galvanized pipe projects

At an auction this weekend I bought a PILE of metal for $150.
I bought it for the allthread, WELL OVER $150 worth... which I have a use for.

There's also an I beam frame that if I don't turn it into a shed floor I can probably sell for the cost of the pile. (I noticed it on the bottom of the pile, I don't think anyone else did.)

Unfortunately the square tubing (and some of the allthread) was stolen before I could load it. (And by I I mean I drove the truck and my partner does the heavy lifting.)

And I'm left with hundreds and hundreds of feet of pipe.
A little stainless, a few pieces of (rusted) black iron pipe, and hindreds, and hundreds of feet of galvanized.
Lots of it standard 1 inch stuff, but more than a little several inches.

I'm going to build: Pipe and lumber racks with a good chunk of the large stuff.

Some of them have flanges, and enough big stuff for a gazebo.. ..
I'll concrete a couple in so I can put up my hammock.

And some of the 1 inch stuff will go to projects like:
-hand rails
-legs/frame for the SS butcher table I'll have done (got some SS CHEAP... with the intent of having parkerizing tanks made... will be enough there for a table too I think.)
-a pot rack
-shelving
-a couple firewood racks

...what else? (Both the 1" and larger) keep in mind I will have to buy most of the connectors. Some have connectors on them, but straight only.... no elbows.

My original thought was to cut them up into fencing/stakes... but that seems wasteful.

Whatcha got?

Let's block ads! (Why?)
