These days, we hardly hang clothes on strings to dry. This is usually in place of a standing laundry rack. Oh yes, I do this in hotel rooms, sometimes!
This is what we see in most of the HDB flats. It has been there for many many years; and has proven to be the best way to tap on the natural resource - "solar" energy to do the job. Outdoor laundry pole holders are the must-haves.
Over time, due to safety issue, it has improvised! Additional support structure were added so that the furthest end of the pole will be supported - reducing the chance of such poles being unintentional "killer litter".
Well, I think such structure definitely provides better support for those with weaker arms (or not so strong physically) who needs to handle the heavy poles (when loaded with the clothes).
In the recent years, for the newer apartments, it comes with racks that are fixed horizontally outside the windows. Now, we can hang the clothes directly on these poles!
Notice how simple practices has just evolved over the years - as we strive for continual improvements :)
