Why choose Peggs
We believe the things you buy should last. So we design clotheslines and laundry accessories that are light, strong and built to keep going, year after year.
We use powder-coated aluminium with stainless steel fixings, so our clotheslines are light, strong and made to resist rust. That means no rust marks on your clothes, a common problem with cheaper lines and racks.
Light and strong, with a finish made for indoor and outdoor use.
Made to resist rust, so your washing comes off the line clean.
Carry it around the house or yard, even when it's loaded with washing.
A customer story
Over 20 years ago, a customer bought one of our original clotheslines. When they brought it in for a service, they didn't want a new one. They wanted to keep the one they loved.
So we replaced the fittings, gave it a bit of love and sent it home. It's now been in use for more than 23 years, and we hear stories like this often.
Our clotheslines have only improved since then. With a little care, a Peggs can last you a lifetime.
There's nothing to assemble and no tools needed. When you're done, it folds flat, so it's ideal for small spaces or travelling.
Our Handy Lines® aren't clothes airers. They're full-size portable clotheslines you can move wherever you need them. Many of our customers have replaced their fixed outdoor line with a Peggs.
Capacity depends on the model.
A portable clothesline should be an investment, not something you keep replacing.
Every Peggs Handy Line® comes with a 10-year warranty.
If something needs replacing, we can supply spare parts well beyond the warranty period.
You'll talk to someone who knows our products and wants to help you get the most out of them.
Our story, since 1995
For 31 years we've been making laundry easier. We started as a portable clothesline specialist and have grown into a full range of laundry products, but the goal hasn't changed. Here's how we got here, and what we've launched along the way.
Early 1980s
Patricia Roberts was living overseas in a small unit and needed a way to dry her washing without stringing lines across the living room. After plenty of trial and error, she created a portable clothesline that folded away when she didn't need it.
In 1995 she founded Mrs Peggs Handy Lines. For people in tight spaces, it was a game-changer. No more washing hung out of windows, across hallways or on airers that kept falling over.
A sleeker, more modern Handy Line® that quickly became a customer favourite for its strength and reliability.
2013 to 2019
In 2013, Mrs Peggs began working with Oswin Gegenhuber, an engineer who'd spent 20 years at Hills, to improve how the Handy Lines were made. The quality improvements were so significant that the two teams kept working together exclusively.
When Patricia was ready to retire in 2019, it felt only right to hand the business to Oswin.
2023
Oswin spent his first year learning the business and getting to know its customers. His vision grew beyond portable clotheslines into a full range of laundry products that make life easier.
With a few modern touches, Mrs Peggs became Peggs. From portable clotheslines to laundry accessories, we're building everything you need for easier laundry. Mrs Peggs would be proud.
