I saw a post on here recently with a very similar idea for door storage, so I decided to give it a shot this weekend because I got tired of hefting my doors around the garage to get to my cabinets...
My garage doubles as my workshop and floor space is at a premium, so instead of making a large 4 door cart, I made 2 2-door carts, that way I can store them more easily when they're not in use. Plus I rarely take off the rear doors (small kids) so I figured this way I can keep one cart up on a storage rack until I need it. Total cost for 2 carts was about $180, including 2 furniture dollies I got at Harbor Freight. The cost of PVC is crazy right now, so fittings are expensive, but overall for my convenience and piece of mind, a very easy $180 to spend.
Anyway, for the important part...

Materials (per cart):
- one furniture dolly ($17.99 from Harbor Freight)
- (2) - 3/4" thick scrap wood to fill in sides of dolly, to prevent PVC from sagging
- (3) - 10' lengths of PVC pipe, I used 1-1/2" ** if you're making 2 carts, 5 lengths will do!** ($30.36)
- (2) - T-fitting ($8.34)
- (10) - 90* elbow fittings ($28.50)
- (4) - 2" pipe straps ($3.12)
- PVC primer & glue ($10.57)
- (6) - 36" - for the vertical pieces
- (3) - 14" - for the top horizontal pieces
- (4) - 11" - for the base
