DIY: PVC Rod Rack


I made a quick DIY project today since I had my rods and reels getting all mixed up and it started to irritate me. I made a very simple SUV/Hatchback Rod Rack that cost $4. I'm not lying!!! $4 to buy the parts at Home Depot.  Its a bit small since I guestimated but I can always make it a bit wider but for now it is working perfectly. 

This is the Final product.






    To begin with, I went to Home Depot and bought 3/4" PVC pipe cut to the specifications of your trunk. I also bought (2) T connections, (2) Elbow Joints, (4) End Caps. 

Put your pieces together which is pretty self explanatory.





 

     I had a really thin yoga mat laying around that I thought would be perfect for gripping the rod butts so they wouldn't roll around. So I got some strips and glued it to the top and zip tied a couple pieces that I cut out and stacked them about 3 tall so if the rod but rolled around there would be something to  keep it in place.

I assembled the pieces together and that extra piece laying on  the ground had (2) pieces of paracord tied to the end so that I can hang them off the Handles that are attached to the roof to hold the rod tips. An example of this is a couple pictures down.




The Final Piece. It is by no means pretty but it works perfectly and allows for all my crap to fit easily without worry. You can even hang other tools as I did. I zip tied a knife sheath to the side arm for easy access and just hung various tools off the top bar.
