Is this a good option if I spray with rustoleum, use a few suction cups to help the pole from bowing, and don't have that many bottles?

Rachel, there is no need to spray it with rustoleum. Mine hasn't shown any indication of chipping or rusting at all and I have three teens, plus myself, who shower daily. Also, you can load it with bottles. We have the large discount-sized bottles on every shelf. No problems. As far as the pole bowing, I have had no issues with that either. This is a really sturdy shower organizer. I will post a picture of mine on the Amazon page so that you can see how full the shelves are!

Good morning. So far mine has held up well. No bowing, and no rust. Not sure that doing all that would be worth the time and effort. I also only have a few items in the 3 baskets. I left one off because I don't use it. Hope this helps. Take care...

Very sturdy and nice big shelves that hold large bottles. However, I have one of these for about 3-4 years and it is rusting, even after I sprayed it with rustoleum, but at this price just replace every 3 years or so. That's what I'm doing cause the other pole caddy options are not as sturdy or shelves are too small and more expensive.

I would mount with screws. If you live where it snows the suction cups will fall off.

I cannot answer theie of pole but I do have problems with mine tilting. Rebar reinforcement would be nice if it is hollow inside the pole.

The poles are good. I use this to hang an over flow of my dresses. But I did find I had to use electrical tape to keep the horizontal pole in place (so it doesn't slide off the supporting side poles). For the price I can live with it.

We have only used it for events and it has been great. Have not left it up for an entire season, so not sure how sunlight and moisture would affect materials for an extended period. With limited use, some poles have very small areas of rust which have not affect strength or appearance.

I had a support pole from another cover which I did not like so I used PVC pipe and built my own. It was easy and turned out to be very stable, stayed in place and supports the cover. If you would like more information about the design I would be happy to share information with you.

You bet. It is probably one of the best types of paint you could use if your stuff is getting rusty. It is a pretty flat paint though so you could use this as a base for a couple coats and then some nice shiny paint. Do that once and it will be good until you are pushing up daisies.

I simply twisted the threaded knob hard against the pole and friction keeps it in place. I imagine it would scrape the paint if it did twist. You could drill a hole in the pole if it wish to hold it that one position.

I used liquid nails to mount the one I purchased, however it was difficult holding it in place long enough to hold it's own weight. I then used caulk to cover the edges. It has held up fine since then. Perhaps a contact cement would work and may even require less hold time although I have not personally tried that myself. I am not sure how someone would be able to mount this with a bracket. Perhaps an anchor bolt would give it something to rest on in the adhesion process? I am not sure. I hope this is helpful.

I was only able to use the clamp portion (which you tighten using a screw) over the shower head. The suction cup did not work as I have textured tile in my shower. Because the suction cup did not stabilize the bottom, the caddy did move side-to-side a bit more than I wanted to, but I ultimately figured out how to keep it balanced using the shampoo/conditioner bottles.

I really don't understand why you would want to do this as alot of items would fall out . I see the website states "*Use on pegboard, slatwall, or a counter*Comes with 2 metal U-hooksI wouldn't dream of using this vertically but you may be happy with it.

It really needs to be hung - or anchored somehow to the vertical surface. I would think that once you get bottles in the top shelf, you run the risk of it toppling - and breaking bottles of polish.

Sorry, it was perfect for me, a short little runt (5'3"). Seems like elsewhere on the Internet or on Amazon others had commented about adding (splicing in) another length of pipe to bottom to raise the top section, but I'm not exactly sure how that was done. Need some mechanical engineer type person. The other possibility might be in building up the concrete on the outside and any internal PVC or steel pipe that the two pieces could fit on - but you'd need to reinforce from the outside. Instructions were like to sink 20" of the pole into the ground for stability (I forget the exact number, but it was a ways on down, to give it stability.). So if you made the concrete footing shallower relative to the ground level then you likely will need to have some sort of buttress on the outside, or extra bracing from the ends of the horizontal "T" pole down to the ground (and the appropriate safety "flags" or coloring or flower vines or something so that people don't hurt themselves tripping over the guy wires. Anyway, this is kinda off my head but sorry I don't have a really great solution other then just to research other places. The pole is just about right for me... the clothes line is starting to get a little droopy and catch on my top knot but I just need to tighten them to make it not tangle it up with my head. Otherwise it's working out just fine for me.

Hi Nathan, I agree with MOzarkian regarding the spray. I'd make sure to cover the entire piece, front and back well. I live in Florida, and we too decorate outside walls......clear sealant is my best friend!!! You might have less issue with rust as where you are it is a much drier climate.

You could use a pump sprayer, but a brush also works and there isn't any overspray. A little goes a long ways in my experience. It depends on the square footage of your fence and how bad the rust is, but I wouldn't start with more than 2 quarts. It turns the treated areas white, so you may want to paint it, but it works great.

Don't know about the rustoleum because I haven't tried it yet. But if you buy this you definitely will have to do something because it starts to rust the day after you put it outside. As far as the heavy winds, ours is still standing, but we really haven't had any heavy winds.

My answer would be no, it is really well made but also made to hang to support the weight of the bottles of polish
