Would this make a good towel to place over the sun deck on a boat for the kids to get in and out onto? i need something absorbent.

I am very impressed with the absorbancy of this product. Also very compact and space is at a premium on a boat, so yes.

I would add,if you sew two together you have a much better towel for use. They do absorb well,not almost repel water like some of the new fancy ones. I would think the company might consider offering in two sizes .

Pool or beach towel. You can wrap up in it as a sarong at the beach or pool as well.

No it would absorb water and be too heavy and then dry out and shrink. Not weather proof.

There are also very nice, open weave durable shade sails available. Would be cooler for your kennel, but not waterproof. That's what I have on my deck, and it's lovely.

Yes. It will work. I will say there are better towels out there. Look at prana. This one is very slippery even when wet.

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.

The Over sized Bath Towel, XXL(39.5"x 71") would probably be a good fit, depending on the size of a person. As far as the microfiber towel, I see nothing wrong with using it for the beach. It would dry someone off much quicker than a cotton towel. Hope this helps, enjoy the beach.

I use it mainly for lightweight clothing i do not put in the dryer. I did put two regular size towels on it, one on each side, and it took up all the space. I think only one beach towel would fit due to their size. I hope this helps you.

It really is more like a generic shammy. So it takes up little room when expanded and refolded. It went around me and worked well while camping. I have now used it for dusting and washing my car. Really not what you might think as a beach towel.

Not sure. I found these towels don't dry as well. They also are not as absorbent.

It could probably do that. You would want to make sure you have sufficient wall anchors. Also, you probably would put the towel over two rods instead of one. The rods are very narrow and light weight. I use this mainly for my daughters skating pants, swim suits etc.

What a great idea! They towels should hold up in the water. I sometimes wet them and use to wipe down bathroom sink area. They don't shred or fall apart but then I don't leave them sitting in water, either. They are nice and large, when unfolded.

Depends on size of towels and how many. It would look nice for that though.

Maybe a little, but if you leave it in the sun the water will definitely get warm. It's thin and meant to be very lightweight, so I wouldn't say insulation is it's primary purpose.

I have not- I bought it to use as a beach towel. It is great for that but sorry I can't answer for other uses.

If your referring to the arrange large size bath towel & not beach size bath towel, then no. However I only dry two @ a time. And that's because I don't let my towels pile up. Hope that helps?
