Suspended clothing drying racks
These racks are similar to ones that hung over the coal range. This new rack is made of aluminum, (for lightness and strength) with plastic coated clothes line so you can peg the washing on the line. Size is 2m long (so can hang bed sheets) x1m -5 lines. Can be used indoors (hangs 100mm from ceiling) or outdoors (carport, garage, under a deck) Pulleys, ropes and hooks are included, all you need is a drill to drill the holes for the hooks.
Pick up in Hokitika or delivery by arrangement. $160. Compare this price to those on line (start at $370 and only half the size) The picture shows a rack under a carport and is slightly larger than the one offered
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
