I need a way to dry wet and muddy rugs, as the current one isn't working as well as we need it to; we just have rugs laid over things.
I really don't think the walls could support a rug rack, 3 or 5 armed, ideal as that would be; they can't hold a saddle on a rack all too well. I'm not sure how I'd brace them, and if it would be at all possible, but I'm going to look into that. We have sort of open beams (not spaced too far apart), and I was thinking about putting a curtain pole between two of the beams with regular supports on both sides. Then I'd either use those expensive horsey coat hangers or improvise a way to hang them up.
I wondered if you had any other suggestions? Can't take the rugs home, can't install an airing cupboard (I'd love to) and hanging them on a string or whatever would be rather impractical.
