Wooden racks are more likely to bow or even break under the weight of a wet load, especially one that includes long pants or long-sleeve shirts. Opt for a metal rack sturdy enough to support everything at once. This model offers a generous 50 feet of combined drying space, and the coated heavy-gauge welded steel won’t rust or chip.
