Interesting question. While looking at my bog stats I noticed that title was used as search words that landed someone here. So I thought I would answer it! How did I hang mine? I used a pocket chart stand for one side, and my portable white board for the other.
You can see how it is draped across at the student's level. I liked using two items that had wheels, so I could stretch out the clothesline as far as the rope allowed, or made it as small as I needed it. Another option would be to use two student chairs. This was hung only when I needed it, this way I could customize the size based on the activity.
I did have a permanent clothesline hung in my room, about 8-12 inches form the ceiling. This I used to display the student's work.
You can kindof see rockets hanging from it above us. Sorry for the bad scribbles on the faces, but I do not have permission to post any of the kids pictures. I really wish I had known I'd need blog pictures one day...LOL. We used a simple metal loop that screws into the wall to attach that line. That is another option, if you have a big enough loop - just attach it to one spot on the wall, and use something moveable for the other side.
Bingo! You have a clothesline!
Such a great idea for limited space...it also makes it easier to hang something for a short person like myself. =)

Thanks Heather! My co-worker a couple years ago was 4'9", and i am only 5'4" - we were always looking for someone to help us with hanging things, as our room had really high ceilings!
