Does the clothesline have to be made of a rope/line material, or could it be made of wire?

I think a wire would count as a line.  Might want to think about if it would rust and stain the clothes....

I finished my recent upcycling project. I will attempt to apply it to this BB. It's a little bit "outside the box" so if that means it's ineligible for this BB, I understand, however I believe it fulfills the requirements.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
 - install a permanent clothes line
     - at least 30 feet of line - see pictures 4-7, I measured 39 feet

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must provide:
  - a picture of the materials for installing the clothes line - pictures 1 and 2
  - an in progress picture halfway through the installation - picture 3
  - an action shot of clothes hanging on the clothes line that is obviously more than 30 feet long - pictures 4 and 8
  - OR a 2-minute video of you doing this

I had an old hose and lots of what I believe is galvanized steel fencing (I'm not sure, it was here before me). It's an ideal location for drying clothes and takes up no additional space (something we have little of here in Japan). I cleaned the hose and cut a line down the entire length of it. Then I wrapped the hose over the edge of the fencing to protect clothes hung from being torn by the jagged edges of the fencing. The hose is held on with old and re-used twist-ties. I managed to use most of the length of the hose. I think it was a 50 ft hose.

The total length of line is about 12 meters or 39 feet and some change.

I included two photos, including one with a measuring tape that you can use to get an idea for length.

I put up this clothesline in the laundry room. Three lines 10.5 or so feet long.
