In about 30 minutes I made a simple hanging rack of 1-1/2" PVC for about $10. It is essentially two large rectangles, one inside the other, that are hinged at the midpoint of the upright axis by bolts so they fold out to make a big "X". They have nylon ropes joining them across the top to keep them upright and taut and adds more places to hang light things.
Height, width, length all can be modified to suit the user. I can take them apart so they travel nicely. They hold a pretty good deal of weight since there are joints 1/2 way up the long axis to add stability plus all of the corner joints. We can easily hang 2 bp/wings, 2 drysuits, 2 sets of hoods, gloves, masks and undergarments. How wide you make it will determine how much stuff you can cram onto it.
Simple parts list:
20 ft PVC (1-1/2" or 2")
8 each PVC corners (1-1/2" or 2")
4 each PVC joints (1-1/2" or 2")
2 each bolts with wing nuts (4 or 4-1/2")
4 each eye bolts with nuts and locking washers (2" or 2-1/2") (optional)
10 ft nylon clothesline cord or 2 bungee cords
PVC cleaner/primer (optional)
PVC adhesive (optional but recommend making some joints permanent for stability and ease of set-up/tear-down)
Tools:
drill
saw
tapemeasure
marker pen
