Buy 3 or 4 pieces of PVC, put holes top and bottom for a rope to go through - knot rope so PVC “sits” on rope knot. Hang on hook on the wall. Holds 3-4 blankets.
We used PVC pipe that we cut into sections and then strung inexpensive rope through them and then tied them and used metal clips to connect them to stall doors so that we could open each one up to hang a blanket on and then clip it back to the door easily. Really cheap and really easy to make! Each horse has their own bar on their stall door making it easy to see who’s blankets are who’s.
My old barn has really thick sidewall posts, like 8x8". So I nailed two rows of 2x4s across those posts, and the folded blankets fold nicely over those 2x4s, in the hollows betw the posts. I know most barns won’t have beams like that, but main thing I wanted to add is: the sturdier the better. You want to be able to just pull on one end of the blanket to take it off its hanger/rod–not fuss around gingerly lifting and removing it. So you’ll be happy if you make sure the rod is something quite strong, and is attached very securely to its mooring point.
You could probably make something out of PVC. Use T- connectors and a bar for each blanket about a foot apart. If I had a drawing program on the iPad I could draw what I’m thinking. Basically,each t connector can be slightly offset from the others so the blankets aren’t all piled on top of each other. Make a wide base and a pole which is tall enough to keep all the blankets off the ground.
I also found a cheap hinged bar somewhere years ago made to hang blankets from that I mounted in my trailer.
My husband made a nice homemade blanket rack just using a 4 x 4 cut to whatever length you need, drilled holes in the top and used water piping, I think he used copper as he had some in the loft. You put an elbow on the end of the straight piece (also cut to whatever length you like - I did mine around 2ft) and the elbow then goes in the drilled hole. The copper piece swivels and I was able to put about 10 holders on the one piece of wood (drilled about 8"-12" apart from each other). Super cheap and looks great! He even put little copper ends on the long 2ft piece so the blankets wouldnt catch as I was loading them up.
I don’t have any pictures of it, but I can get one if you need one. Hopefully I explained it ok! It looks similar to the ones with wood dowling but it does not sag as the copper has an elbow and sticks up a few inches before it branches straight out. The plus is that it swivels as well, so the can stick straight out if the blankets are wet, or tucked against the wall to save space if the blankets are nice and dry. I was also able to load several blankets on each piece 
PS I also have 2 of these racks and take them out when I have wet blankets. Put 2 sturdy hangers at each end, and that will space out the blanket sides when it’s draped over the top. Run a fan under it and it dries really well.
We use the single bicycle hooks to hang the blankets from.

I would love a picture! I can’t visualize things like this but it sounds simple!
