardware that can't hold adjustment. This kit avoids all three. The wire gauge is substantial enough to handle a full load of wet laundry without the sag that plagues lighter kits. Hardware is zinc-coated or galvanized throughout, which is the correct call for something that lives outside year-round in rain, snow, and UV. The tensioner does its job and holds adjustment without creeping loose over time, which is the failure mode that makes cheaper kits progressively useless within a season. Installation is straightforward. The included hardware covers the typical post-to-post or post-to-wall run without requiring supplemental fasteners for a standard setup. There is no meaningful design innovation here and none is needed. This is a wire between two points, held taut, resistant to weather. It does that. The "super heavy duty" designation reflects actual material spec rather than marketing inflation, which in this category is not something you can take for granted. Bottom Line: Buy it once, stop thinking about it.

très pratique -super ! système très répandu aux USA et Canada juste qu'il faut prendre 1m de plus car la mise en tension puis fixation du câble n'est pas évidente surtout pour les grandes longueurs sur les grandes longueur le charriot à tendance à "dérailler" ( le cable sort de la poulie supérieure "porteuse") et ça coince ! j'ai donc bricolé avec un fil de cuivre un système autour du charriot pour que le cable ne puisse plus sortir de la poulie

Doesn’t appear to be a cheap knockoff product that Amazon is becoming all too well know for. This product uses proper steel cable, cast aluminium pulleys and real bearings. It’s pricey but will definitely cost you less in the long run. You won’t be fiddling around with stretched cable (washing line) or failed bearings unlike buying a product that ‘looks’ similar in the photos.
