Project Overview
- Working Time: 2 hours
The problem with many store-bought broom and brush racks is that they are not strong enough to hold big, heavy shop brooms.
Farmer Roger Schrepel of Madison, South Dakota, made his own broom rack fit for a farm shop from PVC pipe.
He made use of some leftover 2-inch diameter PVC pipe to create his rack.

- Use 2-inch diameter piping and matching elbows, tees, and couplers to create the rack.
- Glue the three tees at the center of the rack together with 2-inch long lengths of pipe.
- Use upright pipes that are 24 inches tall.
- Join together the tees and elbows for the perimeter of the rack with 8-inch long pipe.
- When joining and glueing the tees for the upright pipes, make sure they are at a 90° angle.
