Transform your home office space with stylish and functional DIY industrial pipe shelving. This project is easy to complete and will give your office a contemporary edge. With just a few tools and materials, you can create shelves that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Follow these simple steps to build your own industrial pipe shelving.
Step 1: Gather Supplies
To build your own industrial pipe shelving, you'll need:
• Thick wooden boards (we recommend using oak or birch)
• Industrial pipes in various lengths
• Pipe fittings (elbows, tees, flanges)
• Screws
• Wall anchors
• Drill
• Saw
• Measuring tape
• Sandpaper
Step 2: Cut Wooden Boards
Use a saw to cut your wooden boards to the desired length and width. Sand the boards smooth on all sides and edges.
Step 3: Prepare Pipes
Measure and cut your industrial pipes to the desired length using a pipe cutter. Clean the pipes with a rag to remove any grease or dirt.
Step 4: Assemble Shelving
Attach flanges to the wooden boards using screws. Connect pipes with elbows and tees to create the frame of each shelf. Overlap the pipes and boards, and screw the pipes into the flange. Repeat this process until you have your desired number of shelves.
Step 5: Install Shelving
Use wall anchors to attach the shelving to the wall. Place the shelving where desired and use a level to ensure everything is straight. Screw the pipes into the wall anchors to secure them in place.
