Somethims DIY’ing can be really simple and easy, this copper DIY bathroom towel rail is simply that. I got the idea making this rail when I did the Builders Warehouse mother’s day tray challenge. So when I started working on my ‘GROUNDED’ bathroom inspiration with ISCA Taps for Decorex 2018 Cape Town, I wanted to add some DIY bathroom ideas and inspiration that had a brushed metal look. the bathroom rail idea was born.
What you will need to make your own copper rail?
- 1 x copper pipe of approx 700mm long
- 2 x copper elbows
- 2 x copper caps
- 2 x copper pipes of approx 50mm long
- 2 x screws
- A drill
- Epoxy glue from Builders Warehouse
Step by Step Instructions
- Mount the two copper caps onto the wall using a drill and the screws. Make sure that you measure accurately to see where they should be placed.
- Assemble the towel rail, sticking the pieces together using the Epoxy
- Lastly place the towel rail into the caps on the wall, again sticking it with the Epoxy.
I bought most of the items from a local plumbing store who also cut the pipes to size for me. They did a perfect job so the rest of this DIY was really easy. It is important to note that the pipes do give off a black residue as it is copper. To avoid this you can use a clear sealant to seal all of the pipes before you start this DIY. I purchased a Rust-Oleum clear spray paint sealant also from Builders Warehouse to seal it before I started this DIY.
