    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    Yes, my rack is also mostly short sections. I glued it all and it seems to be stable enough. I have built mine for 1 setup, perhaps I will have to build a new one if I buy a wetsuit as well, hehe.. Nice, I have seen both your and the original design before while researching and got some ideas...

    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    My suit has an integrated boot and is neoprene. I have decided to not hanging it with pipes in the legs, it would be ideal for drying, but it would have been a hassle everytime I had to get the suit up there. Hanging it upside down from a regular hanger seems to work. What I could do was extend...

    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    Wow, nice compact design and really easy to dissassemble and store! I have ordered some pvc parts, but will consider some changes based on your rack =) I liked the way you placed the rack "inside" the plastic container (with wheels?) as a dripping tray. Thanks for the feedback, I will post...

    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    I have decided to just hang the suit upside down from a hanger. Pipes up in the legs seems like a hassle (hanging the suit in a confined space etc), so I have decided on something like this: I am a bit unsure about the horizontal support pipes between the BCD and suit rack parts, as they...

    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    Ah, I'll check that out. Good point about the diameter of the pipes, I'll keep that in mind. I am considering dropping the drying part (pumping air through the pipes), it seems to be enough to just let the suit hang upside down for a while. That way I can construct an easier rack.

    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    I do not have a tub =( But I guess I could fill the case i carry it all in with water. Connecting a hose to the rack might not be necessary as hosing/soaking all the gear isn't a big job. The main reason I need to drill holes in the tubes is to dry the inside of my drysuit in case it gets wet...

    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    Ok, thank you. I will make up my mind design wise and buy the materials. I will definately put wheels on it. I'll post pictures when the project is done.

    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    Very good idea, I have to store it in a room on the second floor, but there is a small balcony just above the terrace where the hose is. I could rinse it up there, then roll it inside. I've heard of someone who hooked the rack up to a hose as you mention, but I am unsure of how I should achieve...

    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    Hi! I just moved into a new house and don't really have a lot of space to store my gear in. I need to build a pvc rack that can fit inside a 55"x40" area. I want to be able to hang almost all of my gear on the rack, except the smaller things like lead weights, knife etc. The drysuit will hang...
