Proposal

a typical carpet hanger

carpet hanger (also carpet stand or carpet rack) is a construction to hang carpets for cleaning with the help of carpet beaters.

Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpet_hanger

Rationale

Currently there is no documented tagging scheme for this feature. At this moment amenity=beater is typically used, but it seems poor tag name, not matching English name for this feature.

Tagging

Use man_made=carpet_hanger on a node.

Features/Pages affected

Tag:man_made=carpet_hanger would be created

Testing

I mapped several objects during making a map for small orienteering competition and I encountered no issues. I initially used amenity=beater, but I recently retagged this objects to man_made=carpet_hanger.

• I approve this proposal. To start voting (I do not really care whatever man_made or amenity key was used in this proposal, but among people who cared (and commented on the mailing list) man_made had greater support). --Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 12:05, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

• I approve this proposal. As this is small construction like eg. bbq, bench or telephone, I prefer amenity=carpet_hanger more (man_made=* is for bigger constructions like chimneys, lighthouses or windmills), but if most of votes here will be for man_made key, I can agree too.

• I approve this proposal. I initially also thought amenity would fit better but a carpet hanger is usually semi-private and not used by everyone like a bench. Man_made makes less assumptions about the accessibility. --Jojo4u (talk) 16:06, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
