I needed a flat space to dry wet items, so I made this drying rack that sits on top of the bathtub. When I’m not using it, it can be disassembled and stored!

I purchased 1/2 inch PVC pipe and four 90 degree elbows (always make sure all your elbows fit your tubing before purchasing!) I measured the clear area on the tub and cut lengths of pipe to fit. My area was 41×30, and my PVC elbows were 1.5 inches, so I cut two pipes at 38 inches (41-3), and two at 27 inches (30-3). I used a compound miter saw, but PVC cuts easily with hand saws as well. I assembled the frame with the PVC elbows. I did NOT use glue.

I had some nylon mesh in my fabric stash, and sewed a long, wide tube out of the fabric as wide as the PVC frame, then slipped the tube over the frame. If you have a mesh laundry bag, you could make the frame to fit the laundry bag for a similar effect.
