How to Build a Free Standing Pot And Pan Rack

Pots and pans take up a lot of cabinet space, and finding the one pan you need can involve removing several around it. A free-standing rack removes clutter and eliminates constant rearranging. A rack also showcases nice cookware and makes it more accessible. A rack can be made from many types of pipe, such as PVC, galvanized steel or copper.

Four "T "connectors
Two elbow connectors
Four 1/2-foot galvanized pipes
Two 2-foot galvanized pipes
Four 3-foot galvanized pipes

Instructions

- 1
  Screw a 1-1/2 foot galvanized pipe section into both ends of a copper four-way connection. This is the base of the stand.
- 2
  Screw a 3-foot galvanized pipe into the top section of both T connectors.
- 3
  Attach a second T connector to the other end of the 3-foot pipes. Attach it so that one of the open ends points in the same direction as the pipe and the other end points in a perpendicular direction.
- 4
  Stand up both pipe sections that you have been building. Make sure the T connectors on top of the two-foot pipes have perpendicular open ends that face each other. Screw a 2-foot pipe into both T connectors. This will connect the two sides of the pipe rack together.
- 5
  Add a second 3-foot section to the top open end of the T connectors to increase the height of the rack.
- 6
  Attach elbow connectors to the top of the second 3-foot pipes. Have the elbow on the two pipes face each other.
- 7
  Screw a 2-foot pipe to both elbows. The end result should be a free standing pot and pan rack. It has two pipes that are horizontal to the floor, one that is 3 feet high and another 6 feet high.
