The original was made of plastic coated high strength poly line. This one is steel cable plastic coated. Not sure of the flexibility of it but will give it a try as the other is no longer available.

Perfect.

Our fantastic Breezecatcher, which we've had for about 10 years, needed a new cable. It had come originally with a nylon core, but this new line is actually a metal cable that is vinyl coated. It should last forever. We use our Breezecatcher every single time we do laundry, even in the winter if the sun is out and it's at least 40 degrees (we're in Virginia so it does get cold). It is the BEST EVER, fresh smelling clothes, free drying power, and it will fit many loads at one time. Nothing better! Plus, customer service is great.

I've been using Breezecatcher clotheslines since 2010. They're absolutely the best. We moved last year and some biodiesel accidentally got spilled on the clothesline somehow. It reacted with the plastic coating on the line and made it sticky. Biodiesel is notorious for this. It even once dissolved a motormount on our car where it spilled out of a fuel filter. Anyway, I finally committed to re-stringing the line and wish I'd done it sooner. Tom's youtube how-to video made it go smoothly. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to fix it! Thanks for all your help, Breezecatcher folks!

Very durable cable. I like my Breezecatcher clothesline a lot. Thank you!
