Bunnings Clotheslines vs Auckland Clotheslines

What's the difference between Auckland Clotheslines and Bunnings Clotheslines?

Traditional clotheslines are having something of a renaissance. With sustainability and eco-friendly living becoming ever more popular, opting for a clothesline to dry your laundry is both economical and environmentally responsible. While you can find clotheslines at big-box stores like Bunnings, there are compelling reasons to consider purchasing from a clothesline specialist like Auckland Clotheslines.

Here's why buying from us offers many advantages over a Bunnings clothesline when it comes to selecting the perfect washing line for your needs.

Expert guidance

One of the most significant advantages of buying your clothesline from us is the wealth of expert knowledge and guidance we offer. Having been in the industry for over 60 years, we know almost everything there is to know about the various types of clotheslines, including rotary, retractable, wall-mounted, and fold-down models.

When you buy a Bunnings clothesline off the shelf, it may not be the best fit for your home. We can come to your Auckland or Christchurch site to assess factors like available space, the quantity of laundry you need to dry, and the local climate, to recommend the most suitable clothesline for your needs. This free, no-obligation advice ensures you make an informed decision and don’t waste money on a clothesline that is too big or small. And if you’re building a Kainga Ora property or Greenstar/Homestar project, we can help you choose a clothesline that meets regulations.

Quality and durability

The Bunnings clothesline range is extensive, covering a range of quality levels and price points. While it’s great to have some low-cost options, the cheaper lines often contain more plastic components which are less robust. Because we know clotheslines inside and out, we have handpicked a range that we are confident will suit a variety of budgets and give you many years of trouble-free drying.

Installation services

Before you can use your new clothesline, you’ll need to have it correctly installed. Bunnings clotheslines don’t come with an installation service, although some branches will book a third-party installer for you. At Auckland Clotheslines, we offer full installation services and repairs in Auckland and Christchurch. We specialise in tricky installations and can handle odd-shaped or sloping sections, as well as large commercial installations. We can even take away your old clothesline for you.

Customer support

Bunnings offers a wide range of home improvement items, which makes them excellent generalists. But when you want help specifically with your clothesline, you can’t beat the support of a team with decades of experience in that one product. All Auckland Clotheslines’ full-size washing lines come with 10- or 20-year warranties.

Repairs and rewires

Before you buy a new clothesline from Bunnings or Auckland Clotheslines, check if it’s more economical to repair the line you already have. Just because it’s sagging and bending doesn’t mean it needs replacing. We can make it look new again with high-quality parts that will give you years of additional use. Repair services are available in Auckland and Christchurch. Not sure if your clothesline can be fixed? Give us a call and we’ll be happy to provide you with trustworthy advice.
