Frequently Asked Questions

How much washing can this drying rack hold?

The Alston Wall Mounted Drying Rack has a total bearing capacity of 12kg, which is suitable for a standard load of laundry. With 7 drying rods, you get the equivalent of 17.5 feet of hanging line space. Each individual rod can safely hold up to 2kg of wet or dry clothes, so you can distribute your washing evenly across the rack for optimal drying.

Will this drying rack work on my apartment balcony in Australia?

Yes, absolutely. The Alston is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, making it perfect for Australian balconies, patios, and outdoor spaces. It's constructed from durable space aluminum and ABS plastic, which are weather-resistant materials suitable for Australia's variable climate. Whether you're in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth, this rack will perform reliably on your balcony. Just ensure your wall can support the 12kg weight capacity when fully loaded.

How long does delivery take and what's the cost?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on the Alston Wall Mounted Drying Rack, so there are no hidden delivery charges. Standard delivery typically takes 5-10 business days to most Australian addresses. If you need the rack urgently, contact Yarra Supply directly to check express delivery options.

What if I'm not happy with the drying rack after I buy it?

Yarra Supply provides a 30-day returns policy, so you can return the drying rack within 30 days if you're not satisfied. This gives you plenty of time to test it out in your home and make sure it meets your needs before the return window closes. Check the return conditions on the Yarra Supply website for full details.

How much space does this take up when folded away?

When fully extended, the rack measures 85.5cm wide x 37.5cm deep x 10.7cm tall. When folded flat for storage, it compresses down to just 85.5cm x 6cm x 10.7cm, making it incredibly space-efficient. At only 1.6kg, it's light enough to store in a cupboard, behind a door, or in a laundry closet when not in use. This makes it ideal for small apartments, flats, and homes where space is at a premium.

Is this better than using a clothes dryer for drying clothes?

The Alston drying rack offers several advantages over electric dryers, especially for Australian households. It's energy-free, so you'll save on electricity bills—important during hot Australian summers when you want to reduce power consumption. It's gentler on fabrics, extending the life of your clothes, and it's perfect for delicate items that shouldn't go in a tumble dryer. At $51, it's also a budget-friendly investment compared to purchasing or running an electric dryer. Many Australian families use both—the drying rack for everyday items and fine fabrics, and reserve the dryer for towels and bedding.

What tools and skills do I need to install this on my wall?

Installation is straightforward and designed for DIY. The package includes all necessary screws, expansion plugs, and mounting hardware, plus clear step-by-step instructions. You'll need a basic drill and a spirit level. The rack mounts securely to your wall, and installation typically takes 15-20 minutes. If you're not comfortable drilling into walls, a handyperson or local tradesperson can install it quickly and affordably.
