Can the rod be reinforced to hold more weight?

Probably the best way to fix that is to go to a hardware store and buy a thicker diameter rod that will fit in the rod holder. Standard size closet pole should do.

I imagine you could buy deeper rod hangers and secure them on the inside, sure. if you're handy you can certainly make other improvements.

It probably can be, but, make sure you don't place so much weight that it rips out of the side panels. If your going to do that I would put a metal plate with more surface area then screw into that so it doesn't pull out of the side panel

Sauder puts weight limits on the structure, based on the construction of the model, I would probably not recommend that you try and put a lot more weight on the rod than the 40lbs that it is rated for.

The rod is actually very fragile (I think it's 1/4 not 1/2), therefore, I would not count on it. If you end up replacing it with another one, you might run into a problem with the plastic ends keeping the weight (only one screw). Get something more 'heavy duty', in my opinion.

The short answer is "no" not on a regular clothes rod in a closet. But what a great idea! Thanks to your question I am going to build in a smaller dowel to do just that. Clever you!

It looks like it will but I have found in the past if you expand them to the max they aren't as stable. For mine, I have taken a set of those plastic things for closets that you screw into the wall to hold the rod, (I use long screws and you can get them at Home Depot or Lowes) painted them the color of the wall and it provides fool proof stability.

Hi, We can supply a longer wall support rod, you just need to email us when you order. Thanks, Kathy

The bar is sturdy enough to use as a grab bar but only if it is secured to adequate backing that is either attached to the framework or large enough to distribute the load to a broad surface of the surround wall.

I doubt it, but it probably depends on how large the rod is. The attaching mechanism is made for a round bar, so it probably would be wobbly even if it would go over a square bar. I wouldn't chance it if I were you, unless you want to replace your bar for a round one.

Tension rods really aren't designed to be used in the way you're suggesting; they aren't strong enough to hold much. This is a very good rod, and does what it is designed to do -- hold a shower curtain and a liner. Perhaps you should look instead for an "inside clothesline" -- which Amazon does carry. Best wishes!

The rack currently is stuffed full of cotton clothes. The hanging bars and frame are very solid and if I push down on a rod firmly, there is no bending or loss in stability in the frame. If one hung some type of weights for weight lifting exercises on the rods, I don't know if the attachment between rod and frame would hold, but for any type of clothing, this supreme double rod garment rack is extremely sturdy.

I don't recall seeing anything in the packaging about purchasing extra rods. You'd probably have better luck contacting the manufacturer.

It seems as though you could with the following suggestions: 1. it should be a very strong material for the rod, like a thick cylinder of metal of some kind. 2. You would need different way to secure the shoe container to the rod, not the metal clips that come with it. 3. There are shoe containers that are made to be hung on a closet rod. They have loops in the top of the container.

I think it will get good support on rod than wire as it had hooks . I use on rod closet and it's good .

Steel rods go through to add strength. Good luck with velvet strip...... super flue maybe?

Hmmm...This is a well made, sturdy, and very lovely rod. We have a tapestry hanging from it that's about 5 lbs. I would think it could hold up to 10 maybe 15 lbs, looking at it. Hope this helps ;))

No. The rod just rests in the holder. It depends on gravity to hold it in place.

I worked with 24' total without any problems. My gut feeling is that you could add two more sections without a problem. The rods are stout but flexible.

The rod is installed using screws into the wall. So if you think you can screw through the plastic and into the wall, it should be fine. You may want to get longer screws just in case if the plastic is thick.

You are playing with fire to try and change this item. It is sturdy as is, but the rods appear firmly fixed if not welded. Keep looking for the size you need it will be a better bet.
