The short answer: if you have the space and budget, go with the CoastLine — it's our best seller for good reason. But the right T-bar clothesline depends on two things: how much line space you need, and how much room you have between your posts.
Step 1: How much line space do you need?
A single person or couple can manage easily with 16 metres of line space. A small family doing regular loads will want 36 metres or more. If you have a large household or do daily loads, choose the largest option available — 40 metres gives you serious capacity without multiple wash cycles.
Step 2: How much space do you have?
T-bar posts need a minimum of 2.5 metres between them to give you enough line length to hang sheets comfortably. Our largest model spans up to 5 metres between posts. Measure your yard before you decide — the distance between posts directly determines how much line space you'll get.
