Hear me out…this is gonna change EVERYTHING!! I swear this will make us at least several dozen dollars EACH.

ARE YOU READY?

Here we go…

Bathroom Fixtures that don’t fall off the wall if you look at ‘em funny.

Towel rods & TP holders are just the start!

Who’s in? Send checks payable to “Tim’s Super Awesome Rod Company”

Alright, hear me out on this.

Affix the Towel rods and TP holders to the wall with wedged-tennon joinery, like in a trestle table.
Use cheap unsealed wood for it, and let the natural humidity of the bathroom swell the wood into place.

I don’t understand those words, so I’m gunna assume you’re insane. You’re out.

Serious inquiries only, please. There is at LEAST $3.50 in ROI at stake here.
 
When I was single and living alone I had standard fixtures.
When I got married I had to upgrade to heavy duty fixtures.
We had daughters and had to upgrade to longer bolts and anchors.
We bought a rental property and we just pile everything on a shelf, a renter’s capacity for destruction exceeds the strength of any fixture.
 
Just the other day i found my wife's towel rack wiggling like the POS that it is. Went for the allen wrench, snuggled it up, still wiggled. Dry wall anchor was loose, went for a bigger one, no dice. Ended up dropping a toggle in to ensure the hole it eventually blows out will be as big as it possibly can.

I have a fantasy fix, if I ever build a new house or when I inevitably end up having to replace my current master bathrooms drywall because of all the shitty anchors pulling out. 2"x12" between the wall studs in every conceivable place that a bath towel, hand towel or toilet roll can possibly be mounted.

Logical. Obviously experienced with the use case. Very “corporate” appropriate.

Not our vibe, man. Ya dig?

You’re out.
 
I’m in as long we can design them so the mounting holes are the same distance apart as wall studs. Nothing like getting one side in a stud and the other side using crappy Sheetrock anchors that come loose and fall out.
 
You think small.

Proper framing includes installing 2x6 blocking on edge between any studs where towel bars & TP holders might one day be mounted.

You need Vision on the front end; anything else is a band-aid.





Ansd we know how you are with Boo-Boo kits.

Edited to add: I breezed through & posted before I read this. Credit where it's due, @Johnny

I understand you’re left-handed. Obviously, you’re out.
 
Pre-IPO? I'm in.

However, if the "Tim’s Super Awesome Rod Company" IPO crashes... I get dibs on the term "Tim's Super Awesome Rod-Bubble".

Translation(not that kind of trans) once the wood swells changing the TP is out.

Vertical man, vertical. You gotta think outside the box errr in between the studs.
 
This will hold your TP and a drink at the same time.

I can’t have charges showing up on my account to “Tim’s rod.”

For those reasons…

Dear, Tim’s Super Awesome Rod Company

I wired 10 dollars into your Rod Company, as compensation for my investment I'll take the position of Senior Rod Inspector for quality control. All ideas and designs new or old will pass through me for inspection. Once they pass the x ray test we can market. Easy perpetual business model which gets me excited for non stop return buyers. Let me know when you get that 10 spot and we can get started on ideas right away. I've included a picture of the holes and poles needed at my place as a start.

Lets get this money!!!!!!
Sincerely,
@BloodRunsThicker

I’m telling you, the anchors exist. Blocking is unnecessary. I have used these for commercial ADA applications in construction. If they’re properly installed, which is stupid easy, they are incredibly strong.

In the bar & restaurant construction industry we have a saying. “It have to be strong enough to f**k or fight on without breaking.” Because there’s a good chance both of those things will happen…

Togglers pass the test… old school toggle bolts are garbage and so are plastic anchors for anything more than a light picture frame.
