This outdoor umbrella clothesline offers convenience and durability not found with traditional and potentially dangerous tree-to-tree clotheslines. A handy, safe and cost-effective alternative to machine drying, this device assembles in just seconds like a beach umbrella and can be anchored securely into the ground with the included stake attachment (this will need to be set permanently in concrete prior to use). When upright, the umbrella clothesline provides 12 convenient vinyl lines totalling 192 feet of drying line in a space that roughly measures just six feet by six feet. To operate, simply place the umbrella clothesline into the mounted stake attachment and press up on the center sliding apparatus like an umbrella. The unit has two height settings for added convenience and comfort depending on your preference. The umbrella clothesline stands 72 inches tall and measures 78 inches by 80 inches when extended to its largest setting.
