Title: Outdoor Towel/Robe Rack
Post by: bohms on November 22, 2006, 02:29:13 pm
Ok, I'm trying to find an outdoor towel/robe rack on google and I'm getting frustrated.  Does anyone have one?  And if so, where did you purchase it?  I want it to look like an actual coat rack, but for outside (obviously).

Bohms,
I'm not sure if mine qualifies, but if you look at the pics I just posted you can see what I use. :)

This isn't exactly a standard coat rack, but we use it around the pool and spa for towels, robes, wraps and bathing suits.  It works great.  :)

Thanks for the ideas.

Svspa - I like the one on that website and it comes in coastal gray too.  Thanks for the website.

Tileman - where did you get that?  Looks like it's tall enough for robes.

GoBlue - my husband would like that b/c it looks like deer antlers!  Where did you get that?

I got it at Lowe's for $15. It's made to hang plants on but I use it for towels and robes. :) It's plenty long and completely weather resistant. It has a u shaped end on the bottom and all you do is stick it in the ground. It's plenty sturdy, takes up no patio space, maintenance free, and cost a fraction of the price. :)

Hi Bohms:
I'm gonna try to put in a link here, but I'm not sure it will work.  www.saveonpoolsupplies.com/Spa-and-Hot-Tub-Supplies/Spa-Side-Furniture-Enhancements/Freestanding-Spa-Table/

I am buying one of these bar and stool sets for my new tub. (on order)  I liked it because each side has a pull out towel rack.  It's a little bigger than just a towel stand, but it does double duty.  The one at saveonpools' site is 31" high, but AandBaccessories.com shows a taller one for deeper spas.  It looks like AandB is the manufacturer.

Thanks Chad

I'll figure out how to do that someday!  The second picture is the set I was talking about.

I found it at a place called Lily's on Main in Sylvania, OH.  Lily's handles unique art, pottery and specialty items. Their phone number is 419-885-8489. The owner, Judy, gets them from Mexico.

The background tree is a Scotch Pine that I found at a local nursery. They did a lot of grafting to make it look like that

Scoth pine, I'll have to remember that come spring time.

Thanks.

I dont know if you found one to your liking yet, but I got this in an ACE hardware plant section. I'm sure it was made for hanging plants, but it works for me! One downside is that if you need it to stand on a flat surface, it wont work. It drives into the ground with a forked tip.

I built mine, it looks like a regular purchased coat rack thats free standing. It's made from a 6 foot piece of 2 inch pipe and a bunch of bolts of differet lenghts. The bottom bolts that hold it up are coated in that rubber stuff you dip handles in and the entire thing is sprayed in clear coat after I use a grinder and wire wheel to make a design on it and clean it up.
