I tightened up a saggy rotary drier line last year. Just undo the final knot and pull it taut starting at the centre.

Make sure it's not so tight that you can't open and close the drier, though or you've wasted a bit of time! DAMHIKT

done that... went saggy again in no time. I also did manage to do so it wouldn't close :smile:

We (or rather my eldest with the promise of a few quid) did ours using heavy duty steel-cored line, starting in the middle, I believe. No problems with stretching.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Mine was so old that all the old line perished due to the weather. I 're strung it about 3 years ago and it's fine. However the clips that the line clip into have perished now, so I will have to buy a whole new line soon.
