Coastal Clotheslines® began with a simple frustration based on poorly made clotheslines, often short-lived and destined for landfill.

For this exact reason, Coastal Clotheslines was founded and created in 2016. Determined to offer a better alternative, co-owner David designs architectural stainless steel clotheslines. Due to a direct response to coastal environments, harsh weather and long-term durability only 316 marine grade stainless steel is used.

Backed by an aircraft structures fabrication trade and a passion for considered design, our team applied precision stainless steel engineering to an everyday household product. The goal was simply to create beautiful Australian-made clotheslines that perform in harsh environments and last for life.

Ultimately, Coastal Clotheslines products are used in homes, architectural projects and landscape designs across Australia, particularly in coastal regions where corrosion resistance matters most.

However not all clotheslines are designed for salty air, humidity and harsh Australian conditions. As a result every Coastal Clotheslines product is manufactured using 316 marine grade stainless steel, a material trusted in marine, architectural and high-corrosion environments. It withstands harsh heat and extreme weather conditions.

Our clotheslines are designed to:

• resist corrosion in coastal conditions,
• withstand cyclonic force winds,
• minimise waste based on long-life material choices,
• suit architectural homes and compact spaces,
• and provide a durable alternative to bulky framed clotheslines.

As seen here in Avoca Beach, beach houses to urban balconies and under-eaves spaces are elevated. Coastal Clotheslines products are designed to integrate seamlessly into classic & modern Australian architecture.

Sustainability is not an afterthought at Coastal Clotheslines. Instead, it is the basis of the manufacturing process and company ethos from the very beginning.

Because of this, every stainless steel clothesline follows clear principles:

• Made from recycled 316 stainless steel flat bar,
• Designed to remain within a circular stainless steel economy once produced.
• Manufacturing waste fully recycled,
• Production powered by solar energy,
• Handmade in Australia,
• Free from plastic, welds, and powder-coated components.

Across the entire range, stainless steel cables, terminals, and fittings maximise longevity and reliability. This focus on durability, recyclability, and a lifetime guarantee ensures products remain in use for decades rather than becoming landfill after a short lifespan.

Coastal Clotheslines works with homeowners, architects, builders, landscape architects, interior designers and stylists who value durable, functional and visually refined outdoor products.

• Under-eaves installations,
• Balconies and compact courtyards,
• Drying rooms,
• Laundry spaces,
• Coastal homes,
• Country designs,
• and architectural landscapes.

Hence, unlike traditional framed clotheslines, minimalist stainless steel designs maximise usable space while complementing classic and contemporary architecture and outdoor living.

Multiple award winning Byron Bay builders have supported Coastal Clotheslines since 2016, including:

Heanes Built | J Builds | ALYK Builders | Greg Lyon Constructions| Morada Build | Belcon Constructions | Webber Build | Sanctuary 28 | Verdecon | Atlanta Building

and many more over the past decade. Embraced by the building industry Australia wide, Coastal Clotheslines are seamlessly integrated into thousands of home designs. The range of clotheslines have been specified by an incredible array of architectural practices including:

Polly Harbison Design | Davis Architects | DFJ Dominic Finlay Jones | Tim Ditchfield | Those Architects | Workroom Designs | Templeton | Clare Cousins Architects | Breathe

Coastal Clotheslines meet the requirements of the NCC (National Construction Code). Resulting in ideal outcomes for the NSW Sustainable Building Index (BASIX) and the Victorian Building Regulations 2018 (ResCode). Therefore clothesline designs are installed in narrower side passages, a Coastal Clothesline attribute.
Due to credits awarded for outdoor clothes drying lines, energy efficiency is achievable. Even more so in multiple occupancy developments for communal laundry and drying zones. Each clothesline delivers on:

• extreme durability,
• fabricated from recycled material,
• waste reduction during manufacturing,
• designed for smart clotheslines in narrow spaces, and
• allowing for energy-efficient clothes drying under eaves.

As always, environmentally responsible clothes line manufacturing practices align with the future of Australian building and design.
Thus resulting in the Coastal Clotheslines mission continuing towards recognised sustainability certification.

Every Coastal Clotheslines product is handmade in Australia with a focus on craftsmanship, reliability and longevity.
Based on this, Coastal clothes lines are frequently selected for homes seeking practical long-term alternatives compared to landfill destined products.

Thus allowing customers to choose from stainless steel clothesline kits online or to contact us for custom solutions tailored to difficult spaces and architectural projects.

Delivered Australia wide, from coastal homes to country properties and urban developments, helping Australians capture the sun, reduce energy use and minimise landfill with products designed to last.
