Default Non-Plumbing PVC Projects---What have you used it for?

Yesterday I was struggling with a pool maintenance task that I have
to do 2-3 times a year, and I decided to build a PVC fixture to make
the task less of a hassle. It made the job way easier. Guess what
it's for (the top + piece isn't glued down and is removable).

I also built a nice PVC cart to store my kayaks, with wheels so I
can roll the cart out to the driveway when I load the kayaks onto
the car.

What other non-plumbing uses have people found for PVC, beyond racks
for shoes.


I'm an old has-been hillbilly musician. I do a little tutoring young
people on country vocals and guitar. I have quite a bit of fairly high
end recording equipment but no vocal booth. So I took some 1 1/2 inch
pipe and cut it into 80 inch sections (4), and some 36 inch sections
(8). I purchased some 4 way couplings and made a 3X3 foot square.
(picture an old telephone booth). I just hang three of those very
heavy moving company quilts over the frame, put a singer in there with
a mic and bingo, a recording studio. Dang thing sounds as good as any
top notch studio. Cost me maybe 50 bucks and I take it down and put it
up as needed.

Lotta things one can do with pvc.
