I checked out the pipe at Home Depot and the PSI ratings on this pipe
and it is almost double than what they are running on it.

The problem is that most PVC pipe is not UV stabilized.

If it's painted or enclosed, great. If not, it probably gets brittle
with age.

I lost count of how many PVC shop aids, truck racks, work stands,
storage devices, etc... that I made that became brittle and simply
crumpled with sunlight exposure.
