To support the pipes, I decided on using a plastic mesh (plastic chicken wire?) I had left over from a different project.
I ran it from the top frame of my greenhouse (cover off), down to the front, making sure it was at a decent angle to keep the pipes going on an approximate 45 degree angle.

Support the mesh by tying it to the greenhouse, and frame with twist ties.
I had a large roll of the stuff (useful for training plants too), and used it liberally to hold the mesh down.

When I knew how far to take the front, I cut the frame as needed.

You will also need to cut out the middle poles so you can get your hand in, and work with the bucket if needed.

Add the pipes
Add your pipes to the mesh, and tie them into place with more twist tie wire.
