Default Vertical radiator towel hanger

Hi

We have two of these, recently installed...

https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalo...tical-radiator

They're very effective, and save a lot of space compared to the normal
horizontal radiators.

However.

The old radiator in the kitchen used to have a plastic coated wire
tea-towel hanger thing hooked over the top, something like one of these...

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/8504405

....and SWMBO wants similar for the new radiator. I can't find one. Any
ideas? I mean, normally I wouldn't splash out so much cash, but I
suppose it would do for a combined Birthday/Christmas present.

Cheers

Cut and shut one?

You have 4 to practice on.

I assume you'd need to make one. Steel wire can be bent into eg a |__|''|__|''| shape, but such a shape would require thick wire to stay straight, which would be a pain to bend. And of course it must be rustproofed. If you have welder & angle grinder it should be straightforward to make whatever shape you want.

Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152824065635 and make up
a couple of brackets to screw to the wall that it can hook into.

£3 extravagant enough?

Can't you go down the DIY route? ,many charity and small clothes shops
have boxes of wire hangers they give away to get rid of them.
A few of those bent a bit and held together with gaffer tape should do
the job.
