Towel Rails- long and strong. Does this exist?

Looking for a towel rail for my bathroom. All I can find are 600mm long and that's too short for my needs. I would like around 900mm, but I don't think that's possible.

What do people use to hang their towels? I don't have a towel radiator rack thingamy.

I'm not washing my towels daily to overcome this problem. Currently my towel is damp all day. Thick M&S towel.

Is your rail going above or close to a radiator? If so, just fold your towel in half before you hang it up.

you can use a curtain pole.

But because bathrooms are moist and steamy, use stainless or at least galvanised screws. If you see any other metal fittings that might rust, maybe spray those bits with protective paint.

We have a row of pegrail hooks above a radiator and hang them on that. If one is really wet, I flop it over the door and I also have a dehumidifier nearby running anyway, which really helps to dry them too. I must say, I don't buy those very thick ones as they are so bulky to wash and dry. Asda towels are a good price and quality i find, if you like a thinner type.

So you mean a heated towel rail? Mine is about 1500mm tall. Came from a local plumbing shop and they seemed to have a vast selection of towel rails from a range of manufacturers.

If it's about a rail to go over a radiator, then surely any waterproof material can be used to fashion something to suit your needs?

Thank you. A curtain pole would be a good solution. Hadn't thought of that. Yes it is going over a radiator. Not a towel radiator ( the sort that look like ladders) Previously I had an electric towel rack that heated up or not. It was so big and fittted two towels so they dried without heat by the time they were next needed,

Trying to find a solution. Two towels need to fit on and dry. 600mm is one towel width folded, so too short.

What about a double rail? I.e. with two rails - some have them stepped with one rail lower than the other?
