Clothes Lines & Pegs

A clothesline and a good supply of pegs are among the most underrated garden and utility essentials. At the DIY Hardware Store, our clotheslines and pegs range covers the line materials, tensioning hardware, and peg types needed to set up a reliable outdoor drying line that handles the British weather without stretching, fraying, or failing.

Plastic-coated wire and braided nylon are the two main clothesline materials. Coated wire gives minimal stretch and maximum longevity for a fixed, permanent line. Nylon braided rope is softer, more flexible, and gentler on delicate fabrics, and suits both permanent and temporary setups. Both need to be tensioned properly between fixing points - line tensioners and eye hooks at each end allow the line to be pulled tight and adjusted over time.

Traditional wooden and plastic spring pegs both have their advocates - wood is kinder to fabric and more environmentally considered; modern plastic pegs in quality UV-stabilised materials offer greater longevity outdoors.
