Pulley-style drying rack

esigned to dry laundry faster by taking advantage of the hot, dry air nearest, and build your own. Using scrap wood they had on hand, Garrett customized the design to fit their laundry space, using seven 42-inch pieces of cedar screwed to two pieces of steel—which they bent by driving over them (leaving the steel flat works, too). With pulleys and rope, their cost totaled about $50. Cathy says air-drying has not only reduced their electricity usage, but it’s also kinder to their clothes, so they last longer.
