Hello All,

Wanna seek for opinion on drying rack.
My balcony is quite small in size, and the traditional drying rack will be space consuming.
Would like to reserve the place for some light planting & coffee table.

Anyone of you use this kind of wall mounted drying rack?
Is that practical & lasting?

If yes, any good model/brand to recommend ah?


Thanks!

Your wall can tahan or not

Not too sure that's why asking...
But brick wor.....

Good luck then hang on brick wall

try this?

Do you have similar experience if the brick wall can last such weight?

Will have a look, thanks!

Depends on what you want to dry...if too heavy. It won't last. This is because the screw points are all very close together. The weight will be distributed to the packed screw points in that particular area only

It depend on type of fasterner you use. But the kind unlikely to use heavy duty fasterner

I have this. DONT buy!

The pulley handle will putus after 1-2 years. I was not even rough when using it. Now I cant control the height of the hanging bar anymore.

those comments are written a few days after the seller installed for them so of course you wont read any negavtive reviews. I used it after 1 year plus and suffered this mishap.

Buy this. Good thing is after your clothes are dry...you can push the rack back into the wall. It doesnt take up any floor space at all.

I never use it. Maybe get those electric type one (my friend is using, not the one in the link)

I installed this at my yard area (condo). Not sure ts's balcony has space for this type.

send a photo of your balcony for us to evaluate how to advise you

not user-replaceable/servicable?

nope.

Last I was in a condo I just got a cheap ikea drying rack. I only put next to my balcony cos it cant even fit but at least it can dry my clothes

This type in use at my condo (from previous owner era, and we also used it for over a decade) should be ~20 years now and still going strong.

Basically it mounts using some sort of sleeve anchor, which easily tahan few hundred kg each, but sleeve anchor in brickwall must be SPACED out from each other + positioned inside enough from edges, else cannot tahan. There is some issue with brickwall as bricks are not 100% solid, they have holes and voids in the bricks (depending on pattern), and also length of anchor need to be long enough to account for the first 1cm or so is "useless" plaster.

It is also recommended to use a SDS rotary hammer if you are on concrete wall. SDS rotohammer drill straight and true "circle" whereas impact drill with "toy hammer" tend to snake (not straight) and/or makes oval holes which reduce the ability of the anchor.
