Protection cover for laundry drying

Completion date: Probably 2015

In Hong Kong, many people let their laundry to dry in the sun, and it is a common problem that the laundry get water dripping from air-conditioner of upper floors. 

I tried Velcro on a plastic foamy mat, but the wind blew away the whole mat TWICE on me (discovered in the morning, ugh)

So the 2nd version: I bought a clear plastic sheet, 3 feet or so (I forgot the size), from 家品屋 (Family House Store).  Two rows of holes were punched to accommodate the plastic snap buttons (one row for male buttons, one row for the female).  I installed the plastic sheet, By snapping the buttons together with the laundry line in between the two rows of buttons. 

The version I am using now is the 3rd version. It is longer at 6 feet. It was because I was told it was also good at protecting the clothes from light rain.

There are still outstanding problems: 

1. a moderate wind would bring the tail up. This problem was addressed in the 2nd version, but it did take a bit of effort to link the tail to the rack.  The most annoying thing was the nylon string I used deteriorated really fast, it became ugly probably in 2 weeks. 
2. The leveled poles cause the plastic to be droopy when there is rain water. 

Remark: Replacement every 2 years. 

Remark: I used a hand clamp for installing the buttons. Both the buttons and clamp were bought from Taobao online store. However, hand clamp requires a lot of strength to do. The plastic button colors do fade after a while. 

I would say this is one of the most original creations/inventions I did. Although I have seen other people used nylon canvas, but I think my creation is the easiest to install. And better-looking. And transparent. Also, it is easy to detach for washing anytime.
