Type in the dimensions, get the parts list
Enter width, depth, height and the number of shelves, and the structure builds instantly: tubes grouped by length with counts, fittings grouped by shape with counts. Copy the whole parts list as text and use it straight at the builders' merchant.
Spin it in 3D before you buy
Your rack appears as a live 3D model. Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom, tap to select a shelf or add one at that height. Open it full screen to check the shape from every angle, so you spot "that's not what I pictured" before you pay for the tube.
Clamps and screw-on joints, counted separately
With clamps, tubes are never drilled — they run full length side by side, held by right-angle and swivel couplers, so overhang and end caps are counted too. With cast screw-on joints, you choose whether uprights or ledgers run through; the other member is split, and the cut lengths and counts appear in the parts list. Insertion depth is adjustable.
Corner fittings picked by their real shape
L, T, three-way corner, four-way and five-way fittings are counted by the shape each position actually needs, never lumped together as "joints". Base plates for free-standing legs, saddle bands and rafter clamps for shelf boards, and end caps for exposed ends are picked up as well. Built around standard 48.6 mm outside-diameter tube.
Log stores, mono-pitch roofs and diagonal bracing
Tap a shelf to move it up or down, or switch each of its four sides on and off — so open-fronted designs like a log store work fine. Mono-pitch mode lets you set different front and back upright heights, and diagonal bracing can be added.

SEE IT IN 3D
• A live 3D model of your rack. Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom, tap to add or select a shelf.
• Tap a shelf to move it up or down, or turn any of its four sides on and off — so you can build open-front designs like a firewood rack.
• Open the model full screen to check the structure from every angle.
TWO WAYS TO JOIN, COUNTED CORRECTLY
• Clamp type: pipes are never drilled through — full-length pipes are laid alongside each other and held with right-angle and swivel couplers. Overhang and end caps are counted.
• Screw-joint type: pipes slot into cast fittings. Choose which member runs through (posts or beams); the others are split, and the split lengths and counts appear in your parts list.
• Corner fittings are chosen by their real shape — L, T, 3-way corner, 4-way and 5-way — not lumped into one.
BUILT FOR REAL BUILDS
• Standard 48.6 mm scaffold pipe
• Base plates for free-standing legs, saddle bands and rafter clamps for shelf boards, end caps for exposed ends
• Sloped-roof mode: set different front and back post heights for a slanted top
• Copy the whole parts list as text for your shopping trip
HONEST AND OFFLINE
