I've never had any problems with these. If you're concerned I'd put them on
racks indoors (basement, kitchen, living room--I've done all three).

We use one of the folding wooden racks with 13 struts at 27" each. That goes
a long way for the little pieces, but we hang the shirts/t-shirts/sweaters
on coat hangers from something higher. Between the two it covers a load
pretty well. Sheets and towels get hung on the porch railing.

There are a surprising number of flimsy racks out there. You could make your
own pretty easily. Flimsy not worth your while.
