Is there a weight limit for the mat? I'm looking to place potted plants on a heated mat.

Not that I am aware of but I would not exceed 30lbs and make sure no sharp edges touch the mate. They do get hot depending on if you have them enclosed in a box, etc so keep an eye on that so your plants do not dry out. We use them to start seedlings and they work great.

I don't think any of my potted plants weigh 10lbs. They probably are 5 - 8 lbs. However, I think it would be ok to try out a 10lb. pot because I have other decorative items on each shelf, including different rocks. Won't know til you try it! The rack is very sturdy and stable and also an attractive addition to our patio.

if you were set in the middle and do not lean on it, it should be ok we have put potted plants (maybe a 1 gal pot) and did not have any issues (such as bowing), if it is like a home printer it should be fine.

Yes- not good for heavy ceramic pots but good for smaller ceramic or plastic pots. Put heavy pots of floor

I think it holds up to 300lbs. It depends on size of pots to how much you can fit.

I am not sure how much weight. This is a sturdy little shelf. I have two orchids and a tray of rocks with water in it, on one shelf. On another I have an african violet in a self watering pot. The shelves are fine. I wouldn't get overly carried away but small cactus plants should be fine.

Our mat (GF55RB717SG) weighs about 100 lbs. Had it now for two years and really helped our garage in the winter.

This will hold a lot of weight. I have four self-watering flower pots on one of these and it doesn't flex at all. Regular poles wouldn't hold even one of these pots. So there will be no problem with a capacity feeder.

I have a heavy planter and no problems. I have 3 of these, very strong, good wheels,. Will get some more this spring.

Pots are lightweight. I think even if you weight the pot down with sand or anything else a 4 ft tree is to large for pot and tipping would be an issue.

I can't imagine this mat melting, but then again... I do not live in such high temperatures either! I would also think that you would need several of these mats to be large enough for an outdoor play area. Also, just so you know... I love this mat, but it is not designed to be picked up and moved around without coming a part.

Hi Anita,Well, I have mine holding flower pots that way perhaps 2 kg, roughly 4 lb, with no problem. Make sure you hold the pot from below when you activate the mechanism by pulling the string, because once released the pot will fall under the full pull of gravity. I also have some without the string activated mechanism, but apart from the sting that you can only partly hide in the foliage, the ones with the string work better.

Not sure what the manufacturers specified weight limit it, but I have a Hibiscus planted tree on it, about 25 pounds.

No! This would not support heavy weight. This plant stand mainly is for plants.

I do not know how much weight this supposts. I do know it will support an approx. 10 lb. artificial plant. However, do carefully check interior diameter of this item to insure it is greater than the exterior diameter of your plant or item to be placed on it.

If you mean a heavy pottery dish, along with the weight of a heavy potted plant--there would be a concern that over time the metal would bend; remember the plant above will drip onto the one below. You could try this, it will support the weight. I sprayed mine with clear urethane, a couple coats, when it first arrived, so it will hold up to the moisture outside without corroding, as all metal stuff does.

I have put up to 30 lbs on them with no problem . I have not had Amy problems with the greenhouse and have a nice bunch of seedlings going in it now . It's a nice little starter greenhouse.
