Easy-To-Make PVC Boot Rack

Easy-To-Make PVC Boot Rack FARM HOME Clothes 29-3-18 Andy Offenburger of Chariton, Iowa loves his home-built boot-drying rack because it was easy to make, saves space, and holds 24 pairs of boots. "You can make any size you want," he says. "You just buy 1 1/2-in. pvc Y's, elbows and pipe. The pipe and the elbows are used to form a rectangular frame, and the Y's are what you hang your boots on. I've got mine spaced so that there's a 5-in. long section of pvc between each Y. The Y's are on a 45¦ angle." Offenburger's boot rack mounts to the wall in his basement, and consists of three horizontal rows of eight boot holders. "When I come in from work, I wash my boots off and hang them there. The pieces of pvc pipe that you hang your boots on are 16 in. long," he says. "I used spare pipe, so it didn't cost me much, but you could probably make one for about $50, using new materials. If you were close to a furnace vent, this rack could be hooked up so you can push air through it. I really like mine and I built racks for my dad and brother, too."
