Am thinking about getting one of these for hanging wet laundry...would it be strong enough, or do I need one of those screw-in rods?

Well not for tons of wet laundry Could work, should work, not what it is designed for. It is a shower rod not a clothesline.

I purchased this item for my remodeled bathroom.. I do not recommend using this item to hand wet laundry. I have used it to hand one (1) bath towel and would not recommend more..

In testing, I had more than 30# evenly distributed on the rod. The wall was painted drywall. The rod was installed according to instructions. So, if the "wet laundry" in total does not weigh more than 30# and it can be space evenly it should hold up without any problem. John R.

Wet laundry is heavy. I would not recommend it for that. I don't think it would hold much weight.

I am using it for sheers in a window. It seems pretty sturdy and is adjustable.

Maybe. I think it would depend on how heavy the fort wall is. I hang big wet kitchen towels on mine all the time and it holds just fine. I say go for it.

It could definitely be used to hang laundry. I use mine with "S" shower hooks to hang necklaces but it could be used to hang pretty much anything.

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.

The rod and hangers are very well made and strong. If anchored well and I mean very well, they should hold just about any curtain you choose. Just make sure that when you go beyond 60 or so inches that you use the center support. I bought very nice blackout curtains through amazon and am very pleased. Remember, anchoring the supports securely is the key. Good luck !

I believe it will work as long as you are not hanging exceptionally heavy fabric. The rod actually expands to 12 inches. It has rubber feet on the end that hold well. I compressed it to 11" just to see and It has plenty of holding power.

It might work if you screw it very tight. Wondering if it would hold under pressure of tearing off towels? I guess I'd just be sure to not pull hard or to the side.

You can certainly hang hangers from the rods, but keep in mind that the rods are four inches apart when deciding if this product is right for your preferred laundry processing. Also, you can pull up one rod and leave another hanging low, if desired, but four inches would suggest that hanging hangers on all three rods all at the same height would not work well.

It's definitely strong enough to hold all those things as long as you mount it correctly on your wall. I suggest that if you are going to hang things that have some weight to them on it, that you mount it on your wall with toggle bolts.

No need for screws. It is a tension rod..mine hasn't fallen down yet. Not to mention I've also hung wet laundry from it, and it hasn't collapsed on me once from any extra weight..

It is pretty lightweight and. Probably not tall enough. That said, I might use the end bars and drop the middle racks. The top end bars are probably sturdy enough if not overloaded. I surely wouldn't use the drying rods for this purpose.

Yes, you could hang these from wire closet shelves either with the included hangers or s-hooks. I'm not too sure about the rod.

We bought it to put in our grandsons' closet to get their clothes down where they could reach them. It is jammed packed with their shirts with no problem. I have used one before to hang my shirts to provide extra closet space. I believe it is strong enough to handle quite a bit of weight.

It wouldn't work well on the back of a door. It hangs on a rod like a hanger would. I think it would be strong enough to hold bath towels. I have multiple cardigans and thicker sweaters on it.

Hey Sam - I used two of these in my Brooklyn apartment on a tension rod. I put them at the ends of the rod by the walls, and it worked just fine. But I only put very light things on them. When I used them to dry my running shirts (heavy cotton - really weighty when wet) I hung it on the shower head.

The unit is sturdy but light. Regarding the tension rod holding, it will depend upon what you hang from the clips.
