Why would I need a 15m rope?

This is useful when you are positioning the clothes airer away from the wall or if you have high ceilings. In this case it’s advisable to also buy an additional double pulley.

When do I need an extra double pulley?

When you are positioning your airer in a larger room and away from the wall. The extra pulley will keep the rope close to the ceiling and provide a good angle down the wall to the cleat. Please see diagram on assembly instructions. (If you are using wall brackets you will need 3 wall brackets if you order an extra double pulley)

How do rubber grippers help?

These prevent your wooden slats from sliding. They are easily fitted to each end of every wooden slat by pushing them up to the metal rackends. You can even put them on the inside of the rack ends so they are less visible. Available in black only.

Wall Brackets?

Fix to the wall instead of the ceiling with our bespoke wall brackets. You would normally require 2 brackets but 3 if an additional double pulley is needed for larger rooms. For more information see the Wall Bracket TAB under the ADD TO BASKET. A black airer will come with black brackets as standard. A white airer will come with white brackets as standard. If you are ordering a coloured airer please let us know which you would prefer.

  • Strong wooden ready assembled brackets in black or white
  • Suitable for our Popular and Clothesmaid airers
  • Your pulleys will be pre-fitted to these brackets when you order a Clothesmaid or Popular airer.
  • These brackets do NOT include wall fixings. This is because walls vary and require different fixings.

  • Wall Brackets priced individually at £15.99 each

Wall Bracket Technical Specification:

  • Bracket Height: 33cm

  1. A Stephens, Ireland –

    I’m delighted with my new Popular airer and the very clever wall brackets that meant we were able to install it in a room with a concrete ceiling. Both are lovely quality and Jonathan was very helpful throughout the ordering process.

  2. Joshua P, Winchester –

    I’m so pleased with my purchase, it has paid for itself in only a few months. I have recommended to my friends.
    Thanks

  3. Miranda F, Sussex –

    Really great, i’ve been using it to dry flowers on. Photo to follow. Best, Miranda x

  4. Tony S, Chipping Norton –

    One of the most used things in the house. The tumble dryer is almost redundant. Happy days

    I have found it excellent for a small space such as mine. So much so that I’m thinking of getting one for my girlfriend.

The Popular is our space saving drying rack

A superb workhorse, this hanging airer is made from traditional solid cast iron rack ends and high quality pinewood slats. The slats will come finished to a high standard and are untreated for those delicate laundry items.

This space saving drying rack has a low profile so when fully retracted takes up only 8 inches (20cm) of space in the ceiling void. This clearance height will avoid most doors.

The Popular can also be wall fitted when ceiling fitting is not an option using our special Wall Brackets (see tab above). You simply order the brackets with the airer and leave the rest to us.

The Popular

Its low profile contemporary design suits any room

The rack ends, which are 36cm wide and 10cm high come in a variety of classic colours with matching cast iron pulleys and wall mounted cleat.

This low profile designed ceiling mounted drying rack comes with 10m long traditional rope made from high quality cotton sash cord.

The Popular

Quality fittings and 6 colours to choose from

The single and double pulleys are high quality cast iron with highly durable nylon wheels. Also included is a matching cast iron wall cleat and fixings

Your order will arrive with everything you need in the box, including fixings, to get your ceiling mounted airer system utilising the trapped warm air in your ceiling space.
