Fishing Rod Storage Rack DIY

Components required: 

You can use the following components to make the fishing rod storage rack. 

  1. Two numbers of 96 x 3 x 2 inches SPF studs.
  2. 48 numbers of 1.5-inch PVC j-hook pipe hangers. 
  3. 14 numbers of 4-inch screws. 

Tools required: 

  • Hammer
  • Fine sandpaper
  • Scissors
  • Measuring tape
  • Drill
  • Handsaw
  • Pencil
  • Ruler

Step 1: 

Before starting the making process of the rack, you need to ensure that you have all the tools and components with you. Now, mark on the 3-inch side of the stud at every 8 inches using the measuring tape. After that, you can draw lines on those markings using the ruler and pencil for proper visibility. 

Step 2: 

Now, you can take out the nails from all 48 j-hooks and keep them at another place. Then mark 3.5 inches from the top on every j-hook and cut them using the handsaw. 

Step 3: 

Once you complete cutting all the j-hooks, you can start attaching them to the stud. Bring one j-hook and place it at the left end of the stud. While placing the j-hook, you need to ensure that the left end of the stud and the left end of the j-hook are leveled, and the cut end of the j-hook and the top of the stud are leveled. Now, mark the holes of the j-hook on the studs and drill the holes. While drilling the holes, you need to make pilot holes using a small size drill bit to prevent the splitting of wood. After drilling, attach the j-hook with the stud. 

Step 4: 

Now, you can attach one by one j-hook every 8 inches that you marked in the first step. For the middle j-hooks, you no need to drill the pilot hole, as it doesn’t split in the middle. But you need to drill a pilot hole for the right end j-hook to prevent splitting. This way, you have finished making one side of the fishing rod storage rack. 

Step 5: 

To make another side of the fishing rod storage rack, you can follow the steps from 1 to 4. After completing the construction of the second side of the rack, you can attach it to your ceiling. 

Step 6: 

For installing the racks, you can drill holes through both the racks and attach them to the joists of your ceiling. Also, you can use some wood blocks in the installation process if required. While drilling through the racks, you need to ensure that you make the holes between the mounting nails of the hooks to prevent damaging the mounting nails. Also, you need to ensure that you can access the rack comfortably while installing. After installing the rack, you can place the fishing rods on it. 

Conclusion:
