How much weight can the rod hold? (Like hanging a heavy wet sheet or blanket to dry.)

it should hold if installed right. We use a hotel quality shower liner which is heavy and a shower curtain and still throw wet bath towel over it and have no problems what so ever.

It's pretty sturdy. Have no idea what actual weight, though. My wife uses it to air dry delicates, so we've not done anything extremely heavy, like pairs of jeans or something. I would say the further it's extended and you hang things further out, the lighter those items should be, because when it's fully extended, weight on the outer rod will put a lot of downward stress on it. Overall, though, I'd recommend it - seems to be durable if you use common sense.

I use it for regular lined drapes and hung them from the ceiling. It will hold a lot if you use anchors in the drywall.

If you mean to hang linens, then yes. It's is extremely sturdy and durable. I can't imagine anything too heavy for it.

This thing is a workhorse! I hang at least 5 pairs of wet jeans and 8 or 9 wet t-shirts at one time. I haven't had any problems with it drooping under all the weight. Just make sure you use a stud finder before hanging it.

I don't know about the weight, but I hang up to two large bath towels per bar. I prefer not to hang more than that because the towels are used on a regular basis and need to dry. The door opens right over a heat vent so there is no problem drying in the winter.

They say on the hang it, dang it website that the rod will hold up to 40 lbs. I have a heavy flannel quilt with lots of wool appliqu hanging over my fireplace on a hang it dang it rod. It works great. Love this method of hanging a quilt more than any other, it is easy and the only thing you see is the beautiful quilt.

I honestly wouldn't put more than three pounds on the vinyl hanger. I have a large star on it and it's perfect. Holds it right in place. You don't want to put 10 pounds on it as it will pull your vinyl siding down.

I would estimate 25 lbs. I wouldn't worry about hanging clothes on it, but if some one put all their weight on it (like a grab bar), I wouldn't expect it to hold. This depends in part what it is screwed into. Wall board won't hold as much as it will fail before the bar does.

I keep mine in the garage. Or you can make a table or something that would keep it dry. I just got mine and it is in the box yet. It weighs about 200 lbs I think. I have a small 3500 that has an arm I can pull it by, but I still think this big one will be too heavy to move.

I have mine mounted on studs, 32" apart. It holds quite a bit, though I have not measured the weight of the load. If the main supports are not mounted on studs, it would definitely pull out of the dry wall fully loaded. Also, if the rod gets weaker as it is pulled longer and longer (tube in tube design...expands....but you lose strength with expansion)

It is basically a clothing rod on a metal shelf unit that has a heavy cloth cover with magnets in the doers to keep the doors shut. I do not know exactly how much weight it holds, but we filled it with my Mom's clothing, minus her winter coat. We have it totally full and it is just fine.

I haven't hung up 2 pairs of wet jeans, but I have hung 5 shirts/tops with multiple empty hangers on the arms at the same time, and a bag of wet clothes thrown on top. Also hung a pair of my husband's wet sweatpants (XXL-tall), heavy as jeans. No problems. Just ensure device mounted in studs or with heavy duty dry-wall hangers. I love this device because it's in my laundry room, doesn't take up much space when closed, and I don't have to go outside to hang the few items I need line dried. Planning on installing one at my mom's and probably at my grown child's house too.

Hi -- I took these on a trip and they were surprisingly sturdy. I used them for hanging up a lot of wet dresses, t-shirt dresses, etc. after washing. They should definitely handle the weight of wet-t-shirts and a light jacket.

No, the curtain shower rod does not slip when damp. There is just enough spring tension to hold it in place. I would not hang a bunch of heavy wet towels on it.

I did not end up keeping this item, but as I recall it protruded a "normal" amount - about 2-3 inches. Sorry for being vague but I thought it might be a help to you if no one else answered. I did not keep the rod because it was too flimsy to hold up a medium weight curtain across a 108 inch window without sagging in the middle, if that helps, too.

I think this hanger can hold as much blanket or quilt weight as it can fit on it without sagging. I have yet to overload it.
