Description
xThe Household Essentials 17130-1 is a rotating outdoor umbrella-style clothes dryer with 30 pre-strung vinyl lines providing 210 feet of hanging space for air-drying laundry.
This heavy-duty umbrella clothesline pairs a galvanized steel post with a rust-resistant aluminum top to deliver a large, low-maintenance drying system. The top pivots for easy loading and unloading, folds down for storage or storms, and installs into a supplied ground sleeve for a secure, semi-permanent setup. It ships ready to assemble in three main components with lines already attached so you can get it working fast.
How much laundry will fit on this umbrella clothesline?
The 30 vinyl lines add up to 210 feet of total drying length, enough for sheets, towels, and multiple loads of everyday garments. Lines are arranged in parallel on a rotating aluminum head so you can reach each line without moving around the pole.
- 30 vinyl clotheslines totaling 210 feet of hanging space
- Fits bulky items like queen sheets and bath towels across multiple lines
- Rotating top gives 360° access for easier loading and unloading
What materials and durability features does it have?
The pole is galvanized steel and the umbrella arms are galvanized aluminum, both treated to resist corrosion for outdoor use. Plastic lines and durable connectors reduce wear on garments and simplify upkeep compared with rope lines.
- Galvanized steel post resists rust and provides a stable base
- Aluminum top with corrosion-resistant finish for long life
- Plastic vinyl lines designed to resist stretching and mildew
How is the unit installed and stored when not in use?
Installation uses the included plastic ground sleeve, which should be set in concrete for best stability. The top folds down and the pole can be removed from the sleeve so you can store the unit or protect it in bad weather.
- Recommended hole: 8–12 inches diameter, 20 inches deep with gravel and concrete base
- Ground sleeve anchors the unit and allows the pole to be lifted out when not needed
- Top pivots and folds flat for compact seasonal storage or winter protection
Will this clothesline save space and is it easy to use day-to-day?
The umbrella design offers a lot of drying area in a small footprint, and a single-action open/close mechanism streamlines daily use. Because the head rotates, you can stand in one spot and turn the lines toward you, which speeds laundry tasks.
- Single-action open/close for quick setup and takedown
- Rotating head reduces bending and reaching while hanging clothes
- Compact folded profile when removed from the sleeve
Who this product is for: homeowners, gardeners, and apartment-yard renters who prefer energy-saving air drying and want a robust, low-maintenance outdoor system with large capacity. It suits anyone looking for a long-lasting, no-rust umbrella dryer that can handle heavy linens and multiple family loads while folding away for seasonal storage.

Q: Can I leave this dryer outside year-round?
