David2708, I agree, I know it sounds harsh and snobbish, but the look of clothes hanging all over balconies is a bad look. So long as the washing cannot be seen and whatever drying rack is being used is below the height of the balcony I don’t see a problem, however there are many smart apartment blocks being built with glass balconies that are spoilt once most of the occupants being owners or tenants start to hang their washing on the balconies.
