Make Something With PVC Pipe This Weekend

Make Something With PVC Pipe This Weekend

Although not one of the DIY all-star materials, people use PVC pipe to create all sorts of awesome things because it’s cheap, sturdy, and versatile. This lomg weekend, grab some at your local hardware store and tackle one of these fun projects.

Make A Creative Tool

PVC pipe works well for all sorts of creative endeavours. Videographers can make a simple shoulder mount for their camera, as well as a stabiliser, and even a dolly. Musicians can make a microphone stand and a shock mount. For those who get creative on their computers, make this laptop stand instead.

Get Organised

PVC pipe can help you boost your productivity, too. You can use it to wrangle your desk cables or sort the stuff inside your desk by making stackable drawer organisers. If you want organisers on your desk, you can make those too. You can even make a garbage can to hold the things you don’t need anymore. To handle the extra bags, PVC pipe makes for a good garbage bag dispenser as well.

Upgrade Your Home

You can upgrade your home in several different areas with the help of PVC pipe. Thicker pipe makes for an easy wine rack. The same idea works well for shoes, and you only need half of a big pipe to make a dish drying rack. When you need to hide a key, you can do so easily with a little pipe. If you’re looking to get fit, you can go all-out and build a home bodyweight gym. If you prefer to cycle, you can build a bike rack, too. Need a set of speakers? You can make those out of PVC pipe, too! If you need to match a specific colour, you can stain the pipes.

Have a great weekend)!
