The use of polypropylene (PVC) pipes in the construction industry, as well as for the transportation of liquid, gaseous substances, began relatively recently. Various scraps of material remaining after the completion of the main work encourage craftsmen, and today designers, to find new practical applications for them. Do-it-yourself furniture is made from plastic pipes for the home: cabinets, racks, coasters, chairs, tables, dryers, decor, lamps and even small buildings for the country.

Such wide popularity is dictated by the properties of PVC. Products from it:

• They have a small weight.
• Durable. The only thing to be wary of is the impact high temperatures may deform parts.
• Corrosion resistant.
• Inexpensive.
• Easy to work. When designing plastic products, the diffusion welding method, gluing parts or threaded fittings are used. Depending on the choice of the master, a permanent connection or a collapsible structure will be obtained.
• Non-toxic. This characteristic allows the use of PVC pipes for the manufacture of various pieces of furniture for children.

Various tables and small tables are among the most popular types of furniture. We propose to make a simple desktop from polypropylene pipes and hollow door leaf. This tabletop size will allow you to place a laptop, textbooks, notebooks, maps, diagrams, etc. on the surface. Therefore, the product can become a workplace for both a school student and an office employee.

Prepare everything you need

Tools and materials:

• Hacksaw or miter saw to cut the material to the desired size.
• A screwdriver or a puncher will help attach the legs of polypropylene structures to the work surface.
• Threaded screws for 1.25, 1.5 - 15 pcs.
• PVC glue, can be replaced with small self-tapping screws.
• End caps - 5 pcs.
• Desktop plugs - 5 pcs.
• Cross-shaped plugs - 4 pcs.
• T-shaped ordinary plugs - 4 pcs.
• T-shaped four-way connectors - 4 pcs.
• Pieces of PVC pipes: 5 pcs. 0.075 m (3 in.), 10 pcs. 0.3 m (12 in.) x 4 0.5 m (20 in) x 4 0.75 m (30 in) each. In the diagrams, the dimensions of polypropylene pipes are presented in inches.

All T-connectors can be replaced by soldering. Please note that this will slightly reduce the final cost of the table, but its appearance will suffer.

1. First of all, we proceed to the assembly of the left side of the frame. The assembly includes 4-way and regular T-connections, table and flat plugs. All details are shown in the picture.

First, we simply assemble the structure to check the accuracy of plastic parts. Then we disassemble it and assemble it finally, fastening the joints with glue. After applying a special adhesive, it will be impossible to redo the work.

PVC adhesive should be applied to the inside of the connector. Check that all parts are correctly placed, only then press the pipe into the hole of the connector-fitting with force, hold for about 30 seconds.

Attention! The adhesive composition is not recommended for indoor use, so instead of it, you can seal the connection between the pipe and the connector with a screw. Also, if you do not want to erase the markings from plastic pipes with acetone or another solvent, position the parts when assembling so that the inscriptions are on the back.

1. At this stage, we collect ready-made fragments of the PVC structure. It is necessary to place the ends of the polypropylene pipes with the back into the fittings that correspond to them on the sides: left and right. Everything is shown in detail in the diagram. Assemble the fragments, check the correct assembly. Then completely disassemble and reassemble with adhesive.

Apply the chemical to inner part fittings of the first side, hold the connection up to 30 seconds until Chemical substance won't freeze. Then do the same with the second side fragment of the structure. The base frame is complete.

1. The last stage of do-it-yourself work is the installation of the countertop on the base. Since the working surface is a hollow door leaf, care must be taken. The space inside is filled with foam, cardboard or completely free. Inaccurate drilling can damage the entire structure.

• We recommend placing the door face down on a clean, level surface. Install the finished PVC structure symmetrically - as it should be located in the finished form. Tabletop plugs will be adjacent to the door.
• Mark with a pencil where the holes are to be drilled. After that, remove the base from the countertop.
• Using a screwdriver or drill, screw the screws into all the marked places. If the work went smoothly, instead of a screw, you can insert a screwdriver to widen the holes. If there were difficulties (the screw hit the bar), you will not need a screwdriver. While the screw needs to be removed.
• Place the PVC base on the door, adjust the location so that all the holes match up. Insert screws, connect the working panel and legs.

As a finish, it is better to use varnish or paint. While working at the table, various contaminants will definitely fall on it. Therefore, the coating will protect this furniture from rapid damage, facilitate its care.

A chair made with your own hands will please you with ease, cheapness and practicality. In addition, you must initially decide what size furniture made of plastic pipes you need, and accordingly, adjust set parameters details.

For each chair you will need:

• About 3 meters PVC pipe.
• 8 swivel fittings for right angle connection.
• 6 T-connectors.
• Glue designed to connect plastic parts: special or universal.

Attention! If you do not have sufficient experience in connecting plastic pipes, choose not a special quick-drying adhesive for work, but a universal slower-acting agent. In this case, you will get an additional chance to correct a possible mistake.

• Hacksaw or saw with fine teeth.
• Fabric for sewing the soft part of the seat.
• Sewing machine.

You need to prepare blanks of the following sizes for a 2-year-old baby with your own hands:

• 7 pieces with seat depth and width (detail A) - 25 cm.
• 4 pieces with a distance from the surface to the seat (detail B) - 13 cm.
• 4 pieces with a height of the armrests (detail C) - 10 cm.
• 2 pieces with back height (detail D) - 15 cm.

Or, for example, for a child who is already 7 years old:

1. Cut the pipe according to the selected parameters.
2. First, assemble the part that makes up the back of the chair.
3. Assemble the seat, side parts.
4. Check the stability of the product.
5. Cut a strip of cotton bright fabric 2 times the width of the seat. Fold in half face inward, sew, turn inside out. From both ends, tuck and sew pockets through which pipes will be threaded - the top one for the back and the front one for the seat (as in a deck chair).
6. Disassemble the frame, install the seat in place.

The child will appreciate new item furniture, can easily play with them. The use of plastic water pipes is absolutely harmless, they do not emit toxic substances. A reliable assembly makes the product completely safe.

Furniture for home and summer cottages can be made not only from plumbing, but also from sewer pipes, however, the former have much higher ecological characteristics. Large-diameter pipes are used to create creative storage systems, original decorative objects, etc.

From plastic pipes with their own hands.

Organizers - convenient storage devices

Even without special skills, you can easily make such useful crafts from plastic pipes with your own hands. Even very short cuts will work. different diameter. To work, you need a sharp knife and glue.

The drawing shows how to cut off one end of the pieces of pipes, so that you can then make a convenient organizer for writing trifles or bathroom accessories. It is only important to try to ensure that the angles are the same everywhere.

Then, the cuts of the workpiece are attached to a plane: a stand or a wall. If desired, you can paint the organizers or apply a pattern or ornament to them. And you can even paste photos of the most pleasant moments of life.

Using this algorithm, you can make other crafts from plastic pipes with your own hands: a creative shoe shelf, a sock keeper, a wine shelf. And if the cuts are made strictly horizontally, then you will get beautiful planters or flower vases.

Designer find - an armchair made of scraps of propylene pipes

A good owner will never lose anything. With a reasonable approach, every little thing will go into action, and through the efforts of a patient craftsman, amazing crafts from plastic pipes can turn out. With the help of the same knife and glue, a luxurious chair is easily made with your own hands.

In this case, pipe segments are cut to arbitrary lengths in large quantities. It is only important to observe the same dimensions of the longest supporting pieces.

Then the segments are glued along the length. The longest supporting pieces should be located at the same distance from one another. For armrests, the segments are prepared above those that make up the seat. And for the back you will need even longer ones.

It remains only to sew beautiful pillows and fill them with padding polyester or sheathe the foam parts of upholstered furniture with fabric.

Stool from scraps of polypropylene pipes

They say that the goal is cunning for fiction. This is the absolute truth! Only not a goal, but an economical person is able to invent something similar - to create amazing crafts from polypropylene pipes left after repair or construction, that is, practically from garbage. So, with his wise approach to life, he will never be naked.

For a stylish stool, you will need thin cut pipes of different lengths. Before work, you should make patterns according to paper drawings. Pipes with asymmetric bevels on both sides are cut along them and glued together along the length. The last cut is a reference, it will serve as a leg. Therefore, it is the longest and with a horizontal lower cut.

When all four side parts are assembled, they are fastened with corner trims. The bottom is assembled from short pieces with a horizontal cut at the top. The stool can be painted in any color, or you can leave it white - it all depends on the preferences of the master.

Fence flower beds or sandboxes

According to the same algorithm as chairs and stools are made, you can build other necessary things. It will be practically

Plastic pipes make excellent original fences in a summer cottage or in the courtyard of a country house. Moreover, you can use even the shortest trimmings of various lengths and thicknesses. They are fastened together along the length in the form of a miniature fence and dug around a flower bed or sandbox.

You can use glue to make such a creative fence. And it will be even more interesting if the trimmings are tied with wire, imitating a wattle fence.

Children's Corner

If you apply your imagination, you can create interesting crafts from polypropylene pipes that will delight your beloved children. Cool laptop stands and easels, canopies over a crib and playhouse frames are easy to assemble with fittings and tees.

You can strengthen the joints with additional glue, and cover the product with paint and varnish. And you can decorate the top of the craft with stickers or ornaments.

Greenhouse for summer cottage

It is difficult to list all the crafts made of plastic pvc pipes, handmade by master dreamers. But not to mention such a necessary and useful structure as a greenhouse is the height of imprudence.

For construction, you need to protect the allocated place with boards or bricks and dig pins around the perimeter. Their diameter should be slightly less than the pipes used.

Now you can start designing. Therefore, the next step is to fix the pipe sections on the pins in the form of arches. To do this, first, the ends of the pipes are put on the racks on both sides. Then you can additionally attach the pipe from below with a strip of tin to the perimeter of the fence.

You can add structural rigidity with the help of several pipes, which should be placed perpendicular to the arches. The intersections are crosswise tightened with wire or strong tow.

Now it remains only to stretch the film on the structure - and the greenhouse is almost ready.

Coffee table with curly legs. Master Class

Plastic pipe (PVC) crafts are amazing design work. For example, the original one with a glass top and curved legs will become a real attraction of the home.

Of course, first of all, you should carefully consider, calculate and draw all the details. future model crafts from plastic pipes. It is not difficult to build drawings with your own hands if the master has a skill in this regard. Otherwise, you can use the ready-made, which is offered here. Sizes are taken randomly.

The legs of this table are arched. To add rigidity to the pipe, you need to reinforce it. For these purposes, a strong wire is suitable. The master on the desktop draws a life-size shape of one arch and lays the first piece of pipe with a rod inside. Then he gives the arch the desired shape. The same should be done with the second segment. Although to give desired shape You can use a cardboard template.

Then, on the table, the shape of the holder arch is drawn, on which the tabletop will lie. Here, too, it is appropriate to use a template. Holders are made according to the algorithm described above.

It is best to connect the legs to the tabletop holders with tees. For greater fixation, you can coat the joints with glue or cement. The design, assembled from scraps of PVC pipes, is painted in the desired color. The glass can be glued to the holders to prevent it from slipping. Although it will be quite appropriate in this model.

In general, many other useful and beautiful things can be made from pieces of polypropylene pipes, you just have to think carefully and apply your manual skills and diligence.

Making crafts from PVC pipes is a very interesting activity! In the manufacture of such structures, pipes of different diameters themselves, various fittings for them, additional woven or tent materials are involved. The advantage of designs and crafts for a garden made of PVC pipes is their durability. They do not rot, they do not need to be painted, they are easily disassembled for winter storage. Materials can be fastened with clamps, also made from short pieces of PVC pipe.

This article presents ideas for various designs and crafts. In more detail, you can easily draw up a construction plan based on your specific idea and your capabilities.

Greenhouse and shelter for tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables

The first step is to determine the number of sections in the future greenhouse of pipes, calculate the total footage, prepare fittings (L-shaped, T-shaped and +-cross-shaped) and clips for fastening the film. Next, you need to cut the pipes into segments of a certain length. Now it remains only to connect them into a common design. The photo below shows this option.

Another version of the greenhouse design from the same pipes.

DIY PVC pipes for summer cottages

Pipes can be connected into a single structure using clamps, which are made from unnecessary pipe cuts.

Rack for herbs or seedlings

Every gardener knows how problematic it is to grow seedlings and then transport them. Boxes and containers take up a lot of space, there is no way to compactly fit them in transport (for example, by placing one box on top of another) without damaging the delicate greenery.

An excellent solution would be to use PVC pipes for these purposes. They are very easy to transport, fastened, for example, with ordinary tape. And if you think over a simple wooden structure that will support the pipes, green seedlings can be taken out into the air in early spring.

If you dream up a little, then this structure can also be used for planting flowers to decorate a summer cottage, or plant climbing plants in improvised containers.

Hanging structure for a gazebo, terrace or porch

Looking at the idea for implementation, everything becomes immediately clear: holes are drilled in the pipes for flowers or seedlings, and holes for fastening. The pipes are filled with earth, the side cuts are closed with pieces of plastic, which it is desirable to securely fix, for example, using glue.

ADVICE! In the lower part of the pipe, it is desirable to make small holes for the outflow of excess water from irrigation.

It remains only to assemble the structure using a strong cord or metal chain and hang it in a convenient place. The original option for small balconies or loggias. If necessary, pipes can be decorated, painted, glued with shells or fine gravel.

Individual flower beds

At any summer cottage, you can find places where grass or medicinal plants simply grow. Caring for flowers in such places is problematic, including due to weeds. An excellent solution would be short pipe cuts dug into the ground.

You can also paint them in bright colors (if there is no talent for drawing, stencils will come to the rescue), or randomly depict green foliage on the pipes so that the white color of the pipes does not stand out from the overall design.

Garden watering and outdoor shower

Watering a garden or lawn grass brings a lot of worries to summer residents. You can also solve this problem with PVC plastic pipes. It is enough to assemble any shape from them according to the size of the area necessary for irrigation (complex assembly forms are also possible, it all depends on skills and imagination). It remains only to connect the hose and the design will do all the work for you.

The holes in the pipes can be made both frequent and wide, for abundant watering, and rare and narrow, for areas with moderate watering.

If you make stands to install the structure in a vertical position. then you get an unusual summer shower.

Greenhouse for seedlings from PVC pipes

In a summer cottage, it is impossible to imagine life without a greenhouse, especially if a significant part of the site is reserved for a vegetable garden. Basically, summer residents use wooden beams to assemble a greenhouse.

Unlike wood, PVC pipes do not corrode and rot, the film on such a structure is stretched easily and evenly (and does not tear), does not require additional fastening. With the help of additional corners and figured transitions for bending the structure, it will not be difficult to assemble such a greenhouse even without special skills.
