This is a great floating shelf that not only is efficient but stylish and adds personality to your space. With things that can be recycled and reused this is also a great way to repurpose and reuse some things that you or a friend may have laying around.
Pipe shelves are great because they are completely customizable. You can set up as many shelves as you need, and they can be any size, shape or orientation. Plus, The Home Depot will cut and thread pipe for you so you don’t need any specialty tools.
I found a nice looking, straight 2 x 8 to use for the shelf.
I also picked up some 1/2-inch black iron pipe and a few fittings (elbows, couplers, floor flanges) at my local Home Depot store. Black pipe costs about $1/foot, and most fittings cost between $1 and $4.
After I mapped out the location of the shelf, I drilled holes in the drywall and inserted drywall anchors. If you’re planning on storing heavy items, pick up anchors rated for more weight
This is 1/2-inch (inside diameter) pipe so I used a 1-inch spade bit to drill holes through the board. The shelf is held in place by sandwiching the board between a coupler and an elbow.
With a lot of finagling, I got all the pipe attached, and I propped up the shelf with spare boards while I screwed it to the wall.
