Things You'll Need:
- 1 piece of 10 feet by 1 inch by 4 inch wood plank
- 1 10-foot long PVC pipe, 1.5 inch in diameter
- 26 pieces of ¾ inch self tapping screws
- 4 pieces of 2-inch self tapping screws
- Drill
- Screw driving bit
- Hole drilling bit
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Saw
- Sandpaper
-
Step 1
Measure 70 inches on the wood plank and mark with a pencil. Saw the wood at the 70-inch mark and set the excess wood aside.
-
Step 2
Mark one side of the wood plank every 10 inches starting from one end. Turn the plank on the other side and start marking from one end, first by 5 inches and then every 10 inches. This will give 5 inches of space in between each fishing rod, on alternating sides, when the project is done.
-
Step 3
Get the excess wood plank and cut 2 pieces 8-inches each, which will be used for the fishing rod rack's feet. Screw the wider side of the feet to one end of the 70-inch wood plank using the 2-inch self tapping screws. Lower the feet about half an inch to raise the rack off the ground and add to its stability. Repeat with the other piece of 8-inch wood.
-
Step 4
Grab your PVC pipe. Measure and mark every 9 inches and saw off each section. You can sandpaper the ends of each tube to smooth out the sharp edges.
-
Step 5
Measure an inch from the bottom end of the PVC pipes and mark with a pencil. Then measure about 2 inches from the first mark. Drill a pilot hole in your PVC pipe sections on the places where you marked. This hole is your screw driver access.
-
Step 6
Attach the PVC pipes right on the markings on your wooden rack using a drill with the screw driving bit and the ¾ inch self tapping screws.
