We will not talk about the intended purpose of the product, but about the convenience of using varieties of plastic pipes precisely as a material for crafts. Plastic pipes are lightweight, strong and durable enough. They are dirt-resistant, dust-free and easy to clean. Products made from plastic pipes are safe to use even by young children (they do not break, do not have heavy weight, do not emit toxins).

For creative work, PVC pipes are often used, which are quite rigid and easily connected with special nozzles and “adapters”, allowing you to get collapsible structures.

Polypropylene pipes can also be used, but to connect them you will need a special welding machine or compression fittings, and the finished products cannot be disassembled.

Advantages and properties of pipes

Polypropylene has the lowest density of all plastics. However, this property cannot be attributed to disadvantages, since its indicators are sufficient for working with liquids and gases. The material is characterized by low moisture absorption and the ability to work in extreme conditions (both at low and high temperatures). Polypropylene has a low flexibility when again compared to other plastics. The material is characterized by high resistance to cracking, but only at constant temperatures. If there are sharp changes, then the likelihood of damage to the polypropylene pipe increases sharply.

The material is electrically insulated and resistant to a wide range of chemically active substances. Only a few reagents are capable of destroying polypropylene, but only under certain conditions (temperature, humidity) that are difficult to recreate. This type of plastic boasts a long service life, as already mentioned above. However, when the maximum permissible operating temperature is exceeded, the material begins to melt and no longer withstand pressure. In this situation, the service life is rapidly decreasing. Just one temperature jump is enough. Of course, this rule is more suitable for pipelines. It is unlikely that the crafts will be placed in an extreme environment and undergo similar tests.

Among other things, if you buy polypropylene from a reliable manufacturer, you can guarantee its environmental friendliness. Crafts made from this type of plastic are not subject to corrosion, which has become a real scourge for metals, and are perfect for both home decoration and site decoration. Due to the low weight of the pipes, the product is easy to move, and using the type of fastening by means of bolts, it is just as easy to dismantle and assemble it again in a different form.

For general cleaning, polypropylene can be washed with ordinary soapy water. The rest of the time, it is enough to wipe it with a damp cloth once a week, like any other surface.

Features of plastic

In this case, plastic means the materials used in the manufacture of pipes – polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polypropylene (PP). The first one is a cheaper type of plastic. It is used mainly in the arrangement of sewage systems, since it has all the advantages of polymers.

These are: high strength, affordable price, ease of installation, durability. PVC pipes have one drawback – they deform under the action of a liquid with a high temperature.

As for PP products, they have the same properties, but they react much better to hot water – the temperature can reach 60 degrees, and in the case of reinforcement, even more.

Both materials are great for creating furniture and other structures – they are easy to assemble. It is enough to come up with a sketch, buy pipes and assemble in the required order.

The simplicity of the design of the fittings and the possibility of gluing pipe products make furniture from plastic pipes easy to assemble.

As a result, you can get interior items with excellent qualities, since they will:

sustainable;
durable;
lungs;
safe;
durable;
cheap.

They are not afraid of moisture, easily assembled, disassembled, and amenable to modification.

Methods for fixing workpieces

If you are interested in the question of how to make an interesting craft with your own hands, then to give the plastic products the desired shape, you should stock up on some set of tools. You will need a gas torch, metal saw or jigsaw. Homemade products can be solid, connected with adhesive and bolts, or collapsible.

If you nevertheless decide to use this method, then the pipes must be cleaned of contamination in the places of the future connection. The edge of the pipe to be inserted should be coated with grease. When the pipe enters completely into the socket, it must be pushed back a little. This will allow you to further disassemble the structure.

The use of glue helps to make the structure more durable. The parts are first processed with sandpaper at the connection points, followed by thorough degreasing. The glue must be applied to both sides of the fastening – both the inner and the outer. When joining, the pipe is inserted tightly to failure, and then a quarter turn is made. After that, secure adhesion should be ensured by tight fit of the parts.

The option with bolting will be very laborious, as can be seen in the photo of crafts from plastic pipes. The master will need to mark the places where the holes are drilled and use a drill in the work. It is no longer necessary to glue, and the connections will be very strong.

Choice of construction and design

Glamorous Pink Plastic Tube Laptop Stand

Manufacturing of furniture begins with the choice of design and options for its design implementation. It is necessary to start from the function that the furniture will perform. Then the design parameters are selected:

collapsible or one-piece;
dimensions of the entire product;
the number of elements and their sizes;
a method of connecting parts of a structure.

Convenient bar counter for giving from plastic pipes

When thinking about a design, you can be inspired by looking at furniture magazines and catalogs, furniture sites on the Internet. This will not necessarily be furniture made of polypropylene pipes. Original ideas can arise when viewing options for rattan, wood, metal furniture.

Plastic pipe storage rack for boiler room

This stage of work ends with drawing up sketches, determining the necessary materials, drawing up a cost estimate. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account how you can use those materials that are already in stock, as well as availability, if materials need to be purchased.

Large and beautiful table with PVC pipe legs

What materials are needed

Necessary materials for creating furniture from PVC pipes

After the design is selected, it is necessary to draw up a list of materials and tools needed to create the craft. For this you may need:

plastic pipes;
fasteners: glue, screws, screws;
fitting.

Stages of the plastic pipe welding process

Plastic pipes are easy to cut. After that, a sharp edge with burrs remains, which must be cleaned. Just cut the threads. When heated, polymer pipes bend well, retaining a new shape after cooling. Sometimes it is easier to bend the frame rather than assemble it with pieces of pipe and fittings.

Plastic pipes of various shapes and fittings for them

Plastic pipes are of several types. All of them differ in price and ability to withstand various loads and temperature conditions. Knowing the properties of each type of pipe, you can make the best choice and save money.

They are divided by purpose:

plumbing
sewer.

Variety of types of plastic pipes

From the point of view of the manufacture of furniture and useful household appliances, sewer pipes, in contrast to water pipes, benefit from a lower price. They are manufactured in large diameters.

By the type of polymer from which the pipes are made, they are divided into:

polyvinyl chloride (PVC);

PVC pipes of different diameters and colors

polyethylene (PE);

Large diameter polyethylene pipes, straight and corrugated

polypropylene (PP).

Polypropylene pipes and fittings for them

They differ slightly from each other in properties. Polyethylene behaves worse at elevated temperatures and under the influence of sunlight, it is elastic. Polypropylene pipes are stronger and more rigid. The positive quality of PVC pipes is increased resistance to chemical attack and reduced flammability. They perfectly tolerate ultraviolet exposure. The difference in the performance characteristics of polymers in most cases will not be critical for the manufacture of furniture. Differences in price, however, are a factor to consider. The most expensive are polypropylene. The optimal price-quality ratio for creating furniture structures is possessed by PVC pipes.

In addition, pipes can be reinforced and unreinforced. Polymer pipes are most often reinforced with fiberglass or aluminum. The reinforcing layer is soldered between two layers of polymer. This is done to increase strength, rigidity, and reduce linear expansion when heated. Reinforced polypropylene pipes are used for hot water supply. The letters RC are added to the reinforced pipe designation. They can also be distinguished by their appearance. In addition, some manufacturers apply a colored stripe along the pipe, informing about the scope of the product. Pipes with a blue stripe are used for cold water supply, with a red stripe for hot water or pipelines with a heating medium. The presence of both strips indicates the versatility of the pipe. It should be borne in mind that reinforced pipes, although stronger, are much more expensive.

Trolley with fixing made of plastic pipes

What tools to use

In order to update your interior with crafts from plastic pipes with your own hands, you need a minimum amount of tools:

a hacksaw for metal or special scissors for plastic pipes;
pencil or marker;
roulette;
file;
special soldering iron for plastic pipes;
drill.

Gloves and goggles are good. Despite the fact that working with PVC pipes is not dangerous, chips still fly when sawing, and sharp edges remain. To avoid damaging your hands and eyes, it is best to use protection.

What can be made from plastic pipes

If desired, and with a good imagination, crafts for giving from plastic pipes can take up a significant part of your household, both in the house and on the backyard or in the garage. Products of different sizes and diameters can be bought at any construction market: their usual purpose is water and sewer mains, heating and irrigation systems, and it often happens that after the main work, pieces of polypropylene pipes of different lengths and diameters remain. If you have not thrown them away yet, then you can make very original and even useful crafts from plastic pipes with your own hands.

Sections of polypropylene pipes are best suited for the manufacture of artistic objects – they are rigid, they are easy to connect to each other using nozzles and adapters, so that later the structure can be disassembled. Scraps will also serve well for a summer cottage or playground, a children’s room or a car repair shop. The main thing is to see how they can be used. Polypropylene products are well connected by soldering: a non-separable, but very strong and durable construction is obtained.

Connection options

Not only handicrafts for summer cottages, household items or furniture, but also more complex structures can be made from plastic pipes. The main thing is to firmly connect the parts of the product. Connect them in such ways:

One piece is inserted into the socket of the other through a rubber seal;
Blanks of plastic pipes are connected with glue;
Details are connected to threaded hardware.

The first option is the simplest, but not reliable and tough enough. The contacting surfaces must first be cleaned of dust and lubricated with silicone or graphite grease (maybe even soapy water or liquid detergent). The section is inserted into the socket to the end, and then pulled back a few millimeters.

Such a construction of water pipes is easily disassembled, therefore it is suitable for seasonal use: this is how you can make children’s swings, chairs, water supply for the garden, etc.

The second option is more reliable, but more labor-intensive. Before gluing the scraps of sewer plastic pipes, the joints are also cleaned, sanded with fine sanding paper and degreased with a solvent or methylene chloride. Glue is applied to the entire outer surface, and 60% of the inner surface of the parts to be glued. Then the products are inserted into the socket and rotated by 900. Methylene chloride dries quickly – 60 seconds, so gluing must be done quickly.

The third option is to mark products and drill holes for bolts. Such hand-made pipe crafts are considered the most reliable, and they can always be disassembled for storage or alteration.

To connect the corners of structures or several sections in one place, fittings are used – tees, adapters, couplings. Therefore, structures of any complexity can be made from PVC or propylene pipes. Consider crafts for children and adults that you can make with your own hands from pvc pipes.

Creative shelf for placing the collection

The simplest version of a shelf made of plastic elements is pieces of material collected together. It is best to hang such an original composition on the wall. Choose the diameter of the pipe that you will use in the project depending on the dimensions of the items placed on the shelf. If, as in our version, the cells are occupied by machines, then 15-20 cm will be enough.

Preparation for work

For work, prepare:

a piece of plastic pipe with a diameter of about 15 cm;
a hacksaw for cutting material (we recommend using a vise so that the plastic does not slip while working with a hacksaw) or a pipe cutter;
roulette;
pencil;
glue;
clamps or large clothespins;
sandpaper;
blue paint in a can or can;
brush.

To hang the product on the wall, use a drill and 2-3 self-tapping screws with dowels.

Work description

Mark the length of the pipe in 20-25 cm increments. The number of elements depends on the size of the shelf you need.
Secure the material with a vise and cut the pieces along the marks.
Lightly sand the outer edges of the parts.
In order for the product to have an even color, staining must be done at this stage. Place the plastic items on a flat surface covered with newspaper or protective film. Paint them on one side. When the paint is completely dry, turn the parts over and apply the paint again.
Start forming the shelf. The composition can be either completely symmetrical or randomly folded. When shaping when connecting elements, take into account the peculiarities of the interior in which the object will be located.
Glue parts, starting with the middle ones. After applying the glue and connecting the pieces, fix them with clamps or large clothespins until the glue dries. Then move on to the next elements.
Attach the finished shelf to the wall, mark the places for screwing in the self-tapping screws.
Prepare holes in the wall.
Place dowels in them.
Screw in self-tapping screws.

Completed, hang up the shelf, help your son or daughter set up a collection of favorite toys.

All ingenious is simple! Using this idea, you can build a tabletop wine rack. The main thing is to choose the material of a suitable size and make sure that the base of the structure is stable. For originality, combine elements of different diameters.

Make a floor-standing shoe rack in the same way. Of course, here you will need a large pipe, for example, such as is used when installing a sewage system. Take care of proper decoration. And keep in mind that glue is unlikely to be able to hold a heavy large structure. Therefore, it is better to connect the elements with a screw-nut method, having previously drilled holes in the right places.

Little things for the interior

From scraps of products, you can design an organizer for an office or workshop. The reliability of the craft is determined by the connection options: by self-tapping screws to the surface of the table or wall, or by gluing together structural parts. The first option will be stationary, the second – mobile (portable). It is better to take pipelines in white or gray;

From plastic pieces of small diameter, you will get a beautiful and original stand for a tablet or netbook;

What else can be made of pipes? For example, shelves for books in modern or high-tech style, photo frames or mirrors;

Large-diameter scraps will make a shoe shelf with compartments, and smaller pieces – a flower stand. In order to make flower pots with your own hands, you will need products of a very large diameter – from 100 mm and above. Such country crafts made of polypropylene pipes can be placed both in the house and on the street; Usually these are elements of the sewage system;
A floor vase of any length, decorated with any patterns, can even serve as a gift for a friend. To make a vase, take pipes for water supply or sewage systems of medium diameter, and you can make such a type-setting vase – insert the trimmings one into one, using each next segment of a smaller diameter;

Indoor or outdoor spotlight with a minimum of decorations will perfectly fit into a techno-style interior;

A hanger, a holder for things, a chair or a table, a rack, a shelf, a bookcase, a shower, a watering pad – there are so many ideas for a country house that you can’t remember everything, it would be a fantasy;

The garden house can be equipped with a homemade storm drain made of pipes, sawn in half lengthwise, and connected with glue or bolts into one long drain.

Table vase and organizer for small items

From short pieces of pipe, you can make convenient cups for small items on your desk. And if you want to make a wall-mounted flower vase, you can use the halves of the wide sewer pipes.

By adding decor with your favorite color, as well as gold or silver dusting, you can get a truly unique product. When inserting the plastic bottom of the vase, the seam must be worked out with silicone for tightness.

How to give one or another shape to PVC pipes.

In order to subsequently bend or flatten the pipe, it must be heated with a gas burner and immediately given the required shape. As a last resort, if there is no burner in the house, you can heat the pipes over the fire of the gas stove. And you can cut the pipes with a metal saw or a jigsaw, you can connect all the parts using cold welding (for this you need to purchase a special adhesive).

1 Car trunk.

Such a trunk for a car can be built from water pipes. The bike holder for the car looks no less interesting.

2 Bolster on the bed.

4 Vase and flower pots.

Cutting off a cylinder of the required length from the pipe, and pasting it with a self-adhesive effective film, you can end up with a wonderful vase, inside which you can install a glass of water and put fresh flowers.

Interior decorative items and gifts

A creative approach will help you create truly original things. When making, do not forget to decorate the crafts with colored paper or paints.

Working with plastic pipes is not just a pleasure to create. This is the embodiment of the most daring ideas and fantasies. In addition, a special tool is not needed for work, sometimes a simple hacksaw, ruler and felt-tip pen are enough. Crafts can be done with the whole family, involving children. It strengthens family relationships and develops creative thinking.

Festive wreath.

We cut pipes of different diameters into small cylinders of the same length, glue them together to form a wreath, paint with a suitable spray paint, drill holes on top and thread a rope, hang the wreath on the wall, and put small Christmas balls in several cylinders.

Wall tree.

We take pipes of different diameters, cut them into cylinders of the same length. We prepare the canvas, glue cylinders on it, forming the outline of a Christmas tree, create a footboard from a large pipe, hang the composition on the wall, and put various Christmas tree decorations in different cylinders.

6 Children’s waterfall.

To harden the child, you can prepare such an impromptu waterfall by connecting two hoses with water turned on to the footrests of the product, and making holes for water drain in the upper bar.

Playpen for children

A playpen for babies is necessary if the mother plans to do household chores when the child is nearby. This design will protect the little person, but at the same time will not restrict his movements. The playpen is easy to make from polypropylene tubes. For work you will need:

Tee fittings and eight corners.
Small diameter tubes.
Scissors for cutting polypropylene.

The playpen is assembled very simply:

First, the tubes are cut into pieces of the desired length (small horizontal and long vertical “rods”).
Then, T-shaped fittings are put on each twig on both sides.
On the sides, short tubes are inserted into the connecting parts, two on each side.
Now they are again put on T-shaped fittings, which are connected at the bottom and top with the next twig.

Then the wall of twigs is “wrapped” 90 degrees with the help of corners.

Bunk bed

The bunk bed is assembled entirely from tubes and fittings. The very sleeping place, where the mattress will lie, is strengthened with the help of short tubes, which are often placed from the side to the side. It is easy to make a neat ladder from the material. If the bed is for boys, then even a small horizontal bar for exercise in the morning can be fitted to it. For one child, they equip a workplace from below. To do this, it is enough to collect additional supports from the tubes under the tabletop. If the baby is still quite tiny, then the bed is decorated with high sides.

10 garden and vegetable garden ideas

I would never have thought that the possibilities of using pipes in the garden and vegetable garden are so diverse. Personally, only hotbeds and greenhouses came to my mind, but it turned out that there are much more ideas! Some of them impress with their originality, others conquer with their practicality.

Homemade pipe ideas for the garden and vegetable garden delight in originality, practicality and variety.

I chose the top ten from them, from my point of view: the most useful in the household and quite simple to implement.

Fences, gates and garden screens

Using pipes in this way would definitely not have occurred to me until I saw these photos. I was especially impressed by the photo on the left – this is how much work and patience it takes to first cut rings of the same thickness from pipes of different diameters, then select them in such a way as to fill the given area, and then securely fasten them. But the result was definitely worth it.

From simple to very elegant designs

Using PVC pipes, you can fence the entire area or separate part of it (for example, a vegetable garden or front garden), make a fence for the terrace or garden screens for zoning the territory. They can be purely utilitarian, or they can acquire a very elegant look – everything is in your hands.

Pipe fences for every taste and for any purpose

A practical idea is to use pipes as a frame for a mesh fencing. So you can not only make a fence, but also, for example, a summer dwelling for chickens.

Aviaries and summer houses for chickens

Many have already appreciated the advantages of dacha chicken farming. And perhaps the most difficult thing is to find a budget solution for building a chicken coop and walking, especially when it comes to seasonal rather than year-round maintenance. But PVC pipes help out here too:

Do you need a summer enclosure for chickens and hens? PVC pipes will help out!

The options for such structures may be different. In particular, there are quite clever mobile solutions, which is very practical: chickens very quickly turn a green meadow into a trampled desert, so that regular moving will benefit both them and the landscape.

The structure can be not only stationary, but also mobile

Greenhouses and hotbeds

That’s why polypropylene pipes are ideal. Moreover, the design can be selected for every taste and skill level. If there are no skills at all to work with this material, as well as the tools necessary for such a case, you can even do without them – you will find an example in the publication Budgetary greenhouse made of film. Tips from the garden video blogger Alena Volkova. Well, masters with experience will surely build a house for plants for everyone to see without prompts.

Greenhouses and greenhouses made of polypropylene pipes – fast, convenient, practical and reliable

By the way, pay attention: the structures in the top two photos can act with equal success both as a greenhouse and as a summer chicken dwelling. And the greenhouse in the photo below on the right brilliantly combines two functions of pipes at once: they serve as a frame and provide watering.

Supports for plants

Various types of supports for horticultural crops are excellently obtained from PVC pipes: arches, trellises, fences for berry bushes. One of our readers also has this experience: Support for climbing plants made of PVC pipes.

A variety of plant supports can be made from pipes.

And another talked about how she made a pretty fence for bushes out of pipe scraps. And by the way, it can be not only an elegant decorative, but also a convenient practical solution, which is suitable both for currants with gooseberries, and for peonies or other plants, the bushes of which tend to fall apart at the time of flowering or fruiting.

Shrub supports made of polypropylene pipes

Well, then, having mastered the work with pipes to perfection, you can proceed to the manufacture of more complex and time-consuming decorative supports and elements of garden design.

And you can build not only an arch, but also something more complicated …

Summer shower

You can also use pipes almost for their intended purpose. That is, water will flow through them. And the result is great fun for children and adults – a refreshing summer shower.

Summer shower is great fun on a hot day

The only nuance that needs to be foreseen, from my point of view, is the source of water. Hardening is a useful procedure, of course, but an ice shower from well water is still extreme fun. So it is worth taking care of a large container in which water for your shower will bask in the sun.

Washbasin or sink for a summer kitchen

Without water and in the summer kitchen, there is no place or place, and near the garden it will come in handy: rinse fresh herbs or radishes, wash your hands. And again, polypropylene pipes will come to our aid – not only to supply water, but also to build a lightweight mobile sink.

Yard amenities

Such a design will turn out to be noticeably lighter than a wooden or metal counterpart, which means that it can be easily transferred to where it is needed most. All you have to do is connect the hose – and you’re done!

laundry dryer

They splashed in the shower, washed their hands – you need a towel. And then somewhere you have to dry it. There are convenient dryers for this case. Of course, made of PVC pipes, who would doubt it!

Dry clothes and towels

The only drawback of the structures shown in the photo, from my point of view, is their bulkiness. They are undoubtedly good in the summer by the pool – but where to put them in the winter? It is worth worrying about this right away so that the problem does not show up at the most inopportune moment.

However, these designs do not exhaust ideas for country dryers, so you can choose any other – for example, from a selection of 9 practical ideas for clothes dryers in the country.

Parking spaces for bicycles

A small parking lot for bicycles is assembled from polypropylene tubes of a small diameter. First you need to form a grid. Gaps are left between its rods, which are necessary to accommodate the bicycle wheel. A T-shaped fitting is fixed on each crossbar, with the help of which the support holder will be fixed in the future. It is assembled from short pipe pieces and similar fittings. They are subsequently passed through one end of short tubes, which are fixed on the “lattice” with the other ends. As a result, the two planes will intersect at right angles, and the entire structure will stand firmly on the ground.

Garden carts

How often in the country something needs to be transferred somewhere – from materials to the harvested crop. But it is much easier to transport (and healthier) than to carry on yourself! And this means that the cart is an absolutely necessary thing in the dacha economy. Or even more than one.

All kinds of carts are a very useful thing in the dacha economy.

You can also assemble such a cart as a trailer for a bicycle. True, I don’t know how practical it is, but lovers of long cycling trips, perhaps, will appreciate the idea: not only everything for a picnic, but also a tent with fishing rods will be loaded into such a trailer without any problems …

Houses and other fun for the playground

In general, adults always have things to do in the country. But the children are more difficult: do not go to mother’s flower beds, you cannot go to the pond, it is dangerous on the street … What then to do? There is no such question if the elders have taken care of a good playground for their child, where there is also a place for interesting crafts from PVC pipes.

PVC pipes are not only houses

I think that the idea of a house (or rather, its frame) made of pipes has already occurred to many. But, as you can see, the possibilities of the universal “building material” are not limited to this. Houses and sheds from the sun, play pavilions and mini-attractions – you can do everything that you have enough imagination and skills for. For example, these are the game stands:

Fun with water and sand is interesting for children of different ages

Fun with water and sand can keep the kids busy for a long time. And since the structure is mobile, it can always be rearranged where the beloved child will be under supervision.

Gazebos and awnings

Adults, however, also need to think not only about summer cottage affairs, but also about rest. This means that we need a gazebo, a tent or at least a canopy where you can hide from the sun and sit in a good company over a cup of tea or with barbecue.

Gazebo, tent or shed – everything can be made from polypropylene pipes

I don’t know how about the reliability and winter hardiness of such a frame – maybe it’s not worth striking at something fundamental right away … But the simplest shed, as they say, hastily, can be built for an experiment. And then time will tell …

No. 18. Seedling containers

If at the dacha every square meter counts, then it’s time to bring the idea of vertical gardens to life. Thus, it is convenient to grow greens and some berries. Excellent containers will come out of the scraps of plastic sewer pipes if you cut holes in them in advance with a jigsaw for seedlings and the outflow of excess water. It remains only to fill the soil containers and arrange the vertical beds one above the other. You can attach them again to a stand made of plastic pipes. Some connect the beds with ropes and hang them from the wall – there are many options.

Long lengths of sewer pipes are useful for growing garden strawberries. They will stand upright like columns. Holes for plants are prepared in advance in them, and pipes of a smaller diameter are laid inside. Thanks to the small holes in the latter, water will flow freely to the seedlings.

No. 19. Chicken feeder

Anyone who equips a chicken coop in a shed in the country is well aware of the problem when birds scatter feed from a feeder. If several sewer pipes with a characteristic bend at the end are vertically fixed in the hen house, then it will be possible to add grain to the birds without going into the barn. Moreover, the hens will no longer be able to scatter feed, which means that the chicken coop will be cleaner, and the savings on grain are decent.

14 Vertical strawberry beds.

In a pvc pipe, using a drill with a special round nozzle, you should drill large holes, then dig the pipe into the ground, and pour soil into it, and then plant strawberry seedlings in the round holes.

No. 20. Drip irrigation system

Such a craft will greatly simplify the care of the lawn, and everything is very simple to do. Several pipe sections must be connected in the form of a square, lattice or in any other way. In the finished structure, it is important to make a sufficient number of small holes, connect a watering hose to the resulting system – and the mobile drip irrigation system is ready.

An open shower is done in a similar way. A cube or parallelepiped of sufficient height is assembled from pipe sections, many small holes are made in the upper part and water is supplied through a hose. The result is a great place for a summer vacation.

Outdoor cinema screen frame

The frame of the screen is created by a frame made of PVC pipes with a white canvas stretched over it. You just need to think about the tripod legs. Ready-made factory options are not cheap, and a do-it-yourself screen will cost a penny.

Homemade catamaran made of plastic pipes

Quite a large and complex craft. All fastenings must be carefully glued so that the catamaran does not fall apart. As floats, you can use a hermetically sealed section of a large diameter.

35 Transport.

Their pvc pipes can be used to create a full-fledged children’s transport or trailer, children will be delighted with such machines.

36 Football goal.

Children are free to play soccer with such a great goal.

37 Deck chair.

An excellent solution for giving are sun loungers assembled from pvc tubes, the lounger can be sewn from dense fabric.

How to make a bench from PVC pipes:

Dear readers, today we showed you what can be made of pvc pipes, as you can see there are a lot of ideas, you just have to choose the right one for yourself, and slowly bring it to life.

5 ideas for a country house

Don’t rush to close the page! Yes, I know that many people find the idea of using polypropylene pipes in their home design strange and not very attractive. But believe me, there are ideas that are worth at least taking a look at. For a country house, you can make very unusual things from PVC pipes. I chose from the whole variety offered by the Internet only the most-most (in my opinion, of course) unusual ways of using PVC pipes in a country house.

Screens and partitions

A similar idea was at the very beginning of the collection when it came to fences and garden screens. Now take a look at how it can be implemented in the interior: Stylish screens and partitions made of PVC pipes In my opinion, it turns out very decently. It is easier to make a screen out of pipes of the same diameter, but from rings of different sizes “lace” comes out more interesting, of course. And you can also do it like this: You can arrange pipe cuttings not only of different diameters, but also of different lengths The option shown in the photo on the right may not be suitable for every interior, but we must admit: the idea is interesting and deserves attention.

Decor for interior

If you do not risk taking up large-scale work right away, you can first practice on small decorative elements – frames, panels, etc. The technology for their manufacture is similar, but there is also a smaller amount of work, and you can choose an option that does not require fitting in an area that is strictly limited by frames. Here, for example: Before moving on to large-scale projects, you can practice on small products Immediately, you can’t say that the same polypropylene pipes served as the material for these crafts, right?

Unusual lamps

But this is definitely not an idea for beginners – to implement it, you need certain skills and time to experiment: I doubt that everything will work out on the first try. But the result … Unusual lamps made of large-diameter pipes As you can see, these lamps are fundamentally different from those intended for a garage or workshop (although, in fact, the choice depends not only on the purpose of the room, but also on its interior as a whole). Effective, isn’t it? Yes, it will not be very easy to implement such an idea, but perhaps it will inspire someone, and then …

Wine storage rack

I paid attention to these racks, because last season we had a winemaking season: so many berries and fruits were born that there was no way to cope with them in any other way. And then, of course, I had to think about setting up my own wine cellar … For those who appreciate homemade wine By the way, the idea of a narrow rack (as in the photo on the left) can be adapted for other needs – such sections are useful both in the kitchen and in the bathroom. The only nuance that confuses me in such a design is the difficulties with cleaning: how can you wipe the dust here, I wonder? ..

Kitchen little things

Returning from the heights of design thought to everyday trifles, I want to show you what can be done from PVC pipe scraps for a country kitchen. It seems to be sheer trifles, but every hostess knows that comfort and convenience often depend on such “trifles”. Sometimes the convenience of the hostess depends on such “little things”. As you can see, the possibilities of polypropylene pipes are almost endless. But the collection contains only a part of the ideas for their possible use! I hope it didn’t take too long, you didn’t have time to get tired and found something useful and interesting for yourself. If you implement any idea, share the result and impressions in the comments, okay?

Well, and “for a snack” – a useful video, where the process of joining PVC pipes using a special soldering iron is shown in detail and clearly. The plot can be useful for those who have never dealt with this material.

Conclusion

As it has already become clear, polypropylene pipes have so many applications that it is even difficult to squeeze their list into the framework of one article. This material is somewhat reminiscent of a designer: the master has a set of parts that can be fastened using connecting elements, as his heart desires. Therefore, it is easy to get from the pipes both a simple construction, the laconicism of which borders on primitivism, and a complex composition with ornate interweaving of individual fragments.
