I use this little system to hang the paper kitchen towel roll at home, no complaints from the missus. Got the idea from my parents who had the curtains in their boat hung like this (my bike owns a bike shop, so that's probably not a coincidence). And with three children, it has been tested thoroughly.

For this summer holiday, I'm installing this little system for sure.

Greetings,

Peter.
