Wow, your laundry can float on the edges of a giant origami sculpture. That’s the magic of this geometric rack. It feels less like a chore and more like draping fabric over an airy piece of art.
With its quirky angles and roomy design, you’ll never run out of drying space.
Plus, it becomes a conversation piece in your backyard, blending creativity with purpose in a way that makes the simple act of hanging laundry oddly joyful.
Materials Needed
- 12–15 lightweight wooden strips (1” × 2” × 36”)
- 12 wood dowels or rods (11” thick, cut to 24”-30”)
- Metal corner brackets and bolts for strong joints
- Measuring tape and carpenter’s square
- Sandpaper
- Optional: outdoor sealant
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Cut your wooden strips into equal lengths and sand smooth. These will serve as the main structural arms for your dome.
Step 2: Begin assembling triangular sections using the strips and metal brackets. Each triangle forms part of the larger dome frame.
Step 3: Connect the triangles together until you’ve formed a geometric shape, you can think of it like building a giant 3D puzzle.
Step 4: Insert dowels horizontally at various points in the structure. These act as your drying rods.
Step 5: Test its stability and adjust any loose joints. If you’d like extra longevity, coat it with an outdoor-safe wood finish.
Tips:
I found that placing lighter items on the upper rods and heavier clothes near the bottom balances the structure beautifully. The more you use it, the more it feels like an art piece evolving with every load of laundry.
