can the wings stand more upright while drying items instead of spread out?

You can actually make one wing stand straight up, but with the help of a bungee (or cord) this could be accomplished. I find that this rack is extremely versatile and can be configured in MANY variations.

no the metal holders go under the rungs so last rung in determines how upright the wings will go

The side wings can go up to maybe 20-30 degrees, not much higher than what is pictured.

You mean like laying the garment down flat on a table/board, and doing it that way? It probably could, but the way it's built it's kind of meant to steam something that is hanging. As another person mentions, it does leak a little (which isn't that terrible of an annoyance) and the key is to keep your hand out of the way of the steam. That would probably be minimized by using it upright.

Another option is that you might be able to remove the wings from the glass cover, squeeze them together, and re-insert them just into the slots. Then re-attach the wings to the glass cover. That's not how I did it (see my previous post), but it occured to me that it might be able to be done that way. I don't have my fan here to check it...

If you put things in the bags, they can stand upright. If they are empty, they won't.

Yes, sort of. An entire wing can be raised so there will be sections much higher for longer clothes.

Not very well. I however you could turn the feet and arms in so it would lay flat or stand very thin.

Yes. I either prop it on the ladder, bumper, or at the end of the picnic table in an L shape. This allows more drying space.

If by wings, you mean the blades, they should not droop. The kit should have come with extra blades, are they damaged as well?

Yeah I guess u could do that but u need to drill holes in it for watering and then ud need something to make it stand upright...?

You might be able to, however, since wet laundry is heavy and a breeze is great for drying but complicates the tipping over issue I would say this works best installed as directed into the holder in the ground. Installed this way its very sturdy.

No tall books and binders definitely can't stand straight up. I had to just lay them flat.

Sure! I like it horizontally so that the towel drops down, but you can use it vertically.

No. The uprights are pre-cut and support the next shelf up. I have used these as shown and as two shorter 2-shelf units side by side by not using one set of the uprights. You could do that and put your taller items on the top.

You could try using sandbags. Or something similar. I have thought about it since on windy days the dryer will blow over. You could also try to tie the legs down, but I don't know how well that would work. You could also weight some sturdy plastic or rubber bags of water (to act like sandbags) but you could decide how much water to use and therefore how much they would weigh). Sorry I don't have any better answers.

Yes, I have dried sheets on mine, but I have to fold them, and stagger them on the lines. They dry just fine.

Do you have the animal wand in place, it won't stand upright unless you have everything in the right place, put away.

Hi Michelle, maybe at the bottom an inch or two on each side but not much more. The top is not flexible, so you'd be looking at the sides not being vertical.
