are the bars too thick for my old fashioned clothes pins?? I need these, as it's often windy here..(I use the rack outside)

I would say yes. I have plastic replicas of the old wood hinge style clothespins. It barely fits on the bar by itself and clothes would make it too tight. I fold the clothes over the bars so they are half on each side of the bar. I used it outside on occasion and nothing blew off. In strong gusts the whole rack can blow over. I think it is much stronger than the thin metal version.

I've used them (standard, old fashioned wood clothes pins) on light to/ medium weight items. Bath towels & heavy sweaters, not so good.

Yes, I would say the bars are too thick. I tried one of my spring loaded clothes pins on there and it was not a good fit. Sorry!

Probably yes too thick. Also if it is windy, this thing will collapse. This is more of an indoor thing, or maybe a sheltered porch.

The diameter is about 1/2". Some of my cloths pins attach easily and others barely fit the bars -- so, it depends on your particular clothes pins and the thickness of the clothes. Towels almost certainly, no; but a t-shirt or underwear, maybe.

yes these bars are too thick for that, I don't dry clothes on it only towels. If you want to dry clothes on a rack I'd recommend the metal racks (that has a protective plastic coating) that fold out. Those are great for drying clothes.

If you mean the ones without spring hinges, I doubt they will work but don't have any to test either.

Hi, I decided to look further at my rack after Reading the other responses. The other posters are right. I see that several of my dividers have popped out from the weight of my cookie sheets. So I think they're probably right it would not be a good idea.

Strongly suggest you did what we did...get some short rebar rods and pound them in along-side the legs. Then tether them to the legs with cable ties. No chance of winds blowing it over now.

The bars may be too long for something like that. It would be pretty sweet for sure though. You'd probably want to measure and plan out carefully before buying them.

It would not concern me to put 3/4 of wet jeans on these clothes hangers. They are sturdy, just don't put then outside in the wind, they will tip over and break.

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

I have had no problems with the plastic bars that you refer to. I prefer that they do have some flexibility in the wind as opposed to more rigid bars. Charley Engelking

Yes,in fact. There are two Velcro flaps that hold up the hanger, and fit over a wire closet bar. The flaps are very sturdy, and hold a lot of weight.

These are the weight for blouses, T-shirts and other tops. They will not hold up for long choral dresses or robes of some weight. I would use coated wooden suit hangers without the slack portion, unless you want to attach some other draping material with it.

These are great. I have them outside and keep a tarp over the yaks. I'm my garage I made up a homemade rack with bike rack hooks I got a Lowes. We have kept the yaks outside in the rack this past winter.

The hangers are the same thickness out to the ends. They won't bulge unless your garment does. Probably not ideal for something with padded shoulders or needing support as these are thin. Jackets: Only very light ones like a nylon windbreaker. The hangers flex and are not going to be happy with anything heavier than a standard shirt or blouse or light sweater. See my review for details.

The bar is too thin, so the fat gripz won't be gripping tight the bar. You can still somehow use them, but it's far from ideal.

I returned it. There was way to much sway. I will probably buy a new proper fitting rack

Those shelves are quite thick and extremely strong. I woudn't worry much unless you intend on keeping your barbells on it.

That's a awesome question lol. I think you may be bent over to much causing your elbows to dig through the pads which aren't toThick. They are inexpensive enough to try in my opinion. Just make sure you have room on your bars.

I haven't use them yet for any heavy duty stuff, just a couple canvas bags. The bars are strong metal with some sort of weatherproof coating. The end grips, that grip the roof rack, look pretty sturdy to me. Assembly was easy. If your boat is fibreglass it should be fine is my guess, but I'll defer to anyone with actual experience carrying one.

Yes. They hang on my rack, but it took some getting use to, as the holes are at an angle and took a little fanageling
