Under belly storage tubes

I've wanted to do this for a while too, and just got around to it today. It started with 2 10' sections of schedule 40 PVC pipe, 1 piece of 3/4 strut and 4 6" pipe brackets(off of internet as no one sells locally). I cut the strut to 36" lengths(good round number), painted(hangers too) and bolted them to the flange of the I beam frame. I then cut my pipes to have a total of 8' lengths with the caps installed and glued them together. Got my 12 year old to help me install them and this is the result. They will be used for holding my awning poles and one will be a spare for now. I am sure something will be put there the first trip!









The rear one holds my awning poles.

And the hole drilled in the stainless washer will let me attach a 1/8" galvanized cable to the cap and strap/strut so I won't lose them.

Wow, really nice mounting job! If I ever get around to it I planned on just using perforated hanger strapping or big zip ties.
ReneeG - I like the black pipe, nice touch.

Thank you. DH wanted it to look like part of the original equipment.

Definitely looks durable. We shall see how the pipe straps hold up.

Very nice, you just inspired me to do the same thing.

Very nice. We did something similar for our sewer hoses but it runs parallel to the underside.

Good job and nice write up. I have been wanting to do this as well and your pics+product list help. Thanks:)
