Just having a look & an "umbrella" clothes line seems to be an

Can't think of a better choice of words though?
The more modern collapsible ones are like that, I think you can change
the angle by changing the height of the centre support.
See https://www.theclotheslinestore.com.au/folding-rotary-clothes-hoist/
I'd prefer 'rotary' as they can rotate. But 'umbrella' is what the
Russians have chosen .. but they have not used it so the option is
there to use something else.
Arr they are called 'rotary' in the UK .. so I think 'rotary' may be best?

Note the attributes applicable too
clothes_dryer:foldable=*
clothes_dryer:portable=*
from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dclothes_dryer
These would suit the 'umbrella' types - tagged as
cloths_dryer=rotary
clothes_dryer:foldable=yes
The fordable attribute would not be easily spotted from imagery.
Thanks

HI,
I recently saw the shadow of one of these while mapping and
wondered how to map it. It did stand out.
Turns out the Russians have a tag for it …
amenity=clothes_dryer only some 300 uses world wide
clothes_dryer=umbrella bugger all of these world wide
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RU:Tag:amenity%3Dclothes_dryer
Must be millions of them in Oz. I think it needs to go into the
Australian Tagging Guidelines as a Australian English to OSM
translation … Some will say they don’t want private stuff mapped
in backyards, despite that people are mapping swimming pools and
tennis course in private backyards and then there are campgrounds
with hills hoist too.
Any thoughts/objections?
