What can be done

In short, we can say - everything. And this will not be an exaggeration, indeed, shelves on the wall, as well as floor structures, are made from this building material. Folding chairs and stools, comfortable chairs, tables, high-grade racks are made of them.

From the pipes — You can make decor from pipes.

In addition, you can easily make a holder for anything and any configuration from PVC pipes. The main advantage of such material is that it is simple and fun to work with, and no special education or professional skills are required.

This is a kind of constructor for adults. And hand-made furniture made of water pipes will be a worthy addition to any design solution. Many stylistic directions can be appropriately complemented by such interior items.

Shelves for shoes

Without exaggeration, everyone can create this element of the interior. The design can have one shelf, or it can be multi-tiered. Each shelf consists of two parallel pipes spaced a short distance from each other (about 15-20 centimeters).

Shelf for shoes — It is not difficult to make a shelf for shoes from water pipes.

The shelves are attached either directly to the wall or to the base. By the way, the base can be made from pipes, wood, plastic or any other material. What is convenient for you in your work will do.

There is a tremendous — There are a huge number of combinations and things that can be done this way.

A modification of the previous model is the shoe storage system, in which the shelves are wooden planks attached to a base from a system of plastic pipes. For such a design, you will need a full set of plumber: pipes, adapters, fittings, as well as keys and other equipment. The main advantage of this particular design is its compactness and spaciousness. It can easily fit in a typical apartment, in a modest hallway, and in a country house, for example, under the stairs.

Plastic pipes — Pipes made of plastic, as a material for the manufacture of furniture, are good for their availability and low cost.

An important point: do not think that if the shelf is made from such a simple consumable, then you can do without a diagram or drawing. In general, ideally, such shelves are made for a specific place. The length and width of the shelves, the distance between the tiers are carefully calculated, and options for fastening are also considered.

By the way, the shelves can be made from both PVC pipes and metal pipes. If desired, the metal structure can then be painted with a special paint, or you can leave it as it is. For a high-tech or loft style, there is no better interior solution.

Use quality materials to create your furniture.

Office table

It sounds unlikely, but in fact, an office table can be made from plastic pipes.And this is a great opportunity to save money, because a table, even the simplest modification in a furniture showroom, is not cheap. Creating a table will require certain skills and imagination from you.

A large and beautiful table with legs made of metal pipes.

First of all, decide on the size. In principle, you can make a frame for an existing standard table top. Let's take the average parameters of 915x2030 mm. When deciding on the material for the countertop, remember that the less its weight, the better it will be for the whole structure.

Wood table top — A wooden table top and iron legs are ideal.

Someone prefers to use a hollow door leaf as a countertop, for others the ideal option would be to independently collect the countertop from existing boards, using fasteners, a saw and a drill. For implementation, you need 12 meters of plastic pipe. It needs to be cut into pieces of the following sizes:

5 pieces of 7.5 cm;
10 pieces of 30 cm each;
4 pieces of 50 cm;
4 pieces of 75 cm.

PVC pipe legs cannot withstand heavy loads.

Also, for the implementation of an interesting project called "office table made of PVC pipes" you will need the following materials:

T-shaped fittings - 4 pcs;
Four-way fittings - 4 pcs;
Cross fittings - 2 pcs;
Plugs for fittings and pipes - 10 pcs.

Having prepared all of the above parts, you can start assembling. It turns out no more difficult than a child's play in the construction set. After collecting everything and making sure that the design matches your plan, all attachment points should be glued.

The table can be made small and under your own growth.

It is best to assemble the table in the following order:

Start collecting the sides of the base that the countertop will rest against.
Now assemble the back side, which will connect the two already assembled sidewalls.
An important point: to make the structure more stable, make an additional third leg on the back side.
Be sure to keep track of the parallelism of the elements in order to "correct" the structure in time.
After the frame is completely assembled, once again check the parallelism of all components, and try to test the strength of the structure, for example, by leaning on it.
Attach the countertop to the frame.

Speaking about the last point, it is worth noting that you can attach the countertop in different ways. Let's discuss the most practical and simplest option.

Table making — Making a table from pipes is not difficult, but it requires care.

Start by placing your countertop face down on the floor.

Place the frame on top so that the plugs at the top fit snugly against the worktop.

assembling furniture — Follow the instructions when assembling the furniture.

Carefully mark the location of the plugs (circle with a pencil). Detach the end caps from the frame and screw them onto the tabletop.

Take the initiative when creating furniture.

Finally, place the frame on the floor, and on top, position the countertop so that all the plugs fall into place. And now, the new office desk is ready for use.

From plastic pipes — Plastic pipes can be used to make a toy for children.

Plastic pipes are also used to create roomy racks, very practical clothes hangers and clothes dryers.

Obviously, the scope of PVC pipes is not limited to repair work in the plumbing sector. If you are not alien to experimentation, you are not afraid to embody bold and unusual projects into reality - try to create interior items from pipes.
