The wall it needs to be attached to is around 3 metres long.

I built mine using some 75*35mm timber and rounded over with a router on the top of the rail. I fixed it to the wall with recessed coach screws directly into the wall studs. To get the space between the wall and the rail I used a holesaw to cut a few wooden round spacers.
