Warm days usually call for a dip in the pool. If you’re a pool owner, you know that this usually results in lots of used towels. Finding a space to hang them dry always seems to be a problem. But there’s a solution to that. And you know what else is good about it? It’s DIY.
This multi-purpose PVC towel rack is made out of PVC plumber’s type. The rack can hold as many towels as you want, depending on the number of bars you put in. Additionally, it can hold floaties and pool noodles, too.

This project is simple and easy to do it’s like playing with legos. You just have to get the cutting part right. After that, all you have to do is assemble. Think of “connect the dots” – except that there are no dots, just connectors, elbows, and pipes.
