This industrial pipe-shelf recipe calls for some basic hardware and relatively few tools (which is great if you’re not the handy-type with access to a fully stocked tool shed.

Pam’s supplies for pipe shelves:

  • 6 3/4″ Floor Flanges
  • 6 3/4″ Caps
  • 6 3/4″ x 8″ Nipples
  • 1 1/4″ x 8 – 3.18 cm Coarse Thread Drywall Screws
  • 1 Board cut to the length you need (in our case we used reclaimed lumber that was roughly 2″ wide x 6″ deep x 5′ long, cut in thirds – if you buy a new board from the hardware store, have them cut it to length for you)
  • Black Spray Paint (I used less than 1 can of Rustoleum’s Universal Hammered Paint & Primer In One in the black color)
  • Measuring Tape
  • Phillips head screwdriver, handheld or electric as you prefer
  • Pencil
  • Level
