Do-it-yourself pipe shelves 210 photos: drawings, layouts, instructions

(Shelf) Bookcase from water pipes do it yourself

When choosing which pipes to make the rack, the author of the photo had difficulties:

• PVC cheap, easy to process, but not elastic enough - will not withstand heavy loadswhich the rack suggests. PVC pipes are suitable for small shelves
• Galvanized steel pipes, more expensive than PVC, strong, durable, but harder to handle.
• Copper pipesare fairly easy to process, stronger than PVC and reasonably affordable.

Therefore, the author's choice fell on copper pipes ....

Attention in this design I am absent back diagonal beams, which usually give stability to wooden shelves, here they are replaced by horizontal supports, which are located under the massive shelves (see photo). The diagonal supports are removed for aesthetics to fully open the back wall. In this case, it is still worth attaching the rack to the wall, which will give additional stability.

This pipe rack can be used for books, flowers, toys, a children's room, perfect for tools in the garage, for shoes, as well as for garden tools in the country

See the rest in the visual step-by-step guide below, presented as a gallery.

Shelf shelf from floor to ceiling on struts

 

As you can see from the step-by-step photos below, the author of the photo made an interesting option of fastening shelves with compression systems. Unscrewing the bolts at the ends of the pipes, you can fix the shelf between the floor and the ceiling, thereby our shelf can do perfectly without the wall as a support, and can also be placed in any open place in the room.

Big do-it-yourself pipe rack

Let's consider how to assemble such a large rack from metal pipes. This rack is perfect for a garage or pantry.

Our shelving is done from ordinary gas pipes.

Flushing: After purchasing the pipe, wash it with either soap and water or brake fluid. After the side racks are assembled, they should be painted with spray paint.

In the shelves we drill holes a little more than the diameter of the pipes, and before installing them on the pipes, we cover the boards with varnish.

The problem is to connect the hangers between the shelves (see photo 11), the fact is that here it is necessary to connect two shelves with a pipe, but when screwing in, one part is screwed in and the other screwed out, because no left thread. In general, if you decide to make the same suspension for the shoulders, then you have to break your brain.

A very simple version of a shoe shelf made of pipes, the creation process is very simple, so we will not focus attention, you will understand everything from the photo

Unfortunately, the author of the photo could not be installed.

 

Large shoe shelf made of pipes under the stairs

Another option is shelves for shoes, only larger. The place under the stairs is usually empty, unless various unnecessary things are put there. And you take and make such a shelf of pipes for shoes. You will need pipes, fittings, adapters and a complete set of plumber tools. But everything is reliable, thoroughly, in a true industrial style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First make a drawing for a specific place, calculate the crossbars and other details, then select fittings and pipes. All this iron can be painted with metal paint, or you can leave it like that, it will look cooler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now we collect all the details according to the scheme, at the end we fix the boards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It turns out here is such a multi-tiered shelf from pipes

 

White pipe shelf in pantry or kitchen

So let's make a shelf of metal gas or water pipes in the kitchen do it yourself over the sink or in the pantry or in the bathroom above the washing machine.

You will again have to go to the store for pipes and other fixtures. Pipes should be washed in soapy water or in brake fluid. Then the pipes should be painted with spray paint, it is better to paint the pipes after they assembled the "designer" of the side supports of the shelves.

If you decide to cut holes above the sink in the first shelf, then to give a smooth shape, the author advises not to be wise, just circle any suitable sized rounded object on the board (see photos 8 and 9).

The author also advises to hang the first level from the pipes of our future shelf on the wall and put a board on this level (see photo 7), then, marking the places where the pipes will go through the boards, cut holes. And then, as by pattern, place all the other boards on our first finished shelf, mark the places of future holes and cut THESE "holes" (see photo 10).

The author claims that at one time on the Internet I did not find a pipe shelf made in white, so I was very worried about being a pioneer. But as we see from the photo the shelf turned out for a feast for the eyes!!!

Rack of 3 pipes from floor to ceiling.

This shelf from galvanized pipes belongs to racks, her plus isthat she fixed in the apartment without a single hole !!! in a wall or ceiling, and can be located away from walls. The method of fastening our shelf is based on the clamps between the floor and the ceiling. According to the author of the photo, making this shelf with your own hands is not at all difficult. So let's look at the features ...

For the rack, the author used flanges, which, unfortunately, had an inner lip. Therefore, the first thing the author had to remove this part of the flange so that the pipes would pass freely inside the flange (see photo 2 - 7).

Next, we cut the pipes necessary for us to be long. When measuring the length of pipes that we need, we must take into account the width of the clamp that will stand between the pipes. This clip should not be too short or too long !!!

The author made a clamp between two pipes (short and long) at the top of the rack, under the stream. But later he came to the conclusion that a short pipe is not needed here, the clamp can be arranged in such a way that it will rest directly against the flange. The presence of a small pipe weakens the stability of the rack (see photo 11). Do not forget to rinse the pipes in soapy water before installation.

Next, cut holes in the shelves for pipes. The author advises putting all the shelves on top of each other, and on the marked upper shelf, as by patternDrill all three holes in all the shelves at once.

Mounting a shelf is not difficult, just collect the shelf from below according to the step-by-step photo of the master class located below in the gallery.

Copper tube kitchen shelf 

So stylish copper tube shelf can really become an adornment of your kitchen interior.The author also really likes his product, so he decided to share how to make such a kitchen shelf from copper pipes with his own hands. Below you can see the photos and read the brief instructions. True, the author did not take step-by-step photos, but on the other hand, the pictures with sizes and arrows indicated the main details that you need to pay attention to. The inscriptions are in English, but there are only a few words: pipe trumpet, connector connector, corner piece corner piece, end caps caps, flange flange, copper screw connector copper screw. More detailed information is on the website of the source, a link under the gallery.

First, start with the parts you need:

• copper pipe (used tubes and fittings 1/2 inch)
• 4 x 90 ° turn signals
• 4 x T connectors
• 4 flanges for wall mounting
• 4 connectors for screwing the copper pipe onto the flanges
• 4 caps for tube boards of any width and length that suit you.
• super glue (the author used a quick-drying two-component epoxy resin)
• polishing paste
• White paint
• transparent coating for copper pipes
• For shelves, the author used three panels measuring 30 x 80 cm painted white.

Start by trimming the copper pipe to the desired size. In this case, it is 10 x 25 cm and 4 x 30 cm, of course you can make your own sizes, depending on the size of your kitchen.

Trimming, polishing and joining

Using a pipe cutter is very simple. Tighten it and twist around the pipe, then again tighten and twist until you cut it. Just don't overdo itso that there is no dent or bend. The most difficult thing is to achieve accuracy and cut off all pipes of the same length.

Then connect the segments. Mix epoxy and apply to the inside of each fitting and the outside of the pipe. Twist to ensure even glue distribution. Assemble the two vertical front parts first. Make sure the connections are parallel. This is the most important part and the most difficult. If the connectors are not parallel, then when you connect the supports for the shelf, they will move in different directions. Therefore, it is better to check again. For now, leave to dry overnight.

The next day connect the remaining pipes. Screw the caps onto the four middle pipes, but leave the two upper and two lower pipes without connectors, this should be done later when you fasten the shelf to the wall. Paint the boards and varnish the copper pipes if you want them to remain shiny. Copper oxidizes rapidly.

When the paint is dry, assemble the shelf. First, screw the copper connectors into the flanges, and then fasten them to the shelf brackets. Mark the places where the holes will be. Then drill holes and screw on the flanges. Put epoxy on pipes and a copper screw and connect them. Hold for about 10 minutes to dry the glue and leave overnight. The next day, put the wooden boards in place!

The shelf is finished!

Floor pipe shelf 

There are many ways to use water pipes to make shelves. Of course pipes, the material is affordable, but if you make, say, a rack from them, then the option is not the cheapest. But this is a good investment, because pipe rack can be disassembled and adapted to almost any conditions. For example, if you rent an apartment or move often, this is a great alternative to giant bookcases or large shelves. Anyway, pipe shelf, the thing is convenient, both in terms of design, industrial style is now in fashion, as well as in terms of functionality - you can use it as a bookcase, a rack for dishes and accessories in the kitchen, or even as a wardrobe, if you upgrade a little.

Materials

pine boards

The author used boards 25 cm wide and 1.80 m long. You can make shelves from wider or narrower boards, the main thing is that they correspond to the length of horizontal pipes.

1/2 "diameter black iron pipe + fittings

The author recommends using a vertical set of pipe supports about every 70 cm of shelf length. In this case, with a shelf length of 1.80 m, 3 supports are installed located at a distance of 75 cm from each other.

Pipe clamps 

Clips are metal hinges with which you can connect pipes to boards. Use 2 clamps for horizontal support and fasten them with screws.

Three stubs

3/4 "plug allows you to easily adjust the level of the shelf, although this is not an essential detail.

Step 1: Cut boards so that in length the ends protrude 10-15 cm beyond the pipes.

Step 2: Sand the boards with sandpaper and treat with wood oil or varnish on an acrylic basis.

Step 3: Twist the pipes manually, but not very much.

Step 4: Attach flanges to Wall. Use a level to make sure the pipes are vertical before screwing the flanges into the wall. If the walls are drywall, use special anchors.

Step 5: If you want the shiny collars to match the black iron pipes, cover the clips with matte black paint from spray can.

Step 6: Fasten the connections.

How to make an industrial-style pipe shelf 

If you have a narrow and long room, then you need an appropriate interior. Therefore, you will probably be interested to know how to make an industrial style pipe shelf, which is ideal just for such a room. The industrial style is in fashion today, you can, for example, glue the walls with brick-like panels, hang a steampunk lamp, make chairs and a table from pipes, then the version of the home-made shelf offered here will be very useful. Think, you might actually try to change the environment.

To prevent the brick from looking like panels, fill the joints with wooden filler and sand well.

The author used 3/4 inch black iron pipes, although this is a matter of taste, you can buy galvanized pipes instead of black ones.

Also, the author bought 5 cm thick boards for a shelf, but if you want, of course, you could save money by buying thinner boards. Grind them well before installation.

First, collect the bottom row of pipes, then temporarily put on the floor where the shelf will stand.

Screw the flanges to the floor. Use a 1 and 1/4 inch drill to drill holes.

The photo clearly shows how the first shelf was installed, so the same for each shelf.

Since the last pipe from above should reach the wall, use a 20 cm pipe. Attach a flange to it, and then screw it into the wall.

In the photo on the right, you see the dimensions of the pipes used in inches inch, this translates to inch, and inch, this is 2.54 cm.

Shelf in the bathroom from pipes

To make such a shelf out of pipes is not a difficult task, but you will have to work. The main task is to get the pipes. If you want to do everything yourself, you will need a grinder and a die and, accordingly, a complete set of locksmith tools. From materials, if you are going to make the same shelf in size as in the photograph, you will need to prepare:

 

• Two pieces of pipe 300, 260, 460 mm long
• 200 mm pipes for cross - 8 pieces
• 700 mm pipes - 2 pcs.
• Eight tees
• Ten knees
• 4 galvanized flanges
• Plywood 25 mm thick 600 by 300

 

 

 

First of all, we prepare all the details, cut the plywood according to the size of the shelves

• We drill holes in the shelves of 25 mm, grind, varnish or paint.
• We screw flanges on the lower ends of the pipes, tees on top, a horizontal pipe with tees at the end to the tees.
• We fix the next part of the pipe from above, and through the holes we “put on” the shelf.
• So gradually we collect the entire rack, at the upper ends we wind the flanges.
• Check the level, if necessary, adjust the shelves horizontally.

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
•  

By the way, the flanges can not be screwed to the floor, but simply glued, unless you are going to store something very heavy on the shelves.
