Industrial Pipe Shelving
Build sturdy, industrial-style wall shelving using 3/4" black iron pipe frames pressed with elbows/tees and wood planks as shelves. Pressed joints give clean lines and fast assembly without threading. Use wall brackets or pipe clamps to secure frames to studs. Great for living rooms, shops, or offices.
Rolling Garment/Display Rack
Create a modular retail-grade clothing rack or pop-up display using pressed rectangular bases, verticals, and a top crossbar. Add a wood or steel base plate with casters for mobility. The press system makes it easy to break down and reconfigure for trade shows, markets, or photo shoots.
Firewood Storage Rack
Press together a corrosion-protected, heavy-duty log rack with two U-frame ends and cross rails. Apply rust-inhibiting paint to black iron pipe for outdoor use. The pressed joints resist wobble and sag, making it ideal for garages, patios, or cabins.
Garden Trellis/Greenhouse Frame
Build modular trellis panels or a small greenhouse frame from 3/4" pipe, using pressed tees and elbows for quick, repeatable connections. Prime and paint for weather resistance and attach netting or poly sheeting. The frame can be expanded season-to-season thanks to consistent press fittings.
Bike or Tool Storage Stand
Assemble a floor-standing rack for bikes or shop tools with pressed horizontal cradles and vertical supports. Add rubber sleeves or wooden inserts where items contact the frame. The press jaw speeds up building multiple stands for garages, schools, or community spaces.
