We have a clothes line in the garage which is good for all year round for the most part. In the summer it's beautiful and warm in there so clothes can dry really quickly (brick garage). As it gets colder it's surprising warm in there still for the most part of winter, theres a few weeks maybe months where you stuggle to get them dry out there.

I also use the little air dryers for the kids stuff and or nappies. With 3 kids we constantly have clothes around the house.

We have the dryer also and i use it for nappies mainly in the colder weather and try and use it at night only. I sometimes use it also just to finish of the clothes that were only the line.
