The brackets will sit flat on the top rail and bend down and flat on the bottom rail and bend up.

So that left this area over the range hood, that had previously been covered up, exposed.We looked at our options and we discovered that the maker of our range hood does sell just the plain stainless steel tube to cover the vent pipe if yours is exposed, but that tube is really kind of expensive for something so plain and unexciting.

And it would still probably end up being a lot of work because we’d still probably need to to cut it down to fit our weird wonky space exactly.So we thought we could DIY something better!So here’s the area that we’re working with here:.

So as you can see, we have a vent pipe and it needed covering.We decided that our best bet would probably be a combination of stainless steel and wood for this project.

The wood because it would be easy to work with to get it to fit properly next to our really slopey kitchen ceiling, and the stainless steel to match all the stainless steel everywhere else.. We started out with four “posts” made out of 2×2 pine, sanded them down really well, and then cut slots for the stainless steel to slide into.. Next, I painted the parts of the posts that would be visible with the same paint we used for the cabinets.. Then it was time to assemble!

We had three sheets of 30 gauge stainless steel cut to cover the front and the two sides of the pipe and go all the way back to the wall.. We used GE Iron Grip adhesive to put the whole thing together and that really helped make this project a success rather than a total disaster.If you’re thinking that it might be dumpster rental time for you soon too, here are some tips that we learned:.

-Call a few different companies and get their prices.Go with someone who can give you a price as soon as you call and arrange to have it at your place within a few days.

This is the company that does this all the time and you can bet their pricing and weighing will be a little more honest.We had some companies that told us they’d “have to get back to us” with their pricing.
