What You’ll Need

• PVC Board
• PVC Pipe + Caps
• T-Connectors + Perpendicular Joints
• PVC Sealant & Liquid Nails

How it Works

• Use the PVC boards as shelves. You can cut slats in them so that water will be able to drain from the shelves. This will keep your soap bars from disintegrating because it’s sitting in water.
• Attach the shelves to the holders using Liquid Nails.
• Tension Rod system; A small PVC pipe fits inside of the main tube with a cap on each end.
• A spring tensions against another small piece of PVC that sticks horizontally into the main pipe from inside the top shelf.
• This keeps your shower rack in place without use of screws!
