Wetsuit or BC Hanger on the Cheap

[cc.harley]

Hello All This is my first DIY Post. Messing around in the garage. Two kids getting Cer'td and 2 nephews a year behind. Gearing up gets costly even used. Any way, Cheapo vinyl utility /garage hooks about $1 ea anywhere and Kiln dried 2x4 8ft for $3 makes 4 or 5. Some table or hand saw work, sanding or routing and pre drill the hole for the hook then enjoy. Customise with paint, curves for straps, widths etc. I made a basic starter for these photos. Enjoy!

I like it! I made mine out of 1" PVC pipe and some pant can hangers from the box stores. Didn't like them as much as your
design, BC's had a tendency of slipping (even though I put 90 degree connectors on the ends). I'll try making a few.

I like the idea. I am a fan of clear poly for something like this. Paint can scrap, poly is tougher and uses the natural wood grain to hide wear and tear.

I love the Idea of clear poly. Now I'll spend more time looking through the lumber for really nice pieces tho!
