Supplies:<\/strong>
3 – 10\u2019 PVC Pipes, 1.5\u201d diameter (HD Link<\/a>)
4 – 60 degree elbows, 1.5\u201d diameter (HD Link<\/a>)
4 – 90 degree elbows, 1.5\u201d diameter (HD Link<\/a>)
2 – Tee Connectors, 1.5\u201d diameter (HD Link<\/a>)
2 – End Caps, 1.5\u201d diameter (HD Link<\/a>)
PVC one-step glue or Primer\/Cement combination (HD Link<\/a>)
Hacksaw (Home Depot Link<\/a>)
Sharpie to mark assembled angles

Approximate Cost at Home Depot in 2022: $100 plus tax if you buy everything listed above. It would be less than that if you already have the PVC glue or a hacksaw\/other cutting instrument. It will be a little bit more if you decide to paint it.

NOTE: As always, please use caution in cutting, assembling, and gluing this structure. We recommend having *at least* one helper to stabilize and hold pieces as needed.

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. With the hacksaw, cut each 10′ PVC pipe to the following lengths: 4\u2019, 4\u2019, 1\u2019, 1\u2019<\/strong>.<\/li>
  2. Assemble – without gluing – to establish the correct angles for all the elbows (if you will not be painting, this is also a good time to rotate any printing towards the bottom or back of the structure); twist and push as you assemble to create a semi-secure \u2018dry\u2019 connection. CAUTION: These pieces are *not* completely stable and can come apart quite easily until they are glued. Please have your helper(s) hold each side as you are assembling and have plenty of space to work, so that if a piece falls, it won\u2019t damage anything.
