Black iron pipe book shelf3/18/2024 On my drawing, starting with the bottom of the shelving unit, I drew in the flanges and the number 2 for 2″. The wood shelving thickness does not come into play because it doesn’t add to the height of the unit. I estimated my fittings (the flanges, tees and elbows to be 2 inches – they’re actually smaller but it gave me wiggle room in my design so I knew my shelving would not be higher than 107″ and coming in a few inches lower is ideal). Adding the measurements visually helps with adding up the numbers. My (vertical) measurements are rough but I knew that I had a 107 inch cap (the height from floor to ceiling) and could not go higher. Each shelf rests on a three tees in the front and three elbows in the back. It’s simply locked into place by the front pipe pieces through the holes in the shelf. So each wood shelf is not anchored or screwed down in any way. On the back, each wood shelf rests on an up-turned elbow. ![]() Each shelf front is supported by resting on top of a tee in the front, threaded through a hole in the shelf with the vertical pipe. (Labeled on the left in the photo above as an example.)Įach wood shelf has three holes on the outer front edge (one on the left, one in the center, one in the right). DIY even had plans to add brackets for extra strength, however when installation was complete, even he was surprised by the how sturdy it is.Įach of the three built up/connected vertical pipe supports are individual and not connected to each other in any way. You could also screw it into the floor but we did not. I didn’t notice until assembling that my pipe cutting order was missing a piece so there should actually be another wall flange/pipe in the center top (and will be once I have more pipe cut). Mine is only attached at the wall near the ceiling. The pipe shelving frame is only connected horizontally by the wood shelving. Not enough support and the wood shelves may sag with weight over time. Understanding the construction: For 6 foot wide shelving, I wanted three supports for each shelf. Keep in mind that stock pipe comes in 12″, 18″ and 24″ pieces…any other size pipe will need to be custom cut/threaded (done by a Lowe’s associate). I just drew the shelving (not to scale) on a piece of paper and labelled the measurements. ![]() Start with measuring the space where the shelving will go. I’m no architect or artist, so my sketch is rough without fancy drafting software but it gets the job done and I was able to see where I needed to make adjustments. ![]() The finished product has an organic flow and singular character that can’t be replicated.Getting started: The most difficult step (and not really that difficult when sketching a visual to help ‘build’ the correct size) will be your measurements and design.
