Museum Installation Displays and Structures

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I was recently on vacation with my family. While on vacation we visited a number of museums. One was the Mt. Washington Observatory Museum in North Conway, NH the other was the Children’s Museum in Boston, MA. In both places I saw Kee Klamp like fittings used to design structures of various shapes and sizes. Below are a few examples of how people are using fitting for designing museum installations. Click on the pictures below for more information about each piece. You can also see the whole collection by clicking here.

Building with PVC - Child’s Play!

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

After getting back from the Maker Faire we had a whole box of PVC fittings and pipe. Once I saw it I knew my kids would love it. So I let them loose on a pile of PVC pipe and fittings. They loved it! So on top of building structures for use in and around the home a set of fittings and pipe would make a great child’s play kit!

Soccer Goal (SketchUp)

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Here is a Soccer Goal made with Kee Klamp pipe fittings. There are several advantages of this configuration. 1) You can break it down and set it up. 2) You can effectively make the goal any size you like by varying the pipe lengths. This solution would work as a permanent or temporary solution. If you’re interested in using this type of design to build a sporting enclosure of any type please contact us. You can download the SketchUp file of this setup from our SketchUp Library. You can find netting for this type of soccer frame at Seamar.com.

Sports Enclosures

Damian Rispoli used Kee Klamp fittings, some pipe and sports netting to make an enclosure / backstop for this sports area in the back of his home. Kee Klamp fittings make it possible for you to build large structures like this one without the need for professional assistance. They obtained their sports mesh online through Seamar.com. If you are interested in building a sports enclosure like the one below please contact us and we will provide the assistance you need to get the job done.
