STEPS FOR MAKING A DO IT YOURSELF FISHING ROD HOLDER
Making your own DIY fishing pole holder is a simple project that can be completed in six stages on a wet day.
THE FIRST STEP
The first step in constructing this handmade fishing rod holder is to attach the plywood backing to the studs in your unfinished garage or basement using wood screws, as shown in the photo. Get the suitable sort of screw for your PVC rod holders after your garage is built. This will depend on the medium or material to which you will be attaching them once your garage is finished.
THE SECOND STEP
Following that, using a hacksaw, cut the PVC into 1-foot chunks (you can also ask your local hardware store if they can cut it into 1-foot sections for you). Ensure that you have one segment per rod when it comes to the amount of 1-foot portions.
THE THIRD STEP
Personal choice and the size of the reels should be taken into consideration when determining the spacing of the PVC pipe on the wood backing. While there are many other fishing pole storage options available, this DIY project is particularly useful since it can be customized to accommodate the amount of fishing rods and sizes of fishing reels that you have.
THE FOURTH STEP
Make two holes on the exterior of the PVC pipe using a drill bit. One should be around 2 inches from the bottom of the PVC, and the other should be approximately 2 inches from the top of the PVC, respectively.
Make certain that the exterior hole is big enough to let a screwdriver or a screw gun passing through it.
THE FIFTH STEP
Put on a smaller drill bit and utilize the outside holes to drill two smaller holes from the inside out, starting with the outer holes (these holes should be just slightly larger than the shaft of the screw so that the head of the screw will cinch down on the PVC and keep it secure to the wall).
SIXTH STEP
Make use of a screwdriver or a screw gun to attach the PVC pipe to the plywood on both the top and bottom sides.
Once your fishing rod holder DIY project is complete, just insert your rod grips into the PVC pipes to finish the project.
