Think they mean a fixed pulley line, with the big pulleys like this.
I already had a 12' scaffolding pole in the ground and a wall at the other end, so I rigged up a Heath Robinson mixture of cheap ebay stainless pulleys and a cotton line with tensioner.
Nice thing is that you can stand in one spot and peg clothes on, move it along and repeat. I added a vertical line/pulley to one end so I can hoik it up above head height once done, but it does get a bit hard to move when fully loaded and tensioned up, which I guess is the reason for the large diameter on those^. You need something to join spread the load between the two halves of line too, proper ones are not cheap and you need a few, but more pulleys and carabiners worked ok.
Not sure what the american style ones are like sorry? We have this style currently:
But its all metal so has lasted since the 80's by the look of it.
@hugo7 fair enough
