DIY: Laundry Room Drying Rack

DIY: Laundry Room Drying Rack

I really wanted to save the money and build a laundry rack for Megan.
I knew I could do it with a picture, so I did. Here's my DIY Ballard style Drying Rack.
Here is a Similar one from Centsationalgirl Laundry Rack that inspired me.

The Laundry Room isn't exactly gigantic, so that more space I could utilize the better!

You are going to need some tools and materials. (Here's What I used)

1. Three 1/2 x 2” poplar boards ($5.90) or white board 8 Feet long ($2.67)
2. Three 3/8” dowel rods (48” long) ($1.20 each)
3. Sheetrock screw system ($2.41)
4. White chain with small screw eyes (.68 cents)
5. Primer and paint of your choice
6. White Paneling with design of your choice. ($9.78)
7. Framing Nails and Panel Board nails

- Drill with Bits ( 3/8th's needed for Dowels)
- Rubber Mallet
- Sander with 120 thru 220 Grit Paper
- Jigsaw or other cutting contraption (Ryobi Orbital Saw is $28.00 at Home Depot)
