How Do You Make a Rod Holder for a Truck Bed?

Making a rod holder for your truck bed is a great way to transport your fishing rods while driving to the lake or river. It will keep your rods from getting tangled and damaged, and also make them easier to access when you are ready to fish.

You can make a rod holder for your truck bed using some simple materials that are available at any home improvement store. Here is what you will need:

  • PVC pipe – You will need enough PVC pipe to create the shape of the rod holder. The diameter of the PVC pipe should be large enough for your fishing rods.
  • PVC elbows – This will be used to connect the pieces of PVC pipe together.
  • PVC cement – This product is used to permanently attach the pieces of PVC pipe together.
  • Drill
  • Screws and bolts

Once you have all of these materials, you can begin assembling your rod holder. Start by cutting the pieces of PVC pipe in the desired shape, then attach the elbows and cement them in place with PVC cement.

Once everything is secure, use a drill to make holes for screws and bolts that will attach the rod holder to your truck bed. Make sure that all holes are drilled in a straight line so that everything lines up correctly when attaching it to your truck bed.

Once you have attached all of the pieces together and secured it in place with screws and bolts, you should have a sturdy rod holder that can transport your fishing rods safely.
