When drying your laundry outdoors, instead of using pegs, hang as much washing on clothes hangers as possible. Separate the hangers using pegs to stop them gravitating together.
Using hangers in this way has 4 advantages:
Also those peggy hangers that are meant for your smalls can also be used for larger items such as small towels and pillow cases. This also frees up space and helps to bring your washing in quickly

I have been doing this myself, for quite a while. It really is faster when bringing the laundry in, and I can hang many things right in the closet. Laundry is drudgery to me, so anything that makes it easier is welcome!
My problem with that is it leaves shoulder marks from the hangers.
In response to comments about drying on hangers, I ALWAYS hang shirts, t-shirts, sweaters, etc. inside out and never use wire hangers. Trying to get the shoulder puckers out is almost impossible if you hang them right side out. Also, I never dry heavier sweaters on hangers. Throw them over your shower curtain rod, or clothes line.
I use ha gears that have been crocheted on to hang our good shirts on. I dont have a clothes line, so I hang them on an extra, empty shower curtain rod.
It all depends on what type of hangers you use. I try to use those wide rounded suit hangers for jumper/sweaters to keep them in shape
Hang tops inside out on hangers so when you put the item on, the pointy shoulders will be down.
Search amazon or eBay for wind proof clotheslines. Theyre usually around $5-$10 from us sellers, or as cheap as a dollar if you wait for it to be mailed from China. They are a plastic rope type clothesline that has hangers slots made into it.
I dry a lot of my clothes on hangers. Because they tend to drift together, I've found that tying loops in the clothesline every foot or so, and putting the hooks of the clothes hangers in the loops keeps my shirts, etc., permanently apart and makes for much faster drying.
