The PVC Pipe Book: Projects for the Home, Garden, and Homestead

by Chris Peterson

Overview

Put that spare PVC pipe to work with more than 50 inventive, step-by-step projects that yield tough and durable storage, furniture, gardening, toys, and much more, with The PVC Pipe Book.

With a few simple fittings, common home-improvement-store PVC pipe can be treated much like building blocks. Learn to engineer it in new ways for DIY projects that prove useful indoors and outside.

Whether you're a homeowner, gardener, homesteader, prepper, or just a parent looking for some new toy ideas, the projects in The PVC Pipe Book give you plenty of options. Step-by-step instructions, parts lists, and photographs of completed projects make sure you will have fun and love the results of your work.

Projects range from simple creations like chicken feeders and waterers, to much more complex builds like a rolling workshop table.

Other projects include:

• Practical creations include a step-stool, toy bin, safety gate, and gardening caddy
• Fun, fanciful ideas include a rocket launcher, water table, even soccer goals
• Homestead projects include a pet washer, chicken feeder, birdhouse, and hanging herb garden

For anyone who needs some insight and a few tips on working with PVC, Peterson covers all the basics, as well as finishing techniques.
