My wife follows a number of “crafty” blogs and pointed out this PVC Playhouse project. The blog has a simple plan for building a nice looking PVC framed playhouse for kids. If you are thinking of putting together a project like this, take a look at our furniture grade PVC, PVC fittings, and PVC Snap Clamps.

Geekdad from Wired Magazine has posted a “how to” article on building a backyard movie theater. We’ve had people contact us about building these in the past, so I figured that I’d post up a link to their instructions. We carry PVC fittings that could be used to construct a movie screen structure. If you really wanted to add durability, strength, and weight you could try building it with with size 7 Kee Klamp or Kee Lite fittings and galvanized fence posts. Click here to see the instructions.
This Old House has posted an article on how to build a backyard soccer goal with PVC. They included step by step instructions and complete list of parts and tools. Checkout our Snap PVC fittings, furniture PVC, and Snap Clamps as an alternative for attaching the mesh to the frame.
A couple of weeks a go my wife found a book called Kids Weaving by Sarah Swett. It contains numerous weaving projects for kids (notably kids of all ages). Inside was a complete description of how to build a loom from PVC. I contacted Sarah, and she kindly allowed us to post the instructions for building a loom out of PVC pipe and fittings.

Here is a laptop stand that uses a few pieces of pvc pipe and fittings. This could be used to stow a laptop beside a desk or on a shelf. Click here for instructions. [via]
One of our customers, Dustin, came up with a creative use for our PVC fittings and Snap Clamps. He used them to create and setup a wall for his haunted house. Here is what Dustin had to say:
The first thing the patrons came to was the first PVC Hallway which was put together using the 3-way and 4-way furniture grade fittings and covered by black heavy weight vinyl sheeting held on with the snap clamps.
Skulls were stenciled onto the inside and outside of the sheeting. The hallway was very sturdy when put together and featured 2 strobe lights in the hallway itself. The effect was very creepy as the skulls would appear and fade with the strobe lighting flashes. Second was an ‘L” shaped room,that we had a live actor hide in. Again used the same basic parts to construct this room. In the dark,the room was almost invisible,and the actor would be behind you without the patron even knowing he was there. We had great success using your items.Our haunt was such a success that we are expanding the haunt by triple the size it was this year! I look forward to doing much business with you.
Your service is incredible!
Thanks again-Dustin

This PVC Light Tent was designed by Gordon Coale using our PVC Fittings and Snap Clamps. It looks like it is used for taking product shots or shots of smaller objects. See more pictures and step by step instructions by clicking here.
Need to create some extra carrying room on your car or van? Try building a rack out of PVC. This is what Scot Dinsmore has done. He has created a PVC basket that attaches to the existing cross members of a car rack. He is offering these racks for sale on his web site: http://pvcaracks.com/
On a recent camping trip I observed some people playing a game called Ladder Golf. I instantly thought that one of these sets could be built using the PVC fittings we sell.
I put together an Instructable on this subject, click here for step by step instructions.
