is it substantial enough for hours a day use?...my room is so small and I need something to hold up the canvases at times. Use Gorilla stretchers

I really haven't used mine much but it seems fairly sturdy. I don't think you'd want to put more than one canvas on it at a time though.

I have only been using it for a couple of months. The way it's constructed it appears that it will hold up well under heavy use. You are hitting into a net not a canvas that will ware. It's easy to set-up and take down. I'm not familiar with other nets but satisfied with this one.Hope I helped - Good Luck.

I have this funky old canvas background that I use that is at least 15lbs. I wouldn't push it much more than that, probably could do 20lbs. I would make sure that the weight is very evenly balanced.

The application I used it for holds a 6" x 8" section of a 1x6 to the wall and has done so for a while now with no sign of failure. However, this is indoors. I would imagine it would work fine for a while but would dry out eventually, though this Velcro is tougher than the typical stuff you find in a craft store.

Hi there I use it for a much larger painting ,high up on a living room wall and a very dark colors painting....so unfortunately it is not strong enough, but we still love it.we also use it for a smaller brighter painting in the dining room and there it is fine. So I believe it should be ok for yours...

I'd say no, you'd have to get a case made for that one but since this is about 36" long, there is no too for much stretching. Sorry about that.

I truly am not able to answer in ounces, but it is not a flimsy canvas. I find it comparable to a Fredericks pre-stretched canvas that can be purchased at Hobby Lobby etc. I use the roll in 8 foot sections to paint backdrops for my photographic rental-studio. I did not stretch the canvas, simply painted it while tacked to the wall. I have taken them down, rolled them, and rehung the canvases several time without any problem. I hope that helps.

It is not as thick as the regular painting canvas a person would purchase at a craft store, but I did use it to paint on. I used plain acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium. I'm currently using it as a rug. I heard of others using regular wall paint and hanging them as curtains. If you want high quality, this probably is not your best option. However, for the price, I would try it. Worse case scenario would be to use it as a drop cloth or start a different project:)

Yes and no. If you don't stretch it, it will work. If you stretch it? It will collapse the frail integrity of guipure when in tries to retain original Un - stretched shape

I'm sure they would but it's pointless to buy just the canvas. Your only dropping the price by like 2 or 3 bucks. The canvas is what's expensive. Might as well just buy it and use the posts to make a vegetative room or clone room get twice the enjoyment for your money

Depends. I'm not a ballet student and use the barre for stretching to classical music and dvds including basic ballet warm-ups moves. I'm not using it for any cardio-burn-your-fat sort of stuff--simply slower movements. This barre is good for me at 4 feet long with the 2 barres set at 30" and 40" high (the latter about waist high). A 3' long barre would work for me as well. If someone is stretching their entire leg out and she is taller then my 5'4", she may find it a little short because I can stand at one end, facing it, and hold onto the barre, place an outstretched, straight leg on either barre, and my leg just fits. This is a lightweight barre--I can move it around the room with one hand--and is not for pulling on or sitting on (not that we would sit on it, of course). I love mine because it is easy to move, is adjustable, stores by disassembling, and is nice for balance and posture work if not full-weight support. Before this barre, I was using furniture that was wobbly and none too sturdy not to mention the threat of books possibly toppling onto my head. Everyday I find new ways to adapt this barre to my needs and I think you might be able to as well if you remember it is not bolted down and to be careful. Perhaps weighted bags on the feet might help to hold it better in place as I have seen on free-standing barres in ballet classes.

It would depend on what you put in them. They are not HEAVYWEIGHT canvas ... But good quality for their size.

I have never used it to hold up any wall hanging. My experience with this product makes me very hesitant to use it for your intended purpose. The weight of the art work will be a big consideration. If you are willing to give it a try, you would be a experienced source of information for the next potential user. Good Luck.

I really don't know if I would use it for everyday. We bought it for our grandsons to use (4 and 5) on occasional visits overnight. It works great for that purpose. For everyday for 5 years I would get something with a little more support. I have to constantly remind them not to jump on the beds. I hope this helps.

I don't use it on a daily basis - only use it when I need to "dress-up" - so I can't really say how it will hold up with daily use. Howeverit's so reasonably priced if it only lasts a couple of months, it might still be worth it.

I believe that this staple gun is perfect for stretching canvas. The power level is adjustable for the material and it shoots easily. It's the most versatile gun that I have used in thirty years.

I don't feel like I gave up a thing....My desk is small 11x11 and I wanted room for seating and a grill too (I always want it all!!). I bought a string hammock without a frame to save space, and it has been great for reading, tanning, and as a porch swing. I usually use it alone, but both my significant other and I are pretty medium sized people and we've been on it together with no catastrophes. This is my first season with it, but I love it and consider it the best purchase I've made in terms of hours of enjoyment for the dollar (my definition of value!)
