We’ve had some feedback recently from customers who just cannot believe that our drying racks can hold as much as they can.  Comments that range from “there is no way that 3-Tier can hold a pair of wet jeans” to questions about the strength of the Expanding Indoor Clothesline’s (EIC) ability to stand up to a load of wash, including sweaters.  We are hear to finally set the record straight and let you know a few important things about Hills’ Drying Racks and why they stand out from the competition:

• They are one-piece construction – there are no joints to fail.
• They are meant for indoor drying, but of course can be used outside in good weather…this is not to say that a decent wind would not take them for a ride and blow them over.  Regular outdoor drying can be accomplished with one of the four other types of clotheslines we offer (Rotary, Folding Frame, Retractable, Portable).
• They can definitely stand up to weight…our family of six, including a 6′5″ male and all of his XL size clothes, has the ability to hang wash confidently on these racks.  We’ve hung everything from wet jeans, to sweaters, to a load of bath towels, including a small rug on one of the wings of the EIC.

We’ve had many people come to us excited to see the EIC because they have used the same type of rack in Europe and didn’t think they could get something like it here.  We recently had a customer who ordered the Hills EIC contact us to say that these racks are similar, but the Hills is a superior product.  It is built much sturdier and the wires for hanging are steel wire, not plastic lines like the other across the Atlantic.  There are products available that look similar to the Hills product, but they can’t match it.  The quality and durability is in line with everything else Hills does in the manufacture of their items.  We are proud to carry them and bring them to the US for you.

The image below is of a load of wash on our EIC, with Gary’s wet jeans hanging on one wing.  Not a problem.  The room with our wood stove is perfect for drying the laundry during cold months…clothes dry quickly and much needed moisture is added to the air in the house.  Living in the Northeast makes line drying an inside job most days during the winter months.

We invite you to put the products to the test.  They are not your typical drying rack available in big box stores.  They are not made so that they will break in a year or two and you’d have to buy a new one…they are made so that you can rely on them for years of drying.  And we are here to help with your decision or if anything comes up after your purchase.
