Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install the Retractaway 50 post-to-post?
Yes. This model supports Post-to-Post configurations as well as Wall-to-Wall, Wall-to-Post, or Post-to-Wall depending on your needs.
Why does the line sag in the middle?
Due to the extreme 10m length, a natural sag when loaded with wet washing is normal and ensures tension is safely managed.

The tension lever is located on the right-hand side when facing the product.

The Austral Retractable can handle everything from cot sheets right up to super king sheets, so it is a great option for larger household items as well as everyday washing.
