If you're making several of these, once you have one of the crossmembers set up with all the right angles glued, just make a jig using another set of pipes that comes up, out and then turns to go back into the t junction (the bit at 8:40). Just make sure to only glue the angles parts so you can still slip it in and out. That way you can just put the glue/cement in and turn the parts until the line up with your jig.
I didn't expect it to hold his weight. That's cool. Really seems like a serious solution. I think I may build something similar this weekend - now I have multiple sets of gear and a drysuit I think it's time.
I don't know if this was presented below in the comments, but in Step 2, unless I am wrong, the 1-1/4" pipe cut list is missing 2 - 33-1/8" pieces, fyi. Regardless, your plan is fantastic and well thought out. I do plan on reducing it to perhaps 4' as I don't have that much gear to hang. Thanks for your wonderful work!!
I like using the Hyloft 45” wall shelves from Lowes. $50 got me two of them. They can hold 200 pounds each. The wire style shelving makes it easy to hang wetsuits, regulators, and BCD off of the end. It also makes it easy to clip off Al your spools, DSMB, lights, etc on the wires.
Can you add an overall parts list to this? Like a total amount of each fitting, and a total amount of each pipe length? That will be very helpful for when people are actually at the store purchasing the pieces
Thanks for the video - I need to build something like this. I do not have a lot of experience but you make it look easy enough. Question: is the glue required? I have used PVC racks for other things (towels around the pool) in the past and seems to me that everything holds well just by putting the pipe completely into the fitting (the t, or the angle, or the bushing). Not using glue would allow me to take it apart and make all the minor adjustments to ensure everything is 90 degrees.
Why did you only give the parts and cut lists for the first three steps? Can you add the parts and cuts for steps 4 & 5 (the upper risers and top bar) to the description, please?
Thanks for the guide! Unfortunately all the hardware and home reno stores in my neighbourhood only have 3/4", 1" or 1 1/2" PVC fittings and pipes. Can I go with 1" instead of 1 1/4" and still have enough strength?
Scubabum350, 1” sch 40 pvc might work for the entire rack, although I have not tested to see how sturdy it would be. Most outdoor furniture made of pvc uses 1 1/4”, so that was what I used for racks as I knew it would be plenty strong. Good luck, Josh
If you cut the pipe with a hand saw, use sand paper to clean the edges, it makes it easier to put it into elbows and things like that and it looks better, just don't shear the edges with sand paper too much, it'll ruin the pipe like that

Josh in his element! Never seen him so stoked. Love the rack. Thank you.

Did you put this together? How much did it and up costing?

Nice now I need to go build something like this in my Garage now lol
Nice job Josh! 👍
Fantastic description
All the fitting are pressure fitting, with a little redesign you could use DWV fitting and say yourself a little money
Thanks for the breakdown Josh. Seems easy enough.
Thank a lot for the video. I planning to make on in the next months
Great video, thank you

woow awsm❤
Awesome
Do you have the plans for the 7x7 rack? I am tall and have a family of 4 divers for stuff to hang

Apologies. That was my fault. Josh asked me to add the entire list and I left out a portion. It has now been added. Sorry for the inconvenience! Lyell
Just bought all the parts at Home Depot in Hawaii, 320 bucks
Yeah that's what stocked me in Missouri, I thought this build was under $50!?
Is it possible to screw in instead of sticking so that it can be disassembled in the off season?
Awesome. Do you know by chance how many sticks of 1-1/4" pipe is needed for entire project?
Thanks Robert, I believe we used 6(six) 10ft sticks of 1 1/4”. Good luck, Josh

If one were to put this rack on casters, do you feel the structure is stable enough as is or would it require some diagonal bracing?
It would be worth a try Mitch, worst case you might need to add some bracing. Let us know how it turns out. Josh
Now add air to it and you can air dry your gear!!
