Holey moley. How big was that pvc? 1.5" ? You could buy the perfed angle iron at a big hardware store for that kind of money..

Ouch! For that money, I could buy the Saratoga steel door storage cart from Quadratec (part #12020.210).

Excellent! I'm going to make a couple of these!

My mod of your idea.
 
Here is some help for you -- I just arrived back from the depot and bought two of the following:
1/2" x 10' galv pipe (cut into 48", 30", 24" pieces, one of each from each pipe for a total of 6 pieces + scrap, they cut and re-threaded them)
Furniture dolly (included 4 casters each {1000 lbs load}, plus it is pre assembled)
and 4 of:
1/2" galv 90 elbow
1/2" galv flanges.
The total bill was about $80.
I came home and assembled the uprights

put a piece of 1" x 4" on both sides of the dollies
http://my.project-jk.com/data/500/medium/IMG_6187.JPG

then attached the upright to the dolly.

All that is left is to carpet the exposed wood, and get insulation for the uprights.

Both are using a 24" piece for the top part, and the short one is for the back door to lay down, and the tall one is for the front doors to sit upright. I can't take pics right now because it is raining, but I will as soon as I can.

I've en trolling the board for awhile now and decided to join this morning just so I could post in this thread. I made a door rack yesterday for $55 from home depot out of 1" PVC. The $55 includes a $10 PVC pipe cutter and PVC cement (which I didn't bother using, everything fit together real well). I also did the math wrong and bought one too man PVC pipes (I thought they were 8 feet, but they turned out to be 10) and 1 less piece of foam than I sould have. I didn't bother with casters. as I can just carry the doors to the rack in the garage.

Parts List (corrected for extra pipe and missing foam):

5 10' X 1" PVC pipes
14 1" Socket to Socket 90 deg elbows
10 1" all Socket Ts
7 1" ID pipe foam (6' long)
1 PVC pipe cutter

The finished product is a little flimsy, but I think it will get the job done. The reaer doors need to be layed down rather than upright because the bottom is too narrow to fit across the pipe. Anyway, here is the finished product, I'm going to go take my doors off now and I'll let you know how it goes later!

fullbore...that looks great. How sturdy is it, and can you provide the dimensions? I'd love to do something very similar! Thanks
