How much weight can it hold without collapsing the roof?

That really depends on the vehicle you're putting it on. In my case, for my Subaru outback, it will hold 4 sleeping bags, 2 thermarests and a couple of cots. So I generally stick with light things like that or clothes.

It depends on the individual car roof. We put loads into it for our vacation (around 200 pounds) and had no problems. We have a Volvo-XC90 and it worked great.

The maximum carry weight has nothing to do with the Thule bag, it is solely a function of your roof construction. If you do not have any stiffening rails (often associated with a factory roof rack) you can be sure that less than 100 lbs will probably collapse your car roof, maybe even less than 50 lbs. The Thule bag is intended to be used with a factory roof rack. So, if you have a factory roof rack refer to your owner's manual, you may find guidance there.

Yes, it holds up to 300 lbs. We've probably put very close to that on it with no problems.

Max weight capacity is really based on the weight your roof rack can handle. The box itself weighs 47 lbs. I have also seen mention of 125 lbs being the recommended limit. We've loaded a set of golf clubs, luggage, & a slew of other stuff in it, no issues.

You can put a couple pounds on it, but don't put an elbow on it. It will topple over.

I have about 25 lbs on mine and it is stable and strong enough to hold that much more.Seems very strong and stable to me.

I am not sure of a maximum weight, but it supported several of us (about 800 Lbs.) for a couple of minutes.

We use ours for our boys built in loft beds and my husband and I both climb it. I would say it can safely handle 200 lbs. we've been using it for over a year maybe two.

I can't answer in terms of weight, but I have a fairly large pot and plant in mine and I never worry that it might collapse.

no problem, it's strong. Just make sure the legs are extended well or the whole thing can fall.

I certainly can't say for sure; however, I used it this summer to attach a copper lighting rod bracket to a rubberized roof and it has held quite well in very hot weather and lots of rain. I don't know how it handles weight in a heat situation.

I've climbed on top but I'm not sure of the weight limit. It's very sturdy very little jiggling when I move it

Maybe 8-12lbs, 15lbs...MAYBE. It's not heavy at all, however, constructed quite solidly. I am impressed at how well built it is. I lifted it up ladder onto roof (1 story Ranch, for larger more angled roof, a rope fastened to it & lifted, would be easy, maneuvered it, slid it around, by myself. A carpenter/roofer friend (read 'experienced') did help install, but if I had more roof cutting confidence I would've done the job myself. I bought the therimistat for it, and check it every summer, it runs Quietly and SOLIDLY - No issues & No more hot attic! Circulation is awesome (although I wish I had some post sunset circulation = no sun, no solar fan). Not a big deal tho. An awesome product! Maybe 8-12lbs, 15lbs...MAYBE.

Recommended maximum of 300 pounds. However, I would not put that much weight on it unless I have several plates on the storage pegs to stabilize the load.

Hi - We had a support beam put in our ceiling and used 10" 'i" bolts. Then we went to REI and got mountain climber clips. Because I teach I had to ensure safety of my clients and be able to accommodate a multiple of weights. Ours currently can support up to 48K pounds - not that I expect a client that heavy LOL - the weight capacity just added up to that with all the measures we took. I can imagine that if the use is for just an average weight person, in their own home that if you have a secure ceiling beam (you'll have to be able to verify through your roof and/or attic) you could just 'i' hooks into the beam with straps through the "i" hook to accommodate your weight. This may all sound complicated - but I can assure you that you will LOVE this inverted sling! I have so much fun on it all by myself that my husband's new nickname for me is "Monkey"... Enjoy!

I'm not sure how much weigh it can hold but .. I have lots of clothes on it and hasn't bent .. I'm actually thinking about buying another one.

Not 100% sure but I weigh 250 and it holds me with no issues at all. I wouldn't be afraid to say it would hold up to 300 pounds.

I think the official weight limit is 300 lb but it is solidly built I bet it would hold a lot more than that before failure.
