Could I build something to do this storage job myself.. and if so.. how?
Question:I really like this item/design... but its only available in the USA... and even if it was in the UK... it would probably cost 3 times the price. http://www.golfbagstorage.net/
We have two golf bags (with irons and clubs) in the garage. I'm trying to tidy up the garage. theres too much rubbish on the floor space and it's only a small garage.
We only play golf occasionally on public municpal courses.
Any DIY ideas of how I could build something to do a similar wall hold/store job? Preferably whilst keeping costs to a minimum. I'm thinking wood tbh.. like a wooden base rather than metal...if that's possible.
Any useful ideas, thoughts, or plans on how to go about it please ?
I'm not a great DIY-er but am persistant. My garage is brick and I have a masonary drill.
I'd like to put a DIY golfbag storage system up on walls which jut-out slightly just next to and opposite where I made this wall-tidy (from another question) http://tinyurl.com/2p7ooa
Thanks. :)
Answers:
I encourage you to go ahead. I think you have determined what you need to do. The bottom shelf would be easiest made of wood. A couple small metsalbrackets attached to the brick wall with the wood shelf on top.
To hold the top of the bag, use two eyescrews anchored into the brick and a lightweight chain(from a hardware store) and a hook on each end of the chain.
Good luck
go to thefamilyhandyman.com the current issue has a rack to hold golf bags
1" schedule 40 (thick walled) PVC pipe is another option- I have used it for many projects instead of welding.
It is very strong in lengths less than about 3 feet, there are all kinds of fittings available to make exactly the size/shape that you want, can be cut with common tools, is impervious to rust, rot, water, and it takes paint well.
I built a killer racing seat frame out of PVC- and it holds up very well.
I would dry fit the entire project before cementing anything together, and you can easily duplicate your project for multiple bags.
You might try angle iron. It's actually light weight aluminum / alloy and has several holes along the entire length. Grab some tin snips / metal shears and a bag full of small nuts and bolts. It's like a "big kid's Erector set".
Have fun!
