This has been well worth the purchase price. It was easy to install. It is great being out under the cover hanging out clothes even if it is lightly raining, and the relief from being out in the sun has been much appreciated. I can now also leave my washing basket out under the cover, instead of bringing it inside to protect it from the sun.
I have given it 4 rather than 5 stars as I find that I am going to need to find a way of adjusting the back, as it does not hold taut in the centre and water builds up on the back half during rain. (This may be a user error.)
My clothes have stayed dry during a rainy period, apart from a bit on the bottom of trousers that had been pegged on the end - I will make sure longer items are placed towards the middle if rain is expected and this won’t be a problem.
Quality appears to be good.
My clothesline is 2 metres wide and 1.49 metres deep. I bought the 1.8 metre size.
It is a great cover just wish for the price it would last longer in this harsh climate of ours .

I put the cover on my wall fold-down washing line yesterday and was a little uncertain how it would perform. It was a still Spring day in Melbourne and I was worried that by blocking the direct sunshine, the cover would prevent my washing from drying. All was OK, although a little slower drying time than expected. However, today was a typically confused Melbourne day with warmish wind and threatening clouds and the cover just paid for itself! I could happily leave the washing out knowing that I didn't need to sprint home to rescue it. Amazing!
Side benefit was that I found it more pleasant hanging out the washing when I was in the shade.
Hello SR,
So thrilled to hear about your experience with the wall fold-down washing line cover! It's always a bit nerve-wracking trying something new, especially with Melbourne's unpredictable weather. But it sounds like your cover passed the test on a still Spring day and truly paid off today with the windy and cloudy conditions. No more laundry rescue missions! ♂️ Plus, the added bonus of enjoying the chore in the shade is a win-win. Thanks for sharing your awesome feedback!
Cheers,
Millicent

Thanks!
The cover is not wide enough for a 1800 line
Good quality product - fitted as expected and works effectively.
I have had a Clevacover before and it was automatic to get another one once we stopped travelling around Australia. Love the fact that it doesn't matter if I Ieave my washing out AND I don't need to worry about fade lines on our dark clothing.
