I am a Facepainter and I have a lot of long items like my canopy, tent and my director's chair and my A-frame sign, my kit and all if it fits and it's because of the tailgate which is very sturdy and you have to be careful because a lot of these tailgates still have the bar across the top with the wagon this one doesn't have that so you can actually load a lot of stuff on it. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because the handle when it's closed is not strong enough like I'm carrying a lot of heavy stuff and when you're pulling heavy stuff, the handle extends all the way out no matter what you want. And the wheels are not great on terrain. They definitely won't work on the beach not with heavy stuff anyway. But I would buy this again and again it is a really great wagon.
