DIY bath hanger

A coat rack is one of the few pieces of furniture that should be present in any building. The bathhouse is no exception. You can hang both outer and regular clothes on it. Of course, if necessary, it can be replaced with a cabinet. However, it is a luxury item because it takes up too much space. Also, its cost is several times higher.

Bath hanger

In ordinary homes there are hangers made of all kinds of materials: metal, wood, less often plastic, and so on. But the bathhouse is a different place, so the requirements increase significantly. You cannot use metal hangers or parts, because air humidity is always high, even if we talk about the dressing room. The rusting process will quickly occur, and traces of a red, slightly brown color will begin to appear on the clothes. They will be difficult to wash. A hanger for a bathhouse with your own hands is a completely reasonable solution, the main thing is to understand the shape and size.

Deciding on the material

The choice of material is extremely important, since the result will significantly depend on it. Plastic is a material that is practically not used in baths. Firstly, the reason is personal hostility.The bathhouse, in essence, is almost a vacation in nature (at high temperatures), and you don’t really want to see ordinary things in such situations. Secondly, safety. Nowadays, many manufacturers want to make the most money, so they use cheap materials. If you come across low quality plastic, then most likely this material will begin to release toxic substances when heated. Thirdly, physical properties. Products made from it cannot withstand high temperatures, so they quickly deform in steam rooms and dressing rooms.

But then a completely logical question arises: what should you pay attention to if neither plastic nor metal can be used. The most suitable option is wooden hangers. They were the ones that were used in Ancient Rus'. Almost everything in the bathhouse was made only of wood.

Wood is a natural and cheap material and is not afraid of corrosion. The main advantage is diversity. The problem of choice should not arise.

Dimensions and drawing

The main task when creating a hanger with your own hands is drawing up a drawing. There are no clear requirements here, use your imagination! If you have no ideas, then use ready-made drawings on the Internet.
