Furniture manufacturing begins with the choice of design and its design implementation. You need to start from the function that the furniture will perform. Then select the design parameters:

• collapsible or solid;
• dimensions of the entire product;
• number of elements and their sizes;
• method of connecting parts of a structure.

What materials are needed

Necessary materials for creating furniture from PVC pipes

After the design has been selected, it is necessary to draw up a list of materials and tools needed to create the craft. For this you may need:

• plastic pipes;
• fasteners: glue, screws, self-tapping screws;
• fitting.

Stages of the plastic pipe welding process

Plastic pipes are easy to cut. This leaves a sharp edge with burrs that must be cleaned off. Just cut the thread. When heated, polymer pipes bend well, retaining their new shape after cooling. Sometimes it is easier to bend the frame rather than assemble it using pieces of pipes and fittings.

Plastic pipes of various shapes and fittings for them

Plastic pipes come in several types. They all differ in price and ability to withstand different loads and temperature conditions. Knowing the properties of each type of pipe, you can make optimal choice and save money.

They are divided according to purpose:

• plumbing
• sewer.

Variety of types of plastic pipes

From the point of view of furniture making and useful devices for everyday life sewer pipes, unlike tap ones, benefit from a lower price. They are manufactured in large diameters.

Based on the type of polymer from which the pipes are made, they are divided into:

• polyvinyl chloride (PVC);

PVC pipes of different diameters and colors

• polyethylene (PE);

Polyethylene pipes large diameter, straight and corrugated

• polypropylene (PP).

Polypropylene pipes and fittings for them

They differ slightly in properties. Polyethylene behaves worse when elevated temperatures and under the influence sun rays, it is elastic. Polypropylene pipes are more durable and rigid. Positive quality PVC pipes have increased resistance to chemical attack and reduced flammability. They tolerate ultraviolet exposure very well. The difference in the performance characteristics of polymers in most cases will not be critical for the manufacture of furniture. But differences in price are a factor that should be taken into account. The most expensive are polypropylene. Optimal ratio price-quality for creation furniture designs have PVC pipes.

In addition, pipes can be reinforced or unreinforced. Polymer pipes are most often reinforced with fiberglass or aluminum. The reinforcing layer is soldered between two layers of polymer. This is done to increase strength, rigidity, and reduce linear expansion when heated. Use polypropylene reinforced pipes for hot water supply. The letters RC are added to the designation of a reinforced pipe. By appearance they can also be distinguished. In addition, some manufacturers apply a colored stripe along the pipe, informing about the scope of application of the product. Pipes with a blue stripe are used for cold water supply, with a red stripe for hot water or pipelines with coolant. The presence of both stripes indicates the versatility of the pipe. It should be borne in mind that reinforced pipes, although stronger, are much more expensive. Make a decision on the advisability of additional expenses for the master.

What tools to use

In order to update your interior with crafts made from plastic pipes with your own hands, you need a minimum amount of tools:

• a hacksaw or special scissors for plastic pipes;
• pencil or marker;
• roulette;
• file;
• special soldering iron for plastic pipes;
• drill.

Gloves and safety glasses will help. Despite the fact that working with PVC pipes is not dangerous, chips still fly when sawing and sharp edges remain. To avoid damaging your hands and eyes, it is better to use protection.

Basic principles for making objects from polypropylene pipes

Beautiful and useful things made with your own hands from polypropylene pipes

2. Decorative self-adhesive film - too a good option for decorating furniture and interior items made of polypropylene pipes. If you choose the right picture, it is not always possible to determine that the furniture is made from waste pipes. When coated with varnish, such items become moisture resistant and their service life increases.
3. Drilling round or shaped slots adds originality. This decoration method is suitable for glasses, lamps, and mirror frames.
4. Painting or carving on the surface will decorate many items made from plastic pipes.
5. Unique crafts are obtained by combining plastic with elements made of tin or plexiglass.

You can make a garage rack from various available materials; pipes are especially suitable for this. To assemble a storage system from them, it is not necessary to have a welding machine.

A few words about design options

Before making the furniture in question, you should decide on its tasks and design.

Most often, shelving from the following types of pipes is installed in the garage:

• Wall-mounted- are a stand-alone structure that is not attached to the wall. Thanks to this, the product can be transported. Another advantage is that the structure does not put a load on the walls, which is important when they are not very strong, for example, framed or covered with plasterboard;

• Stationary- unlike wall-mounted ones, they have racks only on the front side, so the load-bearing function of the rear racks is performed by the wall to which the shelves are attached. That is why such models are called stationary;

• - unlike stationary ones, these products have rear supporting posts, as a result of which the shelves are attached in a cantilever manner, i.e. only from the back side, while the front side simply hangs in the air. The frame of such a product can be attached to the wall or be portable.

Note! Console models take up a little space, but have a small load capacity, so for storage heavy objects they don't fit.

• Hanging- unlike all the products described above, they are hung on the wall, so the entire load falls on the walls, not the floor. In essence, these are ordinary shelves, but larger in size and connected to each other by construction sites. They can be either console or regular, i.e. with front pillars.

The most versatile are wall-mounted and stationary structures, as they allow you to store everything from tools and all kinds of small items to wheels and various heavy objects. If the garage is small, it makes sense to use suspended structures, installed under the ceiling, as a result of which the lower part of the garage will be unloaded.

Wall metal rack

First, we’ll tell you how to weld a wall-mounted or stationary rack from a pipe.

This work includes several stages:

• Design;
• Preparation of materials and tools;
• Assembly of the structure.

Project preparation

First, you need to decide on the location of the future product in the garage so as not to make a mistake with the dimensions. Write down the results on paper immediately.

Then you need to draw a design diagram. If, then its basis is made up of sidewalls in the form of two racks, between which jumpers are located.

The sidewalls are connected to each other by beams. In this case, the lintels and beams form the basis for the shelves. Stationary racks have the same design, but without rear posts, and often there are no rear beams. Therefore, the jumpers are attached directly to the wall.

Be sure to indicate on the diagram following parameters designs:

• Overall height - to save space in the garage, it makes sense to make furniture as high as the ceiling. On upper shelves you can store items that you rarely use;
• The length of the structure and the depth of the shelves - these parameters have already been written down on paper, since they correspond to the dimensions of the area on which you want to place the product;

• The distance between the shelves is selected depending on the dimensions of the items that will be stored on them. It must be said that the distance between the shelves does not have to be the same. For example, the compartments for storing rubber can be made larger - 600-700 mm, and it is advisable to make the space between the remaining shelves smaller so that more of them can fit.

After preparing the project, you can start working.

Preparing materials and tools

First of all, you need to prepare the pipes. There are no specific requirements for their diameter or, for example, wall thickness.

Therefore, if you specifically buy materials for these purposes, estimate the future loads on the structure, and in accordance with them, select the pipes “by eye”. But, most often, such furniture is made from what is available “at hand”, so there is no choice.

Advice! It is advisable to use profiled pipes for shelving, as they are more durable. But, if you don’t have these, use regular ones, i.e. round.

The only thing is, if you are going to make furniture not for the garage, but, for example, for a house or cottage (see), it is advisable to use chrome pipes for shelving, as they have a more attractive appearance.

In addition to the main material, you will need fittings to connect all the parts - 90-degree angles and tees. To find out the required number, count the number of 90-degree connections, as well as “triple” joints.

For legs future design Flanges are ideal for wall mounting. Also calculate the number of flanges you will need on the diagram.

You should also prepare the material for the shelves - this could be plywood, OSB, boards or wooden slats. To attach shelves to lintels and beams, use self-tapping screws and horseshoe brackets that match the diameter of the tubes.

To protect the product from negative impacts and give it an attractive look, you will need paints and varnishes on wood and metal.

As for the tools, prepare the following set:

• Grinder/hacksaw for metal;
• Welding machine (if you don't have welding machine, all elements can be connected using threads. In this case, you will need threading dies or another tool for these purposes);
• Metal files and sandpaper;
• Tape measure and pencil;
• Electric drill;
• Jigsaw;
• Paint brush.

Important! If you are making shelving for your home, cut the chrome pipe yourself using a special cutter, which allows you to preserve the chrome coating.

It is also advisable to have a workbench with a vice, which will greatly simplify the work.

Assembly of the structure

Instructions for making a rack are as follows:

Illustrations	Actions
	Apply markings to the workpieces according to the dimensions of the parts indicated in the project.
	Cut the workpieces with a grinder or a special marking device. The result should be racks, lintels and beams.
	Cut threads on the ends of all parts.
	To ensure that fittings can be easily screwed onto the prepared parts, lubricate the threads with machine oil.
	Assemble the structure according to the project. First, the sidewalls are assembled from two posts and lintels, and then connected by beams. If the structure is stationary, a flange is screwed onto the free end of the jumper.
	If the tubes are not chrome, paint them. For these purposes, you can use car paint in a can.

At this point the frame is ready. In the same way, the product is made by welding, the only thing is that the work is somewhat simplified, since there is no need to cut a thread.

Now you need to complete the shelves:

Illustrations	Actions
	To make shelves, mark the material from which you are going to make them according to the project.
	Cut the shelves according to the markings using a jigsaw or other tool.
	Sand the surface of the shelves with sandpaper or an electric sander.
	Paint or varnish the shelves using a regular paint brush.
	To attach the shelves to the frame, use staples and screws. The latter are screwed in from below, making the fasteners invisible. The main thing is that the screws do not go right through the shelf.

Note! Shelves are not required for all types of shelving. Eg, car tires It is more convenient to lay in the space between the beams. Also, a pipe rack, which most often has a cantilever design, does not require shelves.

With this our rack is ready. Using this principle, you can assemble any type of structure.

Plastic rack

IN Lately pipelines in houses and apartments are most often made of polypropylene pipes (PP), so this material may be on hand in the garage. It is also quite suitable for making furniture.

Of course, a rack made of PP pipes has a slightly lower load capacity. However, in most cases its strength is quite sufficient. He can handle it quite well various instrument and other small items that are usually kept in the garage, or canned goods in the cellar.

The process of manufacturing a plastic shelving includes the same three stages:

1. Design;
2. Preparation of materials;
3. Manufacturing.

Preparation of materials

Since the design of the product is carried out in the same way, we will skip this stage and proceed straight to the preparation of materials. So, in addition to polypropylene pipes, you will need fittings, as well as shelf material and brackets to secure the shelves. Essentially, everything is the same as in the case described above.

Advice! For a plastic rack you can make shelves from plastic window sill. Such furniture will be resistant to moisture and other negative influences.

The following set of tools will be needed:

• Welding machine (soldering iron);
• stripping;
• Scissors for cutting plastic pipes;
• Tape measure and pencil.

Advice! The price of a good soldering iron is quite high. Therefore, to make one rack, it is more advisable to rent it.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing of parts and assembly is carried out as follows:

Illustrations	Actions
	Mark and cut the pipes to obtain the required lengths for posts, beams and lintels.
	If pipes are reinforced with foil, their edges must be cleaned. To do this, place the parts on the edge special device, which is called stripping, and turn. Cleaning on the principle of pencil shavings will remove upper layer pipes along with foil.
	Warm up the soldering iron. Wait until it turns off, then heats up again and turns off.
	Insert the end of the pipe and fitting into the nozzle and wait until the plastic softens. The heating time depends on the diameter of the parts and the device itself. Therefore, the device comes with a table indicating the relationships between all these values. Advice! If this is your first time welding plastic, in order not to spoil the workpieces, first practice on unnecessary scraps and fittings.
	Insert the pipe into the fitting until it stops. Make sure that the fitting sits evenly, without distortions. The parts must be held in this position without moving them so that the plastic cools down. Using this principle, assemble the entire structure.

That's all the nuances of assembling the structure. As for the manufacture and fastening of shelves, this work is carried out according to the scheme described above.

Conclusion

As you can see, the pipes are excellent material for making shelving, and working with them is absolutely easy. But, before making a shelving unit from pipes, we recommend that you spend a few minutes and watch the video in this article, which contains useful information.

Having once tried my abilities in installing water pipes PVC pipes, you will understand that working with the material and the way of connecting plastic elements opens up a wide range of creative possibilities. From plastic pieces and various elements to connect them, you can make almost anything that has a frame base, piece of furniture, useful device for the dacha. It could be a chair, an armchair, a stand, a table, a bed. Do-it-yourself shelves made of PVC pipes are perhaps included in a separate group, since it presents products that are varied in purpose, size and appearance.

To make a shelf from pipes, you do not need to have any special skills or experience. If the planned product consists only of plastic, you will only need a cutting tool and glue. And you can do without the latter by making a collapsible structure.

Items from polymer structures neat, aesthetic even without additional decorative covering. Experts say that modern plastic is a durable, environmentally friendly material and does not pose a threat to human health.

Creative shelf to display your collection

The simplest version of a shelf made of plastic elements is pieces of material assembled together. This original composition is best hung on the wall. Select the diameter of the pipe that you will use in the project depending on the dimensions of the items placed on the shelf. If, as in our version, the cells are occupied by cars, then 15-20 cm will be enough.

Preparing for work

For work, prepare:

• piece plastic pipe about 15 cm in diameter;
• a hacksaw for cutting material (we recommend using a vice so that the plastic does not slip while working with a hacksaw) or a pipe cutter;
• roulette;
• pencil;
• glue;
• clamps or large clothespins;
• sandpaper;
• paint blue color in a jar or can;
• brush.

To hang the product on the wall, use a drill and 2-3 screws with dowels.

Description of work

1. Place marks along the length of the pipe in increments of 20-25 cm. The number of elements depends on what size shelf you need.
2. Secure the material using a vice and cut the pieces according to the marks.
3. Lightly sand the outer edges of the pieces.
4. In order for the product to have an even color, coloring must be done at this stage. Place the plastic elements on a newspaper-covered or protective film flat surface. Paint them on one side. When the paint is completely dry, turn the pieces over and apply paint again.
5. Start building the shelf. The composition can be either completely symmetrical or chaotically folded. When giving shape when connecting elements, take into account the features of the interior in which the item will be located.
6. Glue the parts together, starting with the middle ones. After applying glue and joining the pieces, secure them with clamps or large clothespins until the glue dries. Then move on to the next elements.
7. Place the finished shelf against the wall, mark the places for screwing in the screws.
8. Prepare holes in the wall.
9. Place dowels in them.
10. Screw in the screws.

Job completed, hang the shelf, help your son or daughter organize his collection of favorite toys.

Everything ingenious is simple! Using this idea, you can build a table shelf for wine bottles. The main thing is to choose the material suitable size and ensure that the base of the structure is stable. For originality, combine elements of different diameters.

Make a floor shelf for shoes in the same way. Of course, here you will need a pipe big size, for example, such as is used when installing a sewer system. Take care of proper decoration. And keep in mind that glue is unlikely to be able to hold a heavy large structure. Therefore, it is better to connect the elements using a screw-nut method, having previously drilled holes in the right places.

Floor shelf for books

Do it yourself bookshelf made of plastic elements - it is original and economically accurate profitable solution. Starting with the shelf, you can create an interior ensemble that will match your individual style. The work will not require large expenditures of money and time. Even a beginner can handle it.

Dark matte paint And wooden parts give the product an elegant and industrial look.

Materials and tools

• Roulette;
• PVC cutter;
• 1-inch (2.5 cm) PVC pipe with a total length of 30 feet (about 9 m);
• 1 inch polymer pipe, 30 feet
• pine board measuring 6x12 feet (1.8x3.66 m);
• a circular saw;
• PVC glue;
• 1-inch three-way plastic connector – 12 pcs.;
• 1-inch 90 degree swivel angles – 4 pcs.;
• 1.25x0.75-inch (3.2x1.9 cm) PVC sleeve - 4 pcs.;
• paint in a vacuum can;
• stain;
• latex gloves;
• 1-inch (2.5 cm) 2-hole galvanized shelf hinges - 12 pcs.;
• drill with drills;
• screwdriver;
• 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) metal screws - 24 pcs.

Before you begin assembling the shelf, use a special cutter to cut the polyvinyl chloride into pieces of the required length:

• 12 pieces 18 inches (45.7 cm);
• 6 pieces 12 inches (30.5 cm) long;
• 2 pieces 17 inches (43.2 cm) long;
• 4 pieces 2 inches long. (5.1 cm).

Now cut the wood using circular saw into 3 pieces measuring 2x12 feet (0.6x3.66 m). Sand the edges and surface of the workpieces in advance for wooden shelves.

Description of work

1. Take an 18-inch piece and attach a three-way connector to it. To strengthen the connection, use PVC glue. Now attach another 18-inch piece to the connector so that the pipe extends upward. Attach another three-way connector to the other end of the 18-inch piece. Before the glue dries completely, place the resulting fragment on flat surface and make sure all connectors are facing the same way. Then attach the third element to the three-way connector in the same way. Finish by attaching another three-way connector to the top of the last 18-inch piece. While the glue is still wet, place the pieces on a flat surface, making sure all connectors are the same. Assemble three more legs in the same way.

Every time you connect a piece of plastic to a 90 degree elbow or three-way connector, apply PVC adhesive to the inner part connecting piece, as well as on the outside of the pipe, about 1 cm. After connecting, be sure to remove excess glue with a damp sponge.

1. Secure the two legs you just created together by placing a 12-inch piece of resin horizontally into the first row of three-way connectors on each leg. Do the same on the remaining two levels. The result is one side of the bookshelf. Repeat the same steps with the other two legs - get the other side of the shelf.
2. Proceed with assembling the top connectors. Take two 17-inch pieces of PVC and attach 90 degree swivel pieces to each end. Lay the resulting structures on a flat surface before the glue dries - make sure that the curved elements are absolutely symmetrically located.
3. Connect the two sides. Attach a 2-inch length of resin to the top of the three-way connectors at the top of the legs. Now attach both sides of the shelf together using the 17″ pieces you cut earlier. Attach grommets to the bottom of the legs to give the shelf extra support. You received reliable design with good rigidity.
4. At this point, you can paint the shelf frame by spraying the paint evenly. We use matte black, but you can choose any other color that suits your interior better.

To avoid uneven coloring, apply several layers. Each subsequent layer of paint can be applied after the previous one has completely dried.

1. Stain the workpieces with stain wooden shelf following the manufacturer's directions on the label. If you want the tree to gain more dark color, cover the parts with several layers of the substance. Make sure you give the same shade to each piece of wood.
2. Once the stain has completely dried, you need to pre-drill holes in the shelves to attach them to plastic frame. Attach the shelf to its place on the frame, place metal loops at the bottom, wrap them around the plastic, put marks in the holes to indicate the joints. Proceed with all three shelves. Each board must be fastened with 4 hinges and 8 European screws.
3. Drill all holes using a drill.
4. Turn the bookshelf upside down to make it easier to install the screws. You may need a helper to hold the wood pieces in place. Attach the shelves with hinges to the plastic bases. This can be done manually using a screwdriver. If you prefer to work with electric drill, you risk splitting the wood.

The plastic and wood shelf is ready.

Organizer shelf for utility room

A large shelf-rack will allow you to restore order in any utility room. Plastic containers are easy to store holiday decorations, clothes and other household items. At the same time, all things are kept within reach, and even a child can get them. The entire structure is made of high quality plastic. The material is ideal for damp basements or garages as it is waterproof and mildew resistant.

For work you will need

• 1.25-inch (3.8 cm) plastic piece - 92 feet (28.04 m);
• 1.25-inch (3.8 cm) 4-way connectors - 12 pieces;
• 1.25-inch (3.8 cm) 5-way connectors - 18 pieces;
• 1.25-inch (3.8 cm) end caps for polymer parts - 10 pieces;
• 12 plastic containers, approximately 16 x 18 inches (40.6 x 45.7 cm);
• roulette;
• pencil;
• circular saw or pipe cutter;
• drill with drills;
• screws;
• hammer;
• screwdriver.

Before assembly, use a circular saw or pipe cutter to cut plastic parts the right size:

• 15 blanks of 13 inches (33 cm);
• 54 pieces of 16 inches (40.6 cm).

Description of the order of assembling shelves for containers

1. Take a 13-inch piece of plastic and attach a 1.25-inch 4-way connector to both ends so that the through hole is exactly vertical. Use glue when connecting. Wipe off excess substance immediately. Make 6 such connections.
2. Attach a 16-inch long pipe to each top hole, which is located at both ends of the resulting blanks. Apply glue to the edge (0.5-1 cm) of the parts to be joined. Do the same steps with all 6 fragments.
3. Now connect 3 finished fragments into one rack. To do this, place the free edges of the 16-inch pieces into the bottom holes of the connector pieces. Use glue. As a result, you will have 2 side racks.
4. At both ends of the 13-inch piece, install a 1.25-inch connecting piece that has 5 outlets, as shown in the figure below (in the center hole). Use glue when doing the work. In total, collect 9 similar nodes.
5. Attach 16-inch pieces to all free holes of the connecting parts (except for the bottom and already occupied - central) pieces as suggested by the diagram below. Use glue to securely attach. There should be 3 such large nodes in total.

Attention! In this project, you can choose exactly how to strengthen the connection of parts - with glue or with screw connection. If you prefer the latter, use screws with a special anti-corrosion coating (galvanized).

1. Connect all three pieces into one structure by inserting the free ends of the top 16-inch pieces into the free bottom holes of the connecting pieces. Strengthen the resulting knot using the method you choose. The ends of the vertical elements of the upper part and all the end ones must remain free (see image). The interior of the rack is ready.
2. Assemble the inside of the shelving unit with the side posts. To do this, place the ends of the 16-inch end pieces into the corresponding free holes in the side post connectors. Secure the structure with screws or glue.
3. To complete the assembly of the structure, plug parts should be placed on the free ends of the upper tubes. This will give the product a finished, neat look and prevent water, dust, and insects from getting inside.

Place the colored containers in the cells prepared for them. You can be happy to fill out useful and beautiful furniture. You are convinced that it is easy to make from plastic parts like small device, and a fairly large structure. Think, perhaps, with the help of plastic products you can make your life even more convenient and organized without great expense and effort.
