Abstract: A clothesline assembly including an elongate chain, a pair of mounting strip members, and a pair of bracket members. The mounting strip members are preferably permanently secured to upstanding support structures such as walls. The amount of space between the mounting strip members substantially determines the length of chain that can be operably deployed therebetween. The mounting strip members are adapted to releasably receive the proximal ends of the respective bracket members. The respective distal ends of the bracket members are adapted to releasably engage links at opposite ends of the chain. Accordingly, the specific positions chosen for the placement of the bracket members on the mounting strip members substantially determines the height of the chain extending therebetween. Clothes to be dried are placed on conventional clothes hangers and the hangers are suspended from different links of the chain.
