Do the rod holders have pins in the bottom to keep the rods from falling through and dragging on the ground?

Yes there is something that stops the rods from going all the way through to the ground

There are pins that keep rods intact. the pins cannot be removed. Allows rods to drain without falling through

If they are firmly in place in the holding brackets, the rods should not slide.

I have had no problem with this. I have the type of rod that bows out, so the "catch" area is at the ends. They sometimes get hung on this transition area, but a light tug usually works to dislodge them. These are the smoothest I have ever had and I purchased them specifically because I tried two other types that did not work at all. I am pleased with them. I believe there are none that would slide seamlessly, but these do well.

yes, I put a 3/8" rebar rod through the bottom rod. Then glued the end plugs. Finally, a really flexible bungee cord connected to the tie down. The weight and flexibility has saved me from the occasional gust of wind.

They don't appear to be. I have mine in a bottom mounted configuration, and there is some flexing of the casing with only a few pounds of load. I suspect they wouldn't hold nearly the rated weight without problems that way.

there is a tension spring inside the rod that keeps it in place. so far, mine hasn't moved. you wouldn't want to lean on the shelves or pull on them but they hold up fine taking stuff on and off during a shower. hope this is helpful.

If you mean do they fall out of the holder they don't. The open end is on theinside next to the rings so they stay put. I have used many many of these for my pictures and they work great.

Yes, there is a small flat area on the bottom to keep them upright, as long as you place it on a flat surface

Yes! They are two metal handle clamps that slides into a slide hole for storage. I hope this helps you out.

There is not a piece of rubber on the rods, however, I have not had a problem with anything slipping off. That said I have a large number of ties on the rack, (perhaps too much), but the ties may actually be holding each other in place.

No, they do not. But I've never had n issue with them slipping from their place.

No, I've seen those, but these don't have that. I just popped them up a bit from the bottom and didn't have an issue.

Yes, they do have rods that act like the "hinge" between each panel but the rods do go into the ground. Otherwise, if a wind came up, the panels would probably fall over. You could use it without running the rods into the ground, but I really don't know how stable it would be, unless you just propped them up against a railing more like a screen. Then they could be portable. We use them to hide the pool pump.

I do not believe they do. I do think they are pretty secure because I have to pull fairly hard to get them to slide out, but I do not think they lock in when the top is closed. I will pay more attention when I get home tonight.

There wasn't any for mine. It looks like they are held in place by gravity by the angle in which it attaches. Since I keep the stand stationary, it hasn't been a problem at all.

Yes they are held together by screws into brass posts. In my case one of the four screws for the top board deformed before the screw turned so it's now permanent; no problem loosening the four on the bottom board though.

The other answers kind of set the tone. No, in order for the rod holders to work properly they need to be mounted using the provided brackets. The brackets are not difficult to mount but do require two holes to be drilled per bracket. Once mounted, the holders work great.
