It just depends on what you want you can go to a hardware store and get some stainless pre-fabbed towel rods. I used some as handles on the back of my old boat. I'll look for a pic or take one when I get there.

Not saying where to buy them.
I use them in the home and would d.i.y. but hard to top prefabbed by the time labor is figured.
Bent cold rolled in a top hat shape,drilled primed and painted I,ve done for outdoor handles but its easier to buy a nice one.

They come in different size tubes and different lengths.

You don't say what your budget is, but here's some links to some that appear to me to be reasonably priced. HTH
