Construct A Garment Rack

Garment racks are great for hanging clothes right out of the dryer, organizing rooms with very little closet space or just for providing portability of clothes. You can construct a sturdy garment rack from PVC pipe in just moments, or follow the same basic principles using thick wooden dowels or metal pipes, if desired. Since this project also allows you to choose a fixed base or wheels, you can customize it to fit your needs.


Instructions


1. Connect two of the 48-inch pipes with an elbow connector.


2. Use the other elbow connector to attach a third 48-inch pipe to form a square C shape.


3. Attach the top middle part of the four-way connectors to the open ends of the square C shape. Then connect the fourth 48-inch pipe to the bottom middle connector hole to create a 48-inch square.


4. On either side of the 48-inch square, insert the 12-inch pipes into the remaining holes of the four-way connectors. Your garment rack should stand now, although it will be wobbly.


5. If using PVC elbows, connect these to the ends of the 12-inch pipes, with the other connector hole resting on the floor. If using furniture wheels, drill a small hole in the underside of the ends of the 12-inch pipes and insert the wheels into these holes.
