shoe rack



Materials Needed:

  1. PVC Pipes (1-inch or ¾-inch diameter)
    • Horizontal shelf supports (cut to width of the rack)
    • Vertical support pipes (cut to desired height)
    • Side connectors (shorter pieces to connect tiers)
  2. PVC Elbow Connectors (90-degree)
  3. PVC T-Connectors
  4. PVC End Caps (optional, for a clean finish)
  5. PVC Pipe Cutter or Hacksaw
  6. Measuring Tape & Marker
  7. PVC Primer & Cement (optional for extra strength)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Measure and Cut the PVC Pipes

  • Determine the width of the rack (length of horizontal pipes).
  • Decide the depth of the rack (front-to-back size of the shelf supports).
  • Determine the height (how many shelves you need).
  • Cut all PVC pipes to the required dimensions.

Example:

  • Width: 80 cm (horizontal pipes)
  • Depth: 25 cm (side depth pipes)
  • Height: 100 cm (vertical pipes, divided into sections for each shelf)

Step 2: Assemble the Side Frames

  1. Create two identical side frames using T-connectors and elbow connectors.
  2. Insert vertical pipes into the T-connectors at equal spacing (this determines shelf heights).
  3. Use elbow connectors at the top corners to form a stable frame.

Step 3: Add the Horizontal Supports

  1. Connect horizontal shelf pipes to the T-connectors on each side.
  2. Ensure all horizontal pipes are evenly spaced and aligned.

Step 4: Secure the Structure

  1. Push all pipes into the connectors firmly.
  2. If needed, apply PVC primer and cement at joints for extra durability.
  3. Let it dry completely.

Step 5: Place Shoes & Final Touches

  • Insert PVC end caps on open ends for a finished look.
  • Optionally, add rubber grips at the base to prevent slipping.
  • Load your shoes onto the rack.

Customization Ideas:

  • Paint the PVC pipes for a stylish look.
  • Add a wooden or mesh layer on each shelf for extra stability.
  • Adjust the dimensions to fit your space.
