Does anyone use floor mat hangers? Is there a cheaper DIY method?

I just insulated and drywalled my garage where I do a majority of my detailing work. Need something to hang floor mats while they dry and am considering these...

Is there a cheaper, DIY alternative? For what it's worth, I do like the look(very professional) but hard to justify the cost.

Thanks in advance,
David
 
Can you somehow mount spring clamps? That's what I use but they are clamped at the top of my privacy fence
 
That's what we use. I've been keeping my eyes open for something better for 5 years now. Going rate is about $10 plus shipping.
 
I use these cheapo clamps from Harbor Freight... luckily i have a 4' chain link fence (upper horizontal pipe) on my property line that i use to clamp my mats to while drying. Works perfect and they have never failed me.

I take two Bessey (any brand will do) 3" spring clamps (similar to the one here but all metal), drill a 3/8" hole in one handle and lash them together with a heavy tie wrap and hang them that way. Tie wraps are cheap and I just snip them and discard if I need the clamps for something else.
 
I use the commercial grade ones like the coin op has and love them.

Thanks all for the feedback. Sure wish my garage looked like Jeremy1976's - floor drain, good lighting, etc. Gotta step up my game LOL! Living in the upper midwest, detailing is a seasonal occupation(spring through fall) for me.
