Yes the cover can withstand rain, hail and sun, however please be aware that for winds in excess of 40km per hour which is strong winds then the cover should be removed to protect both cover and clothesline (Please go to WIND RATINGS in FAQ).
The CLEVACOVER solves the two most annoying problems related to the use of outdoor clotheslines, namely
- Damage from the harsh sun
- Clothes being rewet by the rain
The elements no longer dictate when clothes need to be removed from the line. Considering the substantial cost of clothing and linen hung on clotheslines, the CLEVACOVER will pay for itself many times over by preventing the most detrimental deterioration of the garments such as;
- Colour fading from the sun
- Colour dilution from the rain
- Fibre deterioration from sun and rain
- Savings through reduced use of the clothes dryer
- Airborne contaminants including
- Bird and bat droppings
- Foliage fallout
· No, air dries clothes – you could put your clothes in an air tight container and place out in the sun – the clothing would still be wet a week later, however placing your wet clothing under a CLEVACOVER clothesline cover while it is raining and no sun but with air blowing around, your clothes will dry.
