1. Cut the Pipe Sections

Create a diagram of your pot rack design, including detailed measurements for each section of pipe. Where each pipe attaches to a connector, be sure to subtract the size of the connectors—½ inch for a tee and ¾ inch for an elbow—from the length of the pipe section. Include in the diagram five tees for mounting the pot rack on the wall: one at each corner 2 inches from the elbows on the vertical sides and one in the middle of the center rail. Make a cut list from the drawing. Using a tubing cutter, cut all the pipe sections to length.
