How will the Handy Line help me improve power consumption?
The Handy Line will effectively and efficiently deliver an environmentally friendly solution that will reduce your power bills as well as reduce the carbon footprint of your household.
Will the Handy Line blow over in windy conditions?
The Handy Line has a unique stance and is very sturdy but common sense has to prevail as it is free standing. If it is very windy it is advisable to place the Handy Line in an enclosed area.

Can the Handy Line handle the extreme conditions we experience in Broome?
The Handy Line is built to handle tough weather conditions. It is designed for durability - every nut, bolt and washer is stainless steel, the main bar, cross bars and legs are powder coated (oven treatment) aluminium and the clothesline is pvc covered plaited fiber (not plastic coated wire) making the product weather and rust proof. The patent holder, Patricia Roberts, is still using the original prototype which is now over 16 years old and left out in the weather all year round, proving its quality and durability. The Handy Line is also used by people who travel and camp.
