HEY... I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO BUILDS STUFF WITH PVC!
Maureen sent these photos of her
fun PVC doll furniture projects.

I spotted this target game the other day. It's made with 1/2-inch PVC
pipe and fittings. The top two tees aren't glued so the legs can fold back for storage. The balls are regular tennis
balls and the target is made with a Velcro material. Looks easy to make and fun to play.

Take a look at this clever PVC
pipe fence.

Glenn in Chicago got tired of viewing his neighbor's wall.
So, with the neighbor's permission, he constructed this trellis. During spring and summer, he hangs potted plants
on it. In the winter, it's used for Christmas lights, wreaths and snowflakes.
"Sure cheers up the dining room," Glenn says.

Yep, that's a four poster bed made entirely with PVC pipe
and MDO plywood for the bedboards. The head and footboard are removable. Doug says it's rock solid. He tells me
that plans for the bed, as well as other projects are now available.

Tree Cover submitted by Bim in Oklahoma. He uses it to
keep springtime cottonwood blooms off his small trees. Also ideal to keep deer and other animals from destroying
newly planted trees and shrubs. Cover the PVC frame with fiberglass screen door material and fasten it to the pipe
with cable ties.

On a recent trip, I noticed this towel hamper at the hotel
pool. Could be modified for use as a clothes hamper at home. Or?

LET'S SEE YOUR PROJECT!

John in Wisconsin built this handy Canoe Caddy. You can, too. Here's
his instructions:
You can buy these for $75 in the sporting stores, but why not build one
in about an hour? It supports a boat up to 200 lbs.
12 ft. of 1-1/4" PVC pipe
4 elbows
4 caps (through which the axles are inserted)
One metal axle and two wheels
Some kind of strap to spread caddy legs when hauling boat (see the brown one I use)
One leg to steady caddy when boat is placed on top two of the legs should
be shorter to allow them to fold into longer legs add a strap of your choice to wrap around boat/canoe to secure
during
hauling.
Wheels of your choice (replacement lawn mower shells are nice).
Thanks, John!
