The theme here seems to be that PVC works for fishing rods. Fishing rods are long, and PVC comes in long tubes. Likewise, ceiling mount. Long fishing rods need a place to rest out of the way. Walls usually are cluttered already, so why not hang them on the ceiling. The ceiling is also a good spot for rods because nothing will fall on them up there — all you have to do is be careful you don’t let them fall yourself.
Option 1: PVC on Wood
Here’s a simple one. You can make this at home. It’s also very inexpensive. It could take a while to build though relative to the other options.
Materials for this fishing rod holder:
2? PVC pipe (length depends on number of rods needed)
Either 2?x4? or 1?x4? lumber (length depends on number of rods needed)
Saw
Drill
1/2? Screws
Option 2: Hanging Tree
This is a great option if you just have a few rods to store. It is quick and easy to build and you don’t have to spend a lot of time giving each rod an individual home.
Materials for this fishing rod holder:
3/4? PVC pipe
90-degree elbow pipe fittings
90-degree cross-tee pipe fittings
90-degree tee pipe fittings
Metal pipe strap
PVC Primer & Glue
Saw
Screws
I shared these ideas with a fisherman I know, and he seemed to think this was a pretty good idea. So if it passes that test (this guy makes a lot of things to do with fishing himself), it might just be a good installment.
If you’re looking for something different you don’t necessarily have to use a PVC pipe. For example, you could just as easily use a metal pipe from an online metal retail store instead. Let me know if you decide to make one of your own – I’d love to see it in action.
