Minky Homecare's Outdoor Retractable Clothesline is attached to the wall using a bracket. Whenever you're not using the line, you can quickly remove the reel and stow it for future use. The product also comes in a one-cable model. Cables are made from easy-to-clean PVC plastic, and all parts for mounting are included.
