PVC Clamp Rack

As my collection of pipe clamps continues to grow, efficient storage has become a real problem. I have accumulated clamps of several different lengths and sizes and needed to come up with a simple one-size-fits-all system to keep them organized. My eventual solution is shown in the drawing at right — clamp racks with PVC sleeves. The rack uses two different diameters of pipe for my 1/2" and 3/4" clamps. After drilling holes in the rails, the pipe is glued in place. The rack holds any length of clamp securely while providing easy access.

Have a nice weekend,
