With the arrival of cold weather, the question of drying clothes always arises. Things can hang outside for a long time and remain wet due to low temperatures and dampness. In this case, stationary dryers come to the rescue. But there is not always a place to place it, there is simply not enough space. Especially in small apartments. Today there is big choice portable dryers that are sold in every grocery store. It's easy to make a compact dryer yourself, all you need is a little patience and some tools. This article will tell you how to make a clothes dryer with your own hands from different materials.

It is most convenient to make a dryer from plastic pipes. This is a fairly strong and stable material, the parts are very convenient to connect together without the help of various tools. If you do not fasten the joints with adhesives, you can assemble and disassemble the product whenever possible, which is very convenient during transportation.

Features of working with the material

First of all, you need to have a sketch and exact dimensions of each part, otherwise the result may not please you. Having measured all the required dimensions with a tape measure, you need to make marks and use a pipe cutter to cut the pipe.

Let's start making our dryer from polypropylene pipes.

The dryer will be in a vertical position, somewhat reminiscent of an easel.

For work we need to prepare the following materials:

  • pipes of different lengths;
  • connecting corners;
  • tees;
  • clamps.

The dryer is formed from two parts. The result is rectangles, as you can see in the previous photo. We make one of the parts a little larger, about 10 centimeters. You can add or subtract the number of sections.

First of all, we cut the pipes to the sizes you need. And we connect all the elements according to the sketch using tees and adapters. Thus, we connect a large rectangle with the crossbar.

And add internal crossbars. Our dryer is ready! The most difficult process is cutting pipes if there is no special device available. And it’s all very simple, like folding a construction set.

This product will serve you for many years; its advantage is that it is not sensitive to humidity and does not develop corrosion stains. Convenient to store on the balcony and even outside.

You can make a dryer like this, just install it on a radiator. IN heating season things will dry much faster. A lot of things won’t fit there, of course, but it’s very convenient when there are small children in the house and things need to be washed very often.



The dryer installed on the radiator does not take up much space, which is very convenient in small rooms.

And such a wooden structure is practically invisible and can be easily removed. Manufactured according to the dimensions of the radiator.

You don't need a lot of material for the job. Two small boards and several pipes, you can also use plastic ones.

We make markings for the pipes and drill holes, but not all the way. They don't have to be cross-cutting.

Do not be upset if you made a mistake in the calculations when planning the life support systems of your home, for example, when arranging water supply or heating. Remains of pipes (even the smallest scraps) and fittings that were not used when installing pipelines can become the basis for some unusual interior item. In this article we will talk about some interesting solutions and share interesting ideas.

The technology is like this:

  • First, we build the frame of a garden gallery from plastic pipes of medium or large diameter.
  • Now let's make the beds. We take large-diameter polypropylene pipes and, placing them horizontally, cut off the top to a width less than the radius of the pipe. We drill drainage holes at the bottom.
