Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 183

Kayak Mover
If you have kayaks you know the struggle. Materials Needed
They are heavy and awkward which ● 90 Degree Connectors
makes them rather annoying to move ● T Connectors
around. With this simple cart you can ● Pool Noodles
strap the kayak to the top and roll it to the ● Wheels
launch site. One tip is to add pool noodles ● ¾” EMT Conduit
or plumbers insulation to the conduit to

Vehicle Racks
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 198

Van Roof Rack


This build is rather unique and has some Materials Needed
cool features. The Rack is designed to hold ● T Connectors

Soft Top Frame


This Jeep needed a soft top frame, but Materials Needed
they are hard to find for Jeeps in this year ● T Connectors
range. He built his own using only a few ● 180 Degree Connectors
Connectors. The conduit verticals ● ¾” EMT Conduit
happened to fit into the pre drilled holes

Double Decker Kayak Rack


@WAFamilyMan on YouTube and Materials Needed
Instagram built this double decker kayak ● T Connectors
cart so he could haul 4 kayaks safely and ● ¾” EMT Conduit
easily when his family wanted to head out
to the water. This frame is really simple
but keeps the yaks solidly in place so they
aren’t bouncing around during transport.
Check out his video on the build here.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 203

Conduit Carrier
EMT Conduit comes in lengths of 5 feet or 10.
If you get 10 foot sticks you can save a little Materials Needed
money, but if you don’t have a bed or some sort ● T Connectors
of vehicle with a long enough cargo area it can ● ¾” EMT Conduit
be tough to get conduit home. The builder of
this rack used conduit and Maker Pipe to build
a support frame that fits around the center
console so they can get 10 foot sticks home.
You gotta love the creativity!
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 204

Aluma Trailer Rack


Aluma trailers are pretty much a blank Materials Needed
canvas for those needing a custom ● T Connectors
transporting solution. The builder of this ● 45 Degree Connectors

cargo area.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 207

Roof Basket & Ladder


Classic Land Cruisers are gaining Materials Needed
popularity and rightfully so, but with most ● T Connectors
adventure vehicles the roof basket ● Roof Brackets
options are really expensive. This builder ● ¾” EMT Conduit
made one alot cheaper with Maker Pipe.
He mounted the basket and ladder using a
bracket that attaches to the rain channel
that runs along the Cruiser.

Elevated Kayak Bed Rack


Just like the Polaris Ranger this builder Materials Needed
wanted a way to retain cargo space in the ● T Connectors
bed while still being able to carry his ● 45 Degree Connectors

and allows for the rest of their camping
gear to ride underneath.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 209

ATV Bed Railing


The builder of this rack needed extra real Materials Needed
estate to maximize his firewood runs. He ● T Connectors
used Maker Pipe and conduit to add on to ● 45 Degree Connectors

Tree Sap Guard


The city wouldn’t let the builder of this
removable roof canopy add a carport to his Materials Needed
property. He had to figure out a way to protect ● T Connectors
his vehicle from tree sap and debris that ● Canopy Materia
constantly built up on it. He made this canopy ● ¾” EMT Conduit
that rests on the car using rubber feet to protect
the paint and he is able to take it off whenever he
needs to hit the road. This is a really ingenious
solution to a unique problem!
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 212

Dual Sport Bike Rack


The builder of this bike rack needed a way to
Materials Needed
attach storage bags to his bike when riding.

Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 213

Van Ladder
Another obstacle of van life is storage.
Travellers often turn to the roof when Materials Needed
looking for storage solutions. The only ● T Connectors

Drone Racing Gates


Drone Racing is a high intensity racing Materials Needed
that consists of flying drones fpv through ● T Connectors

Maker Faires we attended a few years ● T Connectors
ago. Using T Connectors we made a ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
slanted track that allows to players to ● ¾” EMT Conduit
race a ball to the bottom. The ball that
reached the bottom first set off a light
that announced the winner!
