well, i cant really answer your question directly, but i do have 20 gallon smart pots that i will be putting my indoor dwarf bananas in very soon.
the smart pots dont appear to be very "heavy duty" based on their appearance alone.

do you have the smart pots? the fabric does seem very thin and i can see the light through the material. i am not saying that they are not durable, since i havent used them yet. they probably can in fact handle the stress that you will be putting them through.

this probably doesnt help you very much, but i just wanted to chime in cause i will be using the smart pots for the first time very soon. hopefully, someone with more experience with smart pots will be better to help you out.

i am using hydroponic grow media, so it is lighter than soil and i will be keeping the plants indoors at all times. i will provide more feedback when i get the smart pots up and running.
