Fair Priced Pipe Racks

[smittyd]

I am looking for another pipe rack with at least 6 spaces. i have looked on ebay and in my opinion most of what they have listed is way over priced. I am looking for any suggestions on were to look. Thanks for any help given.

I have one of these and for the price it’s not too bad. When in stock I think they are around $25.

I got both of my racks, in good shape and dirt cheap, at local Goodwill stores.

Here's one that holds six pipes--not too bad in terms of price: Amazon

Etsy has a lot of racks. I like the vintage "Fairfax" racks in the six-pipe size. They are around $25 shipped.

I cut the O-shape holes into U-shapes, to better hold modern, bent pipes.

I think PC has a sale on pipe racks going right now, May 2018. A spare parking place away from your usual racks and cabinets, at the other end of the house, or whatever, is usually a good idea for safe stowing of pipes away from their usual home.

95% of my piperaks have been assembled in China and were bought either on Ebay and AliExpress.In my opinion these China makes offer Pretty good value but model range is very limited.

Fair priced. Now there is a mud puddle. Pipe racks, decent ones anyway, tend to be pricey. Like all things, the consumer wants good and cheap. In almost all cases those are mutually exclusive. I have seen a few mass produced ones from overseas that are so so, but as has been said, your options are very limited. Along with custom furniture and doors, I make pipe racks, and have made several for fellow members. They are labor intensive, and if using quality material, they will never be cheap cost wise, but the price will be "fair" for the labor and cost to make. (Actually for many fellow pipers, I wind up working at or below min wage to keep cost low.) It's hit and miss but many times you may stumble on one at an antique store, goodwill, garage sales, flea market, and estate sales. Another option I have seen work well is purchase a low cost cabinet or rack, not pipe related, and modify it. Good luck and share your success.

This looks like a good deal.

Thanks for the help gents. But i have decided that i am entirely to picky so i am going to just make my own so i can get exactly what i want.

I glommed a couple of good ones on fleabay the other day - a used 12-spot like another I have, & another that's actually two, since it's a pair of 6-hole bookends. Should keep me a few more weeks.... :twisted:

If you have the workshop and tools, or enough handcraft skills to do it with minimal tools, that's a good way to go. You get exactly what you want and bragging rights.

I picked one up years ago, I assume made in China.
