A clothes drying apparatus mounted to a building structure (e.g., a ceiling, wall, or floor) and including a slider track coupled to the building structure, and a frame (e.g., at least two frames) secured to the slider track for sliding between a stored position and an extended position. The frame is pivotable relative to the building structure. For example, the frame can be secured to the slider track, and the slider track can be pivotable relative to the building structure. Preferably, the slider track includes an inner member coupled to the building structure and an outer member coupled to the frame. The apparatus can further include transverse brackets supporting the slider track. For special mounting situations, the apparatus can further include longitudinal brackets supporting the transverse brackets and/or a back mounting bracket at least partially supporting the transverse brackets.
