80/20 T-Slot Summer Solutions
Looking for a custom project to take your mind off the heat? Here are just a few summer-themed solutions you can tackle with 80/20's t-slot aluminum extrusions.
Backyard/Patio Projects
If you’re looking to spruce up your patio or backyard area for outdoor socializing and activities, you might want to consider these t-slot solutions.
This patio bar is built in modular units, which makes it a simple matter of customizing it to your patio or back yard. It's perfect for entertaining as it minimizes trips into the house and lets you focus on your friends and family.
Of course, you'll probably want a grill stand to complement your new patio bar. This design is completely customizable and can be tailored to fit your current grill to a T! Plus the modular nature of t-slot aluminum extrusions makes adding shelves and hooks a snap.
No backyard cookout is complete without a place to eat. This modular picnic table can be designed to accommodate as many (or as few) people as you'd like. It even features built-in bins that can be used for beverages and storage.
Here are a couple of yard games to keep your guests entertained at your pool party or cookout. Cornhole is a game where players score points by tossing bean bags at their opponents' board. Ladder Ball is played by throwing bolas (two balls connected by a string) onto rungs of a ladder for points.
Extend the gardening season with this customizable garden box. It's lightweight, durable design will protect your starters from the elements (or any critters that might happen along) while twin wall polycarbonate panels let in plenty of sunlight.
Kayaking Projects
Kayaking is a blast but storing the equipment when it's not in use can be quite the chore. Fortunately, we've got some attractive and customizable solutions on deck for storing your kayaking gear during your downtime.
Kayaks were designed for fun in the water, but their size, shape, and weight make them darned difficult to store. This custom kayak stand is adjustable to fit kayaks, canoes, and other small boats. There's even room to store your paddles and life jackets.
Got more than one kayak to store? This wall-mounted kayak rack is designed to hold three boats, but can be easily expanded for more. The kayak bars are reinforced with 45-degree supports to make this one heavy duty rack.
Save storage space with this wall-mounted kayak paddle rack. It's completely customizable, with rubber bumpers to protect your paddles from wear.
This wall-mounted kayak chair hanger gets your kayak seat up and out of the way when you're not using it. Steel hooks make it simple to attach these together so you can store as many kayak chairs as you want. And the wall mount provides airflow and ventilation so your chairs will dry without mildewing or warping.
Fishing Projects
Fancy yourself a fisherman? Here are a couple of fishing-related solutions that no angler should do without.
Store your fishing poles and rods on this wall-mounted fishing pole holder. It keeps your poles upright and separate so you don't have to worry about warping or tangled fishing line. And it's easily expandable so you can add on to it as you acquire more rods.
Nobody *enjoys* cleaning fish, but this table will at least make it a quick and painless process. A tilting tabletop lets you set the table to your specifications and slide-out receptacles make cleaning up afterwards a breeze.
Other Summer Projects
Here are a few more summer storage solutions to help you keep your water gear organized and accessible.
This custom wall-mounted tube rack is just the ticket for storing your water tubes and equipment off the floor and out of the way. It's customizable to fit just about any space and to accommodate all of your water gear.
Looking for a central place to store your life jackets? This wall-mounted rack provides vertical storage and airflow to prevent mildew when drying. You can customize it to fit any space and even add a shelf to hold additional water gear.
And finally, if you're looking for a portable storage solution for your life jackets and other aquatic gear, this custom cart may very well be the answer. Hanging rods let you store your life jackets vertically for faster drying and easy access while locking casters let you move between locations with ease.
