Is there really no alternative to Home Depot's outlandish prices? Nearly
$20.00, for a 6-foot piece of 3/4 inch galvanized pipe? I am wanting to
replace a shelf in the pantry I built off the kitchen years ago, and hang a
piece of pipe beneath it to hang S hooks on for pots and pans. Only it
looks like the price for such would exceed $100.00 for the six-foot shelf I
have planned. Uses a 2 x 12 and the aforementioned piece of pipe, along
with mounting hardware etc. I checked with Lowe's, and they are just as
bad, from what I can tell. Are there really no other options?
Many thanks for any advice or ideas...
Dave

I use 1-1/4" dowel rod to hang my pots and pans. It is about 7' long
with support (wood curtain rod brackets) at each end and in the middle.
No cast iron hanging on it, just alum. and stainless.

Sure there are other options.....just use a piece of particle board
shelving, three shelf brackets with rod holders, and a wood closet
dowel. Should work find for normal pots and pans.

Well, compare to a plumbing supply. If that's no better that's today's
cost. You got raises (hopefully!) over the past ten years. So did
everyone involved from the mining of the metal to the cashier who would
check you out.
Consider other materials.
Shelf: $11 (Same item number $8 in Aug 2008)

Pole: $14
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=67480-47361-23710PHRLG
Might need a support/hanger for mid part(s) of pole. Maybe that's why
you want real pipe.

Check electrical conduit. Comes in a thick walled and a thin walled. I
would think the thinner stuff would be sturdy enough unless you're hanging
all cast iron stuff. I purchased some thin walled stuff in 1 1/4 inch last
month at Lowes for $7.35 per 10 ft to reinforce a canopy cover I put up to
shade my dock. Seems to be pretty stiff in that size and a lot cheaper than
the galvanized or black pipe I was initually considering going with. I
think it's measured as O.D rather than I.D. however, if that makes a
difference.
