Late to the party, but you might have found these folks useful https://www.gsproducts.co.uk/clear-coated-pvc-stainless-steel-wire-rope-7x7/ especially for their selection of fittings. The 3mm has been in service chez Ham Hall for around six years now.

I don't have one*. I've never had a washing line. We had a thing in our Edinburgh kitchen that threatened our heads that we called the Decapatron.

*oh big fat lie, looking up the garden we have one of those rotary things, never used, and angled like a bloke who's spent the day (and most of his other days) in Wetherspoons.

I see that I'm too late, but my suggestion would have been to cobble together a device something like this: https://www.force4.co.uk/item/Force-4/Jolly-Hooker-Mooring-Hook/HVD

I have one of those !  I did consider recommending it but decided it was probably a little too large to fit through the sheave.

It's what you use to cover your ostensibly clean washing with petril fumes and bird shit.

Disclaimer: during the recent heatwaveI have been making use of some guy rope strung between ye shedde and a useful hook thing on the corner of the house to dry some spare bedding during the few hours between the sun being in the right place and the BloodyStudents setting fire to whatever.

I too found out about GS  products  - here's another thing to do with stainless steel wire.

Jasmine Top


Jasmine Bottom



Growing rose across the window


And another rose


No ratty rotten bits of wood here at Chez Hedley. For info I used screw, spacing nut and washer for the smaller plants



The rose above the window is on the GS supplied M8 studs, I can tie the ladder onto the support and swing about on it!

I'm using their plain (non pvc coated) SS wire extensively in the allotment for cordon growing fruit trees, raspberry containment etc. Top tip: best (?) cut with a cold chisel.
