Dry Your Clothes in the Fresh Air!

Bought a circular clothes line the "Brabantia"brand also bought a spike that goes in the ground.
It doesn't have to be cemented in,all though you could.Have used several years with good effect.When finished take laundry off line and put clothes pins in bag then fold clothes line up.
The pole part pulls out of the spike driven into ground and store it away till ready to use again.
Clothes smell good and last much longer and I enjoy using it over the dryer.
I have been using a clothesline all my life, 80+ years, and am not about to change. It's good for the clothes and environment, and smells SO good, to say nothing of saving money!!! In winter I hang the clothes in the basement. I have a dryer, but it's only used in emergencies, or for guests who don't have the time to wait for air drying.
Been clothesline drying washables for the better part of 40 years now, and having raised 6 children in old-fashioned cloth diapers, my clothesline was a blessing! Cloth diapers and rubber pants hung on the clothesline from spring to fall at our house!
I had bought a paracord plastic clothesline for indoor and outdoor uses which is the exact measurement of 7/32-inch diameter with a length of 100 feet. It is the correct thickness it should be to hold clothespins without any slipping, sliding, or coming undone. But, the clothesline must be tightened really good from one end to the other end or it may sag, droop, or stretch to the ground overtime when a heavy blanket or comforter is draped over.
I live in Houston where it is very humid. I have to replace my clothes line almost every year because it gets moldy. It's also about 125' that goes from my garage to way up in a tree. Are there any suggestions on what type of rope I can use that I don't have to change so often?
