Hi SwiftDry We haven’t had our clothes line for very long…and we are sad that one line has already rusted off and fallen down. This is not what we expected. Can you please confirm what you would expect for longevity of the supplied lines? We have the steel lines with plastic coating... but they are not sealed at the ends so all have an element of rust at each end. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this. We can provide images of the lines if helpful. Looking forward to hearing from you. Jono and Katie Smith 2 Appletree Lane, Kerikeri, 0230
