The $10 PVC C-stand

Step 1Supplies

Supplies
Like I mentioned before, everything you need can be bought at your hardware store.

The things you will need are:

  • 3/4 inch PVC pipe - This stuff is usually sold in lengths of 10ft. Buy ten feet of this pipe. You will not have much leftover
  • 1/2 inch PVC pipe - Just like above, buy a 10 foot piece. This pipe will form the riser, or the part that goes up and down to adjust the height.
  • 2 3/4 tee junctions
  • 4 3/4 elbow junctions - These are those 90-degree connectors
  • 3 3/4 caps - These will be put on the legs to cover them.
  • 1 3/4 straight connector
  • 1 3/4 to 1/2 adapter - This adapter will make sure the 1/2" pipe will slide smoothly
  • Drill tap - You will need a tap to make screw threads in the adapter.
  • Screw - This eye-bolt screw should match the size of the tap above.

You will also need a saw to cut the pipe
