Step 6 Support Frame

We need a frame to support our pipes, nothing fancy, it doesn't even have to be all that strong.

Not everyone will find the same unwanted junk as I did, so be creative, look at what is around, and imagine what you could create.

I found an old discarded baby's crib, it was structurally sound, but I wouldn't use it for a baby, it just didn't look healthy enough for that.
So, instead of being discarded, it has now found a new home, doing something useful!

Building it
I put the crib in my greenhouse, and found that half of it fit in perfectly, right before the hinge point.
So I unscrewed the hinge, removed the section from the hinge to the front, and then rejoined the front.
(I also go rid of the entire top section)

Now, this doesn't support itself, so I took the metal locking strips, bent them, and turned them into a support.

I only had the two piece of metal, so the front and back only had one support each.
This did make it a bit wobbly, and later on caused some issues.
I'll show you how I fixed that in a later step.

Awesome, that's no crib, it's a garden pen to stop bubba wandering into the bush and being taken by a dingo ;)
