Which wood should be used, so clothes won't get torn?

I used treated 2X4s and so far they've been fine except for a little warping. I've been waiting for them to really dry out before staining them.

It is recommended that this is built with high quality lumber. There are many types that can be used in this application. Keep in mind that you can also stain, paint, or finish the wood to fit your style and application.

It's a water based latex. No fading at all in the direct Central Florida sun. It was painted prior to assembly.

We used pressure treated 2 X 4's purchased at Lowe's and painted them. They are great!

nylon, for the tent and a canvas type material for the cot. For the money, buy any cot and throw a rope between two trees with a tarp over it. The cot seemed like a good idea, but the set-up and tear-down time and efforts other systems may be better. The best part about the cot-tent is the bug netting.

I use only plastic and they fit fine. This clothes hanger is sturdy and folds easily, I use it often.

I hung motorcycle leather jackets and chaps along with lots of medium weight clothing without a problem. The bottom is lined with cardboard but will hold shoes and boots. I think the wardrobe is a good value. I kept it in the garage. Assembly is another matter since you really need to pay attention to the directions, which were adequate and the parts labeled ok. Having two people works better since you need a third hand putting the wardrobe together.

I suggest UNDER 200 lbs as our ripped on both seams with my 225 lb husband. We sewed it up with a really strong thread and it is holding up so far.

I used it to wrap around dressers, and night stands to help protect and hold drawers shut while moving, including other items that I didn't want to get scratched or damaged. As long as the wrap isn't left on furniture for any extended period of time, there shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think that would be a good idea. The textile is light weight, woven and nylon or polymer-based. It's thicker than rip-stop nylon tarps are but it's loose knit would almost certainly result in fraying if cut. Unless of course you're good with an industrial sewing machine? The bound edges are heavy duty to resist the tensioning. You would have to replicate this if you were to cut it. I'd recommend just buying the smaller versions which are also available at your local home supply.

Wooden Table or any other table would be fine.. Best to have it elevated for ease of use.

We have always used the little wood bundles you get at the grocery store, but any wood will work it just has to be cut fairly small. We love it and used it all summer long and it is still in really good condition.

Wood, a little less than 5/8" diameter. That component is plenty strong enough. The netting will wear through first...if roughly used.

From previous customer - the best way for the fabric is to buy single or double bed sheets. You can use almost any fabrics you have in your house. I have used T-shirts for the Cat tent, used sheets with clouds for a roof, and different colors for what we were building, from boats to castles to umbrella's.

Thanks for your suggestion. That is a good idea. Do you think staples, or tape would work to secure the sides?

I would say any microfiber will do the job. I think you can also use swifter cloth's too.

You may be able to use nylon clothesline. My original line is still fine, but feels similar to general purpose nylon line.

I really appreciate your honest feedback. We need something sturdy and that can withstand a lot of abuse, so I'll keep looking. Thanks!

The sides are finished and should not fray unless cut. It was very easy to use staplegun to fasten to wood. If you need to add grommets to allow fastening to other material, fabric seems like it would work well. If you did choose to hem, it would be easy to sew any size hem (even very small) if you wanted to reinforce. But with uniform stretching and stapling, it should work well for your purpose. I had material up in AZ sun for 6 months and it is still like brand new.

It's wood with a grooved plastic covering which helps keep soft/slippery garments from sliding off.
