Has anyone used this outside? Looking for a pool towel rack and impossible to find one with good reviews.

I can't imagine why one couldn't. It's all coated metal, even the screw heads.

Keep looking This thing will not stand up to outside use, or heavy wet towels.

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

This is made of a lot of tubular painted metal pieces which are bolted together.The end caps have plastic. I think that it would work for your pool.But it is not totally weatherproof. I would recommend bringing into a shed or overhang when not in use for it to last forever.

I see no reason why it can't be used outdoors. However, be aware that it's designed to hold only a few light items - I doubt the string would last long if, for example, you put large wet bath towels on it. Also, the string might quickly deteriorate from outdoor exposure to UV light, and it's not at all clear if it can be easily replaced.

The previous answers are correct in dimension. Suggest leveling the actual bar that holds the towels and not the bracket holes that are actually at an angle. I leveled the bracket holes and it appears that the towels are going downhill. This is a suggestion.

I did not install outside. So I am unaware if there is any problems with it. But a friend of mine has two set which he installed a few years ago on his boat dock and they both seem to be holding up fine. (Salt water docks)

We have ours in pool and are very happy with it, have it anchored to deck which surrounds our pool. Only problem I could see to having it outside would be how to anchor it to pool. Maybe it could just set by poolyou weigh it down with sand in tubes, but the arms for anchoring it would stick out in pool would need to cut them off. This might be a question for manufacturer.

Mine is outside in the exact location you're speaking of. I've had no trouble with it at all. I decided to use a garbage bag over my new one, but my old one still works fine and I never covered it.

Yes, the slack rack can be used outdoors. I wouldn't keep it outside it's metal and it could rust. Also it's not light so a person may need help to get it out there but it certainly could be used outside.

I never use it as a towel rack just a handle but if you need it same go ahead and leave it off. I also left off the knife block. I use mine as a coffee cart.

I do love the towel warmer. I have never hung more than one towel on it. We have never had any problems with it.

I have one installed vertically in our motor home to save space. The towels do drop down a little but it works as designed and we really like it. Mark

I do not have a towel bar, I have a shower caddy that hangs inside the shower. The one shown is a towel bar that hangs outside the shower.

It's not bad. My regular size towels I fold in thirds, lengthwise, then roll them. But my bath sheets I have to fold in half, crosswise, then roll them to stick them in. They hang out past the other towels on the sides, but it's an interesting contrast. Looks like a tree, kind of... I strongly suggest making sure you mount it into studs. Snagging a towel out of it when it's just mounted to the sheetrock will probably pull it out of the wall.

Is there a towel holder that rest on the towel rack that does not need to be mounted. I saw one at a party. she placed it between the towel rack and wall. It looked similar to this one. Would this work similar to the one I saw at the party or does this need to be mounted on the wall?

I use mine as a towel rack with regular bath towels. It is a snug fit, but works great.

I don't think it will......this is a great rack, but wet beach towels are so heavy I wouldn't think it could hold them.....I use it for drying delicates, sweaters and even two pairs of jeans, but it is of a very light weight construction.t

Hello Claudia, I have had this rack for about a year and am very happy with it, have not seen any rust yet and it hangs right outside my shower so I am sure it has gotten wet... Hope this helps! Helen

I have never used the rack outdoors. I keep my kayaks on the rack in my garage winter and summer.
