{idea notebook+shelving} DIY Pipe & Flange Shelving Unit


This is a great go-to shelving solution we used frequently at Anthropologie to outfit our Home vignettes . It has a great industrial feel and can be custom designed to fit any space you desire. The project itself requires a bit of math and more elbow grease than anything else. Love it!

Supply list:
Plumbing Pipe: Can be custom cut to size by local DIY/hardware store

Fittings: 90ยบ Elbows, 3-Way Tees & Base Flanges (all at 1/2″)

Wood Shelves: Can be custom cut to size by local DIY/hardware store

Wood Stain or Paint

Rustoleum Gloss Spray Paint: to prep the pipes and fittings

Tools:
Drill, 3/4” Hole saw, Medium grit sandpaper (#120), Dish soap (to de-grease the pipes, etc.)

How To:

1. Sketch desired fixture and calculate desired length of shelving, etc.

2. Drill holes in wood planks for the pipe to fit through. (recommended: 3/4″ round drill bit)

3. Clean pipes and fittings. Treat with Rustoleum.

4. Sand and stain/paint wood

5. Assemble by screwing everything together & secure to wall with screws through the flanges for stability.
