PVC Pipe Towel Rack DIY Project OR Purchase

In need of a towel rack to dry and store pool towels. How about a DIY Towel Rack made of PVC pipes?

Earlier this week I shared my enthusiasm about the Ballard Designs Medallion Pool Valet (no longer sold.) DIY Towel RackI just loved the style of it but I was intimidated about the look of the towels and the possibility of moist towels with all the South Florida summer heat & humidity.

Today I was inspired to search for PVC piping ideas thanks to a conversation with the clever and exhausted mom, Alexis Prieto of The Exhausted Mom. I headed to Google and Pinterest searching for ways to create a towel holder using relatively inexpensive PVC piping.

DIY Towel Rack

Of course I found a PVC Towel Rack – because now I’m thinking you can do anything and everything with PVC pipes! This rack is VERY different than what I had seen on Ballard Designs. It’s functional. It’s a perfect spot to hang and dry the towel, store pool toys and more. But, would you leave the towels here as storage?

Making the PVC Towel Rack

So I mentioned it to Tom and he got all “Bob Vila” on me…talking in loads of construction language that lost me. At the end of the day, he thinks we can easily do it. He estimates the cost of the pipe to be around $60+. I thought that was a little high so I’ll need to do some research on my own!

  1. Rigid conduit (usually gray) is less expensive than PVC. It can use PVC couplers. Might be an option for you.

  2. Thanks for your article. It’s very unfortunate that over the last decade, the travel industry has had to fight terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu, swine flu, as well as first ever entire global downturn. Through all this the industry has really proven to be robust, resilient and also dynamic, finding new strategies to deal with hardship. There are constantly fresh challenges and the opportunity to which the field must once again adapt and react.
