I would have never of thought, I myself would ever choose a golden oak stain for a project! After trying and trying and trying, I finally found the stain that worked best! Surprisingly, Minwax Golden Oak was it. Well, during that project, the amount of stains I tried to get color I was looking for was unbelievable. As I mentioned earlier, I used our fence picket from a previous project with the same stain color. If you decided to buy the Fence Picket – The Western Red Cedar – you’ll notice the wood has a red hue to it. – tip – If you decided to use a fence picket, you’ll want to cut off the end with the dog ear edge. Since I used a 3′ pipe, I ended up cutting down the wood backing to 46.75”. I added 4.75” on both the left and right sides (measured from the middle of the pipe/flange). Your wood backing should be a little bit longer than your pipe length. The rough textured look was just what I was looking for! I had some extra wood fence pickets left over from another project and decided to use it for this project. Make sure to lay down some cardboard / plastic, so you don’t get overspray everywhere. If you can – you’ll want to spray paint outside or in a well ventilated area (garage?). The best part is that it’s a paint and primer combo! If you do want the dark pipe look, I used Rust-Oleum Oil Rubbed Bronze Metallic Spray Paint. This spray paint is pretty much what I use on all our projects – LOL. If you decided to go with the galvanized metal look, than you can skip this step 🙂 Just gotta be careful and do your best when spray painting. I didn’t worry too much about this, since its facing the wall, you won’t be able to see it. The only part that will be tough to spray then, is the backside of the main pipe. To make things easier while spray painting, assemble all the pieces together first. Long Screws (to fit the pipe flanges and long enough to go into wall).Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint (optional).Plus, you don’t get that rough finish look with a 1×6) (1) 6ft Fence Picket – 6″ wide (you can use a 1×6 as well, but it’s a bit little thicker than the fence picket.This pipe is not available on their online store.) (If you have a Menard’s located near you, go there for the piping since its cheaper. (1) 1″ x 3′ Threaded Galvanized Pipe – this could be a longer piece too.(2) 1″ x 6″ Galvanized Pipe Nipple – could be longer as mentioned above.This post may contain affiliate links where we earn a small commission on your purchases at no additional cost to you.
So, if you have room and you’d like to have the hangers hang straight on the rack, than I suggest using 8” length pipe. The standard plastic clothing hangers almost hang straight out. Our laundry room is pretty tight, so I didn’t want the rack to extend too far out. This could be longer, depending on how large your space is. The pipe used for the depth of the rack was 6” long. This DIY pipe clothing rack was made using a 3ft long, 1” pipe. Using this industrial piping makes it so much sturdier too! Especially since the cheap, store-bought ones end up being very wobbly. The total cost was about $30 – without the spray paint or stain (we had some leftover). The hardest part is hanging and grabbing all the pipes at the store… you might need 2 extra hands to help for both! The project itself was very simple to put together. Taking a look back at the project, I’m so happy we incorporated this! I love that it’s a floating rack and it aesthetically looks 10x’s better than any other clothing rack you can buy at the store. I knew even before we put our list of “things to have” together for the new laundry room, this was one of the top things I wanted to incorporate. I felt like it was always in the way, took up too much room and it had a slight lean to it. Ya know… I like my shirts to fit 😉 Before we re-did our laundry room, I had one of those cheap plastic rolling cart thingys that you could hang clothes to dry… I hated it. I’m one of those people who likes to hang-dry most of my clothes, rather than drying them in the dryer.
