Rick Steves Clotheline The Rick Steves Clothesline is made of triple-braided latex, so it stretches to make use of whatever space you've got available. And there's no need for clothespins - just wedge a corner of the clothes between the braids! Handy end loops and clips make for easy anchoring, this clothesline can even be used as a Tie-Down Line! Stretches to seven feet and holds up to 20 lbs of wet clothing.
