2 Simple and Practical Projects You Can Do with PVC Pipes! 2026

2 Simple and Practical Projects You Can Make with PVC Pipes, since I have three small children (and I hope to have more) I was forced to grant the request. (Also, I really don't like the smell of cat pee...especially on my clothes.)

PVC Clothing Sorter

Anyway, this is a 5-tray PVC clothing sorter that is made with PVC pipe, fittings, snap clamps, a piece of fabric, some laundry bags, and of course some safety pins.

Note: I am a partner in a business that distributes these PVC accessories (so no one is surprised).

Here is a video where my family talks about that cat... It's funny:

Step 1: Plan

Step 2: Materials

I am assembling this clothing sorter with PVC parts. Here's a summary of what I used and where I got them from.

Note:

All tubes are 1/2″ size. PVC Structural Fittings: These fittings are made especially for construction (they do not carry fluid), although you could also use standard PVC fittings.

• 8 Three Way L Pipes – PVC20 – Three Way L (These will be for the corners)
• 5 T-connections – PVC25 (These will be for the middle supports and for the top of the lid).
• 11 Small Sided T-Connections – PVC10 (These hold the “bag supports” and are also used for the lid).
• 2 Elbows – PVC15 (These are the corners of the cover).
• 5 Laundry Bags
• 1 Piece of fabric to cover the top
• Safe pins to help bind the fabric.

Quick clamps:

Snap clamps are PVC clips used to fasten lid fabric and laundry bags.

• 12 – For the bag supports
• 12 – To hold the cover fabric

PVC pipe lengths: 

I keep the lengths simple. I made it three feet tall and 6 feet wide, so I only had two lengths to cut.

• 16 3-foot cuts (4 for bottom, 4 for top, 6 for uprights, 2 for top)
• 11 18″ Cuts (2 for the bottom, 6 for the top, 3 for the lid)

You will probably want to determine the size based on the size bags you plan to use.

Step 3: Assemble the frame

I started by assembling the base. I added the studs and then built the top frame. Notice how I put the PVC tee fittings on the pipe. I used 3 on one and 4 on the other, the extra on one side was a support for the middle of the lid.

The only really difficult part was the length of the lid piping. Because the hinges are offset, I had to trim one of the top pipes to fit the offset.

Once I got to that part in the project I simply measured it into place and trimmed off the excess with a saw. I did not glue any PVC pipe.

Step 4: Join the bags and the lid with the fabric

I fastened my bags with some plastic clipselastic These clips are great because they allow you to easily cut fabric on a PVC pipe. The bags can be removed and washed when they become smelly or need to be changed.

We used a fabric over the top, pulled tight, secured with clamps and then with some safety pins (so the excess fabric wouldn't flap).

Step 5: PVC Laundry Basket Completed!
