Handles, Hooks, and Towel Bars, oh my!

DaveRichardson

Gradually building my arsenal for my upcoming intro into EGGING amazingness; but this thought came across my mind:

What handles, hooks, bars, etc are you all using on outdoor furniture?  I have a plethora of Ikea bars and hooks from an indoor entertainment center the boss unit and I did a few years back.  Some even have hooks that you can place on the bars for utensils.

What do you all use???

I built my table a year ago and had intentions of putting some hooks on. Never got around to it and probably won't. I just put any utensils I'm using on the table top. I did attach a paper towel holder... hardly ever use that either as the paper towel seems to always get blown off the roll even with the slightest of breezes.

I'm using a steel bar and hooks from ikea and they're dirt cheap, they look REALLY good and they're durable.

@geoff7877‌ how have the ikea bars held up to weather and time? I have a bunch of ikea stuff that we didn't use on an entertainment system I "assembled" a while back.

Just put them on. My table is only just over a month old. They look great and the price is right.

Ok. I'm thinking about hitting mine with a poly coat or two just to protect them a little better.

I just added these to my new table. I had the old silverware laying around and it just seemed to fit the theme.

@Big_Green_Craig I saw that on Facebook.....  I like that idea.  Also tossing around the idea of some old railroad ties that have been heated and bent for hooks.

That would look cool too!

I put hooks on mine but seldom use but I cook right outside the cave. If you do consider putting them on the side...@big_green_craig...looks like a possible vasectomy. Pretty though.

HA! Yeah, I see what you mean, My table is pretty tall, not sure that could even happen.

You could hang some bacon on those hooks and you might just catch henapple....

You probably could coat them with something. They are stainless steel but maybe a spray can clear coat would give them a little more protection.

Mine are fairly simple. SS carriage bolts with 2 SS nuts sandwiching to allow for movement in and out for different BBQ tools etc.

How does that work (gets bolted, screwed, fits into a groove)? Never seen this before that I recollect. Is this SS?

McStew

any of the above would work ( bolted or screwed depending on what your top is ) I made mine out of aluminum similar to these http://www.jegs.com/p/JOES-Racing-Products/JOES-Racing-Products-Helmet-Hooks/1765022/10002/-1
