2. Measure and Mark the Wood

Using your measuring tape, mark the plank of wood at the 4-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch marks. These measurements will ensure your towel organizer is perfectly spaced.

    Don't your towels get damp by storing them this way - that is from being in the bathroom shower area even if you are not using them??

    I lean a shower rod inside my bathroom closet and stack my toilet paper rolls on it for storage of those huge box box store quantities of toilet paper

    I only have towels being used in the bathroom and use the towel bars intended for that. Towels should dry between uses to avoid mold and musty smells and launder often.
