How to make a folding clothes dryer from PVC pipes

When living in an apartment, drying clothes becomes a problem due to limited space. To solve this problem, you can make a folding dryer. It is screwed to the front wall of the house on the balcony or loggia. When folded, the dryer takes up no space at all, and, if necessary, unfolds in 1 second.

Materials:


  • PVC pipe 25 mm;
  • door hinges 4 pcs.;
  • screws with nuts M4-M6;
  • dowel-screws 6-8 mm;
  • linen cord.

Dryer manufacturing process


For the dryer you need to prepare 2 pieces of PVC pipe 45 cm each.

This length will allow you not to block the passage on the balcony. The tubes are applied to the door hinges, as in the photo, and outlined with a marker.

The loops are cut lengthwise to the markings and bent along the lines. All this can be done without unnecessary noise with a hand saw and pliers.

Next you need to screw the tubes to the loops. To do this, holes are drilled or burned in them. An insert will need to be made where the pipe joins the loop. For reliability, you need to screw it in two places. 3 holes are prepared in the tubes at the same distance for pulling the cord.

Hinges with long tubes are screwed to the wall on the balcony so that opening occurs from the bottom up.

Short tubes with loops are installed underneath them on the side. They are positioned so that when the half with the pipes is opened, they act as supports for the dryer. Then a clothesline is stretched over the long tubes.
