Build Your Own Chicken Feeder
Got leftover PVC pipes? Turn them into a no-fuss chicken feeder! Just cut a pipe to your desired height, pop on an elbow joint at the bottom, and mount it upright to your coop wall. Cap the top to keep feed dry, and fill it with pellets.
Your hens will love the easy access- and you’ll love not refilling bowls every day. It’s budget-friendly, mess-free, and cluckin’ clever.
Create Your Own Table
There are so many different occasions that require an extra table. A house party, an event, a garage sale. And you do not always want to have to buy a table for just one event. What’s the simplest solution? Grab some wood planks and some PVC pipes that you have lying around the garage and you can make a whole new table quickly that will hold up well and come in very handy.
Although it may not be the most beautiful table you have ever seen, it will at least be functional and get you through the event. And you can always cover it with a nice tablecloth!
The Simplest Way to Clean Your Gutters
Cleaning out the gutters is perhaps one of the most arduous and unpleasant housework jobs out there. It involves so many tools and so much effort. Alas, it is very much necessary and cannot be avoided for too long, especially if you live in a rainy place. If you want to avoid the extra hassle, you can use PVC pipes to create a ladder-free gutter cleaner that will be a lifesaver.
You’ll never have to worry about grabbing that ladder and trudging through the gutters again. Just build the pipe to your desired length so that you can reach the gutters from the ground and you are good to go!
Decorations for Your Fish Bowl
Not everyone has a dog or a cat and wants to make fancy things for them from PVC pipes. But, if you’re the owner of a different pet, like a fish, there are plenty of fun things to do with PVC pipes also for you. Why leave the fish tank boring and dull when you could liven things up by adding decorational PVC pipes that the fish can swim in and out of?
This is great because it is both cute and functional. It gives your fish something fun to do while swimming around in the tank and also makes it look prettier!
The Perfect Heavy Object Transporter
No one likes to have to transport a heavy object across their house or their yard and some people are actually not capable. Whether the piece simply weighs too much or you would just like to save some effort, PVC pipes are a great support. Take inspiration from the ancients by placing a row of PVC pipes on the ground and rolling your object across the top of them until you reach your destination.
After all, there is a theory that this is how the ancient Egyptians moved the stones to build the pyramids, so why wouldn’t it work for you as well?
The Tool Holder for Small Tools
If you can use PVC pipes to create the perfect organizational tool for drills and big tools, why not use it for some of the smaller tools as well? Not everyone has the perfect little kit to store all of their screwdrivers, wrenches, and other small tools. That’s where PVC pipes can come in handy. Purchase a few small and thin pipes, between 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch, cut them to the desired size and you are good to go!
This also allows you to clearly see all of your different tools in one glance instead of having to rummage through a messy toolbox to find what you are looking for.
The Perfect Plastic Bag Dispenser
Who doesn’t have an excessive amount of plastic bags lying around the house? They usually get shoved into another bigger bag that holds them all, but it can be quite a mess. Luckily, there is a simple solution! Create your own plastic bag dispenser from PVC pipes. You can hang it in your kitchen or wherever you would use the bags the most often. You’ll be surprised how it will change your life.
All you have to do is insert the plastic bags into the top of the pipe and the pressure and gravity will push them to the bottom. Take a bag from the opening in the bottom whenever you need and never worry about the mess again.
The Convenient Hammer Holster for Your Tool Belt
Any true lover of DIY projects knows that the hammer is perhaps the most important tool of all. They also know that it is perhaps the most inconvenient tool to have to carry around all the time. It doesn’t fit in a pocket and it takes up a lot of space when trying to hold it. Enter the PVC hammer holster for your tool belt. Never have to worry about where to store that hammer again!
All you have to do to create this is slice two slits in the plastic pipe so that you can thread it through your belt…and voila! You are ready for any DIY project that might come your way.
The Perfect Drawer Organizers
Everyone has one (or two..or three) drawers in their house that could do with a little bit of organization. Whether it is just a junk drawer that has been neglected or a utensil drawer that just needs a little support, PVC pipes are there for you. Cut each pipe in half and make it to your desired length. That’s all you have to do to divide all of your different miscellaneous items in one place.
This could be very useful for utensils drawers. The dividers are perfect to keep the spoons and forks and knives separate. After all, no one wants to be injured going to grab a spoon and being sliced by a knife instead.
Use a Pipe to Create a Rack for Pipe Clamps
Many people are ready for any type of home fix-it situation that may arise. And as a result, they have a few different pipe clamps hanging around the house or garage. The problem is that it can get pretty difficult to organize them and keep them easily accessible. Luckily, there is a pretty simple solution. You can use a pipe (PVC obviously) to create little hangers for the pipe clamps.
Now you never have to worry about finding your pipe clamps when you are in a jam. They will always be organized and in the same place every time you search for them.
Replace a Broken Shovel Handle
Who doesn’t love a good shovel? They are the essential tool for gardening and you would probably be lost in the garden without one. Sometimes though, they can be overloved and it shows…in the form of broken pieces. The handle is often the first to go as the most pressure is applied there. But before throwing away your favorite shovel, PVC pipes can help you repair it in a jiffy!
Take the tee of a PVC pipe and attach it where the handle used to be, replacing it entirely. It is comfortable, cheap, and has a great grip.
Cover up That Table Saw
Table saws can be a pretty terrifying thing. Saws of any kind (and all blades for that matter) are always a safety risk. They are dangerous for both adults and children and it is always recommended to keep open blades covered when they are not in use. PVC pipes can be very useful in creating a custom cover for a table saw blade to make sure that no one runs the risk of slicing themselves.
You do need a few different pieces for this DIY project, but it will prove very useful and helpful in the long run and very much worth the extra effort.
Grease Gun Holster
Many people love their around-the-house projects, DIY, and building various things. But one thing no one likes is grease. Grease stains are just about everything and it is nearly impossible to ever get the stains out. Grease guns in particular can be quite the messy thing. What’s a simple solution to using your grease gun and not making a complete disaster of it? A PVC pipe holster made specifically for this.
You can make specific compartments for each part of the grease gun so that there are no leaks on your clothes, on your tools, or on your workspace.
Oversized Storage Cylinders
Everyone has a few items around the house that are difficult to store. Usually, they are too long, making it nearly impossible to keep them anywhere convenient. Plugs, adapters, large papers, and blueprints just to name a few. But there is no need to worry anymore, PVC pipes are the perfect solution. They are long and easy to seal to keep those random, oversized items stored safely and conveniently.
Consider decorating these storage cylinders to make them a bit more visually appealing. Add some colors or paper to the outside and you can even make it look like a decorational piece as well as a functional organizational one.
