| Vertical PVC Laundry Sorting System |
My son and I built this Vertical PVC Laundry Sorter with Sterlite bins together.
He did the cutting and measuring while I pushed the pieces together.
We sat down and pieced it together pretty quickly.
Materials List- - 4 lengths 1/2" PVC Pipe
- 24 1/2" Ts
- 4 1/2" Cross
- 4 1/2" Elbows
- 8 1/2" Caps
- 4 58 quart Sterlite Containers

If you are concerned about a toddler pulling the while thing over consider anchoring it to the wall with a strap and grabber screw in the stud.
So what do you think?
Ingenious is what I think.

Awesome. I have these exact bins that I use for sorting. In this house we have built in shelves in a closet that work for them near the bedrooms for easy access to where clothes are stripped. But I know we'll be moving soon and this will work perfect for our next stop! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I'm going to make one this weekend that holds 5 bins. I'll be glad to reclaim my laundry room floor. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteLooks great ! I was looking at your list and it says 4 1/2 inch T's . I think I am missing something cause I counted 24 from the picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for catching the typo. :)
DeleteThis fantastic!! We made one today and love it!! I have an idea for this and want to talk with you privately. If you would not mind could you email me at our6girls@gmail.com. We have been asked to build a few more of these but I want to speak with you first. Thanks

I have to admit... I am squeamish about correspondence ever since I got a virus from someone who commented on my blog. They turned out to be someone malicious. :( I hate to hurt anyone's feeling when they are genuine. :(
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I've been thinking about doing the EXACT SAME THING!!!! Now I don't have to think about it. Thanks!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat! I think it would be a great way to store recyclables until it's time to take them out to the curb. Those gallon jugs and cardboard boxes (even flattened ones) take up a lot of space!
ReplyDeleteIt is also a good idea to organize your dirty clothes by using a laundry sorter, that way your clothes will already be in their proper place when you need to do them.
ReplyDeleteIf you consistently have very little laundry in each basket I can see this working. But if you're like me and the baskets are more than half full, 1/2" PVC is not going to cut it. At least it didn't in my case. It falls apart *constantly.* So I am investing in a heap of gorilla glue and gluing it til heck won't have it. Otherwise it's a great idea! It's made my laundry process so much less painful!
ReplyDeleteHi Bearess, Luckily, I have not had trouble with mine coming apart, but I did struggle with the toy bin holder that I made for my boys. I ended up having to glue that with sprinkler glue. I don't like to have to glue because it dries fast and if things are not twisted right it ends up weird.
DeleteI hope you can solve the issue you are having. :) Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you for this. The only thing I added was was casters so it rolls. I also made mine shorter and put a light weight wood top so I could fold clothes. The top is removable and fits an ironing pad. It has stood the test of time for us.
ReplyDeleteI loved the product. Easy to assemble and looks great. Perfect for my laundry. :D
ReplyDeleteLove this idea..... I'm going to make a shoe rack from your idea. I've been trying to solve my shoe pile issue for awhile because store bought racks are just really overpriced
ReplyDeleteI love this! My husband helped me by using the chop saw. Took less than an hour to make and assembled so easily! Thank you for sharing!
