DIY Dry rack from PVC piping

[thomhal]

Hi, I stumbled across some pictures online that showed how to make a dry rack out of some pvc pipes and a bed roller. I'm want to make a replica of this, but I'm unable to find a bed roller or container that has the same dimensions as the one on the photo. I'm guessing it's around 120 cm long and 50 cm wide?

I'd love to hear suggestions on how to solve this.
Acquiring pipes are no problem, it's merely figuring out how to collect the dripping water in a practical way. I'm open to suggestions!

Is this the right size?

So find a storage container that is available that would work for you and construct your rack to fit accordingly.

Looks good in theory. How important is catching the water for you? From my own experience putting tubs under my own rack, you're going to have things like the arms of suits etc, directing water outside the perimiter of the tub. Especially one as narrow as 50cm. I've seen ones where people make the rack fit inside a bathtub which seems a pretty decent idea to let them get at least 'drip dry' before moving elsewhere.

That's a sterilite under bed Bin. You'll find them at Walmart.

I got the under bed storage from Container Store.
Could you post the link to how to make the PVC pipe frame?

That's 3/4 PVC and a whole bunch of t fittings.

I was hoping for sizes and lengths.
I don’t have cutting tools so my plan is to ask my friendly Home Depot guys to cut the pipe to correct lengths. When the stay at home order lifts of course.

Your a couple weeks to late, I just gave away mine after I finished installing a second tub area.

Quick advice for 3/4 inch pvc (I just measured my shower and cut to fit) you will need to reinforce the uprights or they will bend with a bc and drysuit or wetsuit. I used 3/4 inch metal electric conduit sprayed silicone lubricant on it and pounded it in with a hammer.

I also believe home depot and lowes are considered essential and still open, but have only heard this 3rd party.
