But this is Jumbletown!
Shop is a four letter word.
Wooden poles, steel poles, mop handles even vacuum cleaner pipes (cant remember if they even have a name) all make excellent clothes rails, towel rails etc. And they are regularly discarded so easily come by in JT, skips, recycle centres.
In fact they are often much better then the flimsy rails you buy in hardware stores that are prone to bending when you hang too many clothes on them in a wide wardrobe.
All you need is a hack saw to cut it to correct length.
You dont even need fittings. 2 short lengths of wood with a v-notch cut in the centre of each and screwed to the wall will give a much stronger support for a wardrobe/clothes rail than almost any fitting you can buy.
