Kayak Trailer Rack

Thanks for the review Gator!

"Great stuff from Maker Pipe! I went with the 1" EMT and used 8 connectors and 3 lengths of 10' pipe to make this kayak rack, which I mounted to the frame of my utility trailer/jon boat trailer. I attached my Malone Mega Wings to the rack securely. This rig allowed me to get all the family's watercraft to the lake, solid as a rock at 80 MPH." - Gator

"Everything came together perfectly. Strong, sturdy fittings allowed me to use conduit without frogging around with electrical fittings. Got it all done in a few hours. Couldn't be more satisfied." - Mike

Fold Out Adjustable Canopy

Jake Lewis — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 16:02:44 GMT

Matt built this sweet fold out adjustable canopy! He made the frame out of 3/4" EMT Conduit and Maker Pipe Connectors. The swing out functionality comes as a result of leaving the Adjustable Angle Flange base pieces loose. The leg that supports the frame when it's deployed is attached with Adjustable Angle Connectors. Those are also left loose to create a hinge mechanism. Matt then used the Telescoping Clamps with 1/2" EMT Conduit to create an adjustable leg that can be slid up or down. It's pretty simple overall but is highly functional!

Retractable car port/cover?

I’m looking to make something like this.

Are there any similar ideas or designs I could work from?

GeoDome Connector Needed

Paul Polanowski — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 14:50:01 GMT

For my Geo-Goat shelter project that took me 23 sec to plan, I think myself and the whole community will benefit from at least one type of the connectors (hubs) for a dome project : best surface to volume ration, good insulation / natural AC potential. Original credit goes to Paul Robinson, known as Geo-Dome on YouTube, authored Pushing The Envelope: The Dome Builder's Handboohttps://files-us-east-1.t-cdn.net/files/VLXL42VQAMqfJ1cEptmm6

He claims to invent all these, but to me most of that is common sense. As such a true EDC pipe hub was not proposed, only a “flattened end” that I think will deteriorate end of the pipe and its structural strength.

Looking for supports to suspend a 6 foot wooden dowel, 1 - 1/4” diam from ceiling using Jakes idea

Elizabeth Large — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 20:39:56 GMT

I’m looking on MP for “Threaded Pipe inserts”. Where are they and how do they work? I need to support 1 - 1/4” wooden dowel, will MP clamp hold that diameter? I will use Jakes idea to screw the bolt into ceiling joist, extend down, vertically to a MP “clamp” to hold 1 - 1/4 “ dowel to hang horizontally below ceiling. I plan to install 6-8 “hangars”. Ideas?

DIY Alter Shield

Jake Lewis — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 19:02:33 GMT

Jeff shared his build and this review! This is an Alter Shield which helps to protect snow and rain gauges. He braced it with some Maker Pipe Connectors and Conduit. Pretty unique and cool!

"I had to build a device called an Alter Shield, in order to test a device that I made, against. I knew it would require special bracing but, I had know idea where to get it. I found Maker Pipe's website, and they make exactly what I needed but, they were sold out. I called their office to see when they would have more in stock, and David the Owner answered. Since I only needed a a few parts, he said "let me see if I have any parts back there", and he managed to dig up the pieces that I needed! he shipped them that day and I got them two days later. There Were four other pieces that I realized I needed so, I called back and they got those sent out right away too! All this to say, Maker Pipe went the extra mile when I needed some uncommon parts ASAP. Thank you David!" - Jeff

Threaded Wall Mount

Jake Lewis — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 18:56:25 GMT

Greg shared this awesome threaded wall anchor solution. His brother in law told him about these and called them "Sammy Bolts". He got his from Menards (second photo), but we don't have those around here. Fortunately, I found some at Home Depot! He said that they also are available for brick and concrete as well. Pair them with a threaded pipe insert in the conduit or the hanger strap that he used and you've got a great solution that I can see a lot of possibilities with!

Table Storage
