Was a bit reluctant to purchase, as western Nebraska can get some very nasty winds; but other reviewers said it held up well in strong winds. They weren’t lying! This has allowed me to hang multiple loads, even heavy denim, without concern. I do not keep it up all year round: spring, summer, and autumn, typically finds it outside, but stored in accompanying case (which could be heavier, like a nice decent weight canvas), but outside; winter it’s usually stored in the garage. Would purchase again!!
