DIY Pipe Fitting Wooden Coat Rack Tutorial

This little seating area is great for putting on shoes and a quiet pet resting place and I love the vintage mould (I think that’s what the chalkboard is hanging on) but you know what? I was ready for a change. Surprise, surprise! haha!

Time to get creative and since we love pipe and wood projects for a bit of a rustic industrial style (see this), those are the materials I used to create a pipe fitting wooden coat rack. 

What I used:

  • Three 3/8 inch galvanized flanges
  • Three 3/8 inch 90 degree elbows
  • Three 3/8 inch black caps
  • Three 3/8 inch x close steel pipe nipples
  • Twelve 3/4 inch sheet metal screws (these fit nicely for securing the flanges to wood)
  • RustOleum Universal Metallic spray paint + primer (oil rubbed bronze)
  • Scrap 1 x 6 pine board 
  • RustOleum Ultimate wood stain (Kona)
  • RustOleum Ultimate polyurethane
  • 2 drywall anchors and screws (to secure to wall)

What I did:

1. I connected my pipe fittings in this order: flange, nipple, elbow, nipple, cap.

2. Then I gave them a few light coats of spray paint and let dry.

3. I cut my scrap pine board to 30 inches.

4. Then sanded the edges smooth and wiped clean.

5. Next using a foam paint brush, I applied the wood stain and let it sit for a couple of minutes. You’ll want to wear gloves!

6. Then wiped away the stain with an old rag and let it dry.

7. After about an hour, I brushed on the polyurethane and let it dry according to manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Once everything was dry, I secured the first pipe hook to the center of my wood plank. Then secured the other two.

9. I attached it to the wall using drywall anchors and screws.

Perfect for hanging jackets, the dog’s leash, or my tote bag.
