Rod holder

[Angealy]

Here's what i decided to make after not knowing where to put my many rods i have.

It's all made out of PVC tubing and can be glued together or just dry fit, i'll leave more details later when asked.

Nice work! I like the creativity. Because a variety of errant balls  make their way into my garage, I had to opt for a horizontal orientation storage that's completely "out of the way" since a vertical storage would make my rods virtual bowling pins.

How did you make this ? Ha I was just googling ideas Bc I need one bad and this looks perfect.

islandbass: Thank you, I enjoyed making this project and with my bait caster being about 6 feet tall i'm pushing it.
But as long as i don't get rods higher than 7 feet or higher i think i'll be alright.

 

gaspumper: I love the setup man, What neat idea

 

Ksam1234: I'm glad you asked, I used 1-1/2-in pvc and fitting for the whole project.

I was able to find all my parts at lowes, If you don't have one near you you may be able to find these parts else where.

 

Now onto the project, I'll leave a list of what you'll need and tools i used.

1. A single pvc pipe 1-1/2-in, 10 feet length. "I found this was the perfect length for me and when the project was over i had about two feet left that could of been used for mess ups or something."

2. Six 1-1/2-in T fittings. "Get the cheapest ones if you can"

3. Four 1-1/2-in 90 degree angle fittings. "Get the cheapest ones if you can"

4. pvc all purpose cement used for gluing it all together.

"Honestly, You don't need to glue it and could use it as dry fit and you could always add onto it later if you want to."

"However, In my case i glued it all together to make it more stable/permanent."

Tools: measuring tape for making your pipe the right length, some sort of sharpie or maker for marking the pipe, workshop vice for holding the pipe while cutting it, wood handle saw or reciprocating saw or dremel for cutting the pipe into smaller pieces.

After you have all these things it's time to start.

 

Take your single pvc pipe 1-1/2-in, 10 feet length and cut ten four inch pieces you'll be using these for the base and fittings.

Take your single pvc pipe 1-1/2-in, 10 feet length "It's much smaller now but you get the point" and now cut six six inch pieces these will be used for your rods and these pieces go into the T fittings.

After that you should now have all the pieces to put this together and everything test fitted, Hopefully this was helpful.

Edit: I have added this picture to hopefully give you a better understanding.

For those wondering where i got this idea from, I saw people make one in this video and decided i could do the very same.
