how much weight can each hook hold? how much can the whole bar hold? i'm using it for cast iron pots.

Well, I've got a set which includes 7 pieces of Cuisinart Tri-Pli All Clad plus a metal strainer and a rather hefty grilling pan. The weight would be a matter of what your wall can take - The bar and it's hooks are awesome and I'm confident would hold whatever you needed to hang: extremely sturdy, space efficient, not unattractive. I am extremely pleased with mine!

I don't know the exact weight limits on the bar or per hook, but I can tell you that I used mine for a regular set of pots plus 2-3 cast iron skillets. Just make sure you screw into studs and put the heaviest pots closer to the screws rather than the middle of the bar. If studs are hard to find or not spaced properly, you can mount a 2x4 on the wall and get that screwed into studs and then mount the bar to that. Not the prettiest solution but you could paint the wood black to mask it.

We use a set to hold a swing and another set for a trapese bar. I swing with my son together so that would be about 180lbs on the swing. Not sure how much they would fully support but we've used them quite a bit with that much weight.

I used them to hang some metal sculpture outside. I used 2 hooks and think it should support at least 7-8 lbs.

I haven't weighed the pots & pans I have hanging on this, but for about 6 months now it has successfully supported 2 cast iron skillets, 3 stainless steel skillets, 4 handled pots of varying sizes and 4 glass lids. I would just recommend making sure it's well anchored in the wall.

My 10Lb cast iron pot will hold 8 Fl. Oz. safely, Absolutely No More than 9 Fl. Oz.

I do not know the weight limit on the hooks themselves. In our car(s) they have held backpacks full of books and school stuff, as well as my computer bag. I'm guessing easily can hold 20lbs. if using both "appendages" of the one hook. I can not imagine what one would hang from these hooks that would be too heavy.

I bought it for my mother-in-law as a gift and she filled it with several heavy pots and pans plus a few wooden cutting boards. Just an estimate, but I think it easily holds 75 pounds and maybe more. It looks fantastic and is very sturdy. I would recommend getting some extra hooks for it.

Not sure how many pounds, but I would say at least 10 pounds on each arm. The hooks are kind of small, but are of high quality.

Don't remember there being a weight limit. it is very sturdy and I think would have no problem holding cast iron cookware. oh yes the top shelf can be used for storage I have pots and lids and a plant on mine. I LOVE my rack. I kid you not everytime someone comes into my kitchen the comment on it and how nice it is and ask where to get one.

I have two very large (14" and 12") very heavy stainless pans hanging from one hook without any stress whatsoever. I'm sure a large cast iron would be ok.

I don't know the actual weight limit, but I do have heavy pots successfully hanging on them.

I would guess the most weight I've put on these hooks is 20#. The hooks are very strong...I'd worry more about the (pull of the weight on the) rafter than the strength of the hook. Be aware though, the "lip" on the hook is not very tall. I would suggest using at least 2 hooks per tire. It helps keep the hook from "leaning" sidways.

I am not sure what the manufacturer would recommend, but I think that up to about 2-3 pounds you'd be okay. If you have that much weight, though, you probably need to use more than one hook. I think the heaviest thing I have hanging is probably about 1.5 pounds, and it's on 2 hooks.

I've bought a couple sets of these. Love them. I hang my kitchen pots an pans on them, so I'm nowhere near 50lbs per. However, I can't see any way they wouldn't be able to hold that much weight as long as whatever you're screwing them into can hold it. They're not going to bend or break. Still, you night want to test one in your garage first. Definiely screw into solid wood, even if in ceiling.

I have some stainless steel pots on mine. I would say maybe 10 to 15 lbs each. That's just a guess.

I think it holds up to 300lbs. It depends on size of pots to how much you can fit.

My hooks look different from these, the part that goes under the siding is curved more. I just use them for wreaths, etc. I would say maybe up to 25 lbs.
