Space-Saving PVC Collapsible Towel Stand

Ever wished for a towel rack that’s lightweight, easy to move, and doesn’t take up much space when not in use? In this project, we’ll be making a PVC Collapsible Towel Rack—a simple yet practical solution that you can fold and store away whenever needed. Using basic materials like PVC pipes, elbow fittings, and a few simple tools, we’ll build a sturdy frame that opens up to hold multiple towels and collapses flat when not in use. Step by step, you’ll see how each part comes together to form a handy rack that’s both functional and space-saving.

1. .5 inch to 1 inch PVC pipe
2. 4 L-joints
3. 1 T- joint
4. 2 PVC Wall Clamps for mounting
5. 2 PVC C-Clamp for holding
6. 1 X 1' end-cap
7. Marker & measuring tape or ruler
8. Pipe cutter
9. Drill and drill bits
10. Sandpaper (120–240 grit)

1. Arrange 1 inch PVC pipe on your work surface.
2. Measure 3 X 2' pipes, 1 X 1'10" pipe and 2 X 10" pipes.
3. Cut all the pipes neatly with a PVC cutter or hacksaw, keeping the cuts straight.
4. Mark the drilling points at 3" apart on 1'10" & 10" pipes for the ropes.
5. Drill holes at the marked points carefully.
6. Set aside the prepared pipes for the next step of assembly.

1. Insert pipe in elbow, mark the insertion point for uniform joints.
2. Lightly sand pipe ends for a smooth fit.
3. Push pipe into elbow till the mark;
4. Connect the T-joint with 2 small pipes on each side of the 'T'.
5. Connect a 2 feet PVC on the T-joint, this will act as stand. Insert an end-cap to its end.
6. Complete the square frame with 4 L-joints on 4 corners.
7. Wrap the rope through the pipe-holes and tie.
8. Check that the rope wrap does not extend into the elbow socket.
9. This make the towel rack ready and steady.

1. We make a hole in the wall with a drill machine.
2. Then insert 1 inch pvc clamp to hold the collapsible frame.
3. Place the frame carefully.
4. Ensure the frame moves freely inside the clamp.
5. Fix 2 x C-clamps up on the wall to hold the rack when its not in use.

And there you have it—a PVC Collapsible Towel Rack built entirely from scratch! With neatly assembled joints and a foldable design, it’s light, portable, and perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
