Well, here was my Issue.
I have my parade/bonfire couch (Couch on wheels) but no cup holders on it, tried ones from the store, but it broke the first night at the bonfire, so as I was looking around for some thing to use as a cup holder and this is what i came up with.
This would also work on a deck, work bench, wood post, things like that.
It will hold standard Soda bottles, cans and glasses.
Im going to make a 4in one so I can use my 24 oz camlebac H2O bottle, or a powerade size bottle.
Supplies
3 in pvc pipe (4 in if you want it to hold a 32oz bottle)
small cordage, i used 1/8 in cord
saw to cut pvc
sandpaper/file to smooth edges of pvc
drill with bit to match cordage
2 screws to couch.
What i Did
First cut your PVC pipe to length, I measured just about the height of a can.
Smooth cut edges with sandpaper or file.
Drill hole at top 1/4in down for a screw, Drill one hole at bottom to match up with top hole. Picture 3.
Drill holes arround bottom to string cardage though, enough so it will make a floor in the cup holder. Picture 3.
Weave the floor of the cup holder. See picture 5 and 6.
Attach cup holder to couch with screws. Seen in pictue 5.
Enjoy
