Master class "Greenhouse made of PVC pipes"
If you have a garden and a vegetable garden, you no doubt know that using a greenhouse as a place where certain plants can be is very important. Therefore, we will try to make such greenhouse conditions from PVC plastic pipes with our own hands.
Greenhouse made of arched PVC pipes For work, we need the following materials:
- PVC pipes with a diameter of 25mm.
- Tee and cross for our pipes. It is also worth stocking up on oblique tees.
- Armature, wooden board, metal strip.
- A hacksaw that is suitable for cutting wood or metal.
- Welding machine for plastic pipes.
- Screwdriver and screwdriver.
- Self-tapping screws, hammer, nails, tape measure and building level.
Work steps process
- First we need to take boards of the right size. The length is optional, the width is preferably about 20 cm. They will definitely need to be thoroughly soaked with an antiseptic.
- We install a rectangle of boards on the previously leveled ground, fixing it at the corners with reinforcement, which we drive into the ground. He must be correct form. We can check this using the diagonal of the inner rectangle.
- Next, we need to fix on the sides (those that are longer) pieces of reinforcement in such a way that we have 50-70 cm left on the surface of the earth. It is on them that the arcs will be attached.
- We divide the width of the base approximately in half, while marking the middle of the board with a marker. From it we must retreat 40 cm to each side, while we also hammer the board from the outside.
Pipe preparation and installation process
To get a full-fledged arc, we will need to weld two pieces of pipe. They should be approximately 30 cm each. In the middle we insert a cross. We fasten the outer parts with plastic tees.
The arcs are installed according to the principle of putting the end of the pipe on the reinforcement, which is located among the two long sides of the base.
The process of mounting the arc on the reinforcement Next is the installation of the central stiffener, which will keep the structure in balance. It is made from pieces of pipes 85 cm long. and welded in the middle between the cross and the central tee. Attaches directly to wooden base using screws and metal clamps.
The final step will be the process of creating doors and windows. You need to first think about where exactly it is best to place them. Usually, doors will be installed at the end of the greenhouse to allow ventilation. In the opposite part of the door, you can install a window.
View of the greenhouse from the middle The covering of the greenhouse from pipes can be polyethylene or polycarbonate. Basically, this kind of greenhouse will be used seasonally, as it is not quite suitable for all seasons.
It can be noted that the most popular size for an average greenhouse will be an option of approximately 3.82m. at 6.3m. It is optimal and functional in operation.
Summing up, it can be noted that there are a lot of interesting ideas related to crafts made from PVC plastic pipes. The main thing is to decide what exactly you need, and just try to do it yourself.

They make the simplest decorative things, beds, chairs and even greenhouses - the scope for imagination is huge, and we have collected only the most interesting ideas crafts made from plastic pipes that can serve as a guide to action or a source of inspiration.
Pipe connection methods
Plastic pipes are like designer parts. By combining segments of different lengths and connecting them at different angles, you can get anything: a beginner will be glad that he built the simplest hanger, and a professional will easily assemble bunk bed. The main thing is to be able to connect the pipes correctly, and then it will be possible to do any thing necessary in the household.
Plastic pipes are the collective name for water, sewer and heating pipes which are made from polymers. PVC and polypropylene pipes are in the greatest demand. Segments of different lengths and diameters remain after repair engineering networks in an apartment or in a country house, and, as a rule, they are cluttered in pantries, or rather cluttered, until enterprising craftsmen began to use them for other than their intended purpose. Plastic pipes are characterized by low weight, high strength and durability, they are easy to maintain and safe.
Polypropylene pipes are connected using a special welding machine. It is expensive - it is more profitable to rent it, and it will take a little time to learn how to work with it. You can use compression fittings to connect. In any case, the assembled product will be non-separable.
When it comes to plastic pipe crafts, usually refers to PVC pipes, which can connect with each other in the following ways:
- socket connection with rubber seal. Manufacturers supply socket pipes with a rubber seal located at the end, thanks to which the work on connecting pipes is carried out simply and quickly, and the joint is sealed. At the first stage, the socket of one pipe and the smooth part of the other are cleaned of dust and dirt. A chamfer is removed from the smooth end of the pipe (an angle of 15 degrees, chamfering cutters can be used) and a mark is applied indicating the depth to which the pipe will enter the socket. The sealing ring of the socket and the smooth part of the pipe are lubricated with a silicone compound and inserted one part into the other, focusing on the mark. For plumbing and sewerage, this is a good connection, but if you are assembling shelves or furniture, then it is not rigid enough. The main advantages: simplicity and the possibility of dismantling, therefore, such a connection is used for the construction of temporary buildings and things;
- adhesive connection. The ends of the pipes to be connected are chamfered (some just surface sandpaper), then marks are applied indicating the depth of the fitting. The ends of the pipes are degreased with methylene chloride, then the adhesive is applied with a brush to the pipe and inside the chamfer or socket. The pipe is inserted into the fitting (or socket), rotated ¼ turn for better distribution of the adhesive, then the elements can be pressed for 30-60 seconds. It is desirable to carry out all work quickly. The remaining glue is immediately removed, and the connection is allowed to dry for several hours. The process is more laborious, but the joint is more reliable;
- flange connection. Separate sections are connected using special fittings. Before performing work, the ends of the pipes are cleaned. A flange is put on the cut, then a rubber gasket, onto which the flange is pushed. The elements are connected by means of bolts with a counter flange. Then the bolts are evenly tightened, due to which the alignment of the flanges is achieved. The connection is reliable, the design is collapsible.
When the technology of connecting plastic pipes is mastered, we can assume that almost any craft can be done. It is only important to draw a sketch in advance or make a drawing, and correctly calculate the length of all segments. You can build anything from such parts - we will list only some ideas for crafts from plastic pipes with our own hands.
No. 1. Organizer
The most unpretentious way to use the remains of plastic pipes. You can take pipes of small and medium diameter, even segments of small length will fit. The first option is a mobile organizer. It is enough to cut segments of different heights and glue them together in an arbitrary order or following some pattern (for example, one higher segment in the center, the rest around it). This stand is great for storage. stationery near the desktop or to organize all kinds of carnations, bolts and other fasteners in the workshop. 
The second option is stationary. On the one hand, the pipe must be cut at an angle (the most popular option is 45 degrees, but it can be less if small elements are stored). Then the cut elements are attached to a vertical surface using self-tapping screws. You can mount the organizer elements on a wall or a specially installed board.
No. 2. Decorative frame or partition
Thin rings, which are easy to obtain when cutting plastic pipes, are a versatile material for creating decor. You can use pipes of different diameters - it's even more interesting. Plastic rings make a wonderful frame. It is enough to draw a layout of the future product on paper in advance and glue individual rings directly on it. From them you can get both a strict symmetrical pattern, and something chaotic. If you then paint it, then such a frame for a mirror or a picture can hardly be called a simple craft - it will be a cool designer thing. 
Similarly, you can get a decorative partition. Gluing, of course, will take a little longer, but the effort is worth it. The partition will look very interesting, weigh a little and come in handy, for example, to delimit zones in the bathroom.
No. 3. Shoe rack and wine bottle holder
For a shoebox for the hallway, it is not necessary to go to furniture store if the farm is littered with scraps of a large-diameter plastic pipe. They must be cut into elements about 25-30 cm long (so that shoes of any size are guaranteed to fit) and connected to each other with glue or self-tapping screws. There can be as many sections in such an impromptu shoe rack, but in any case, the shelf will not take up much space, and at the same time it will be very roomy and original. The assembled product can be attached to the wall with self-tapping screws or first glued to a plywood sheet, and then fixed to the wall. 
In a similar way, you can create towel rack in the bathroom. If you reduce the scale a little, you get a wonderful bottle holder– wine lovers will appreciate it.
If there are remnants of pipes of a very large diameter, then feel free to attach several of these rings in the bathroom - you will get nice shelves for all bath towels.
No. 4. Vases and flower pots
For transplanting or propagating indoor flowers, trimmed sewer pipes of medium diameter are perfect. If you decorate them with stickers or decorate them with paints, you will get very pretty pots. 
Pipes of minimum diameter can be used as long stylish vases for artificial flowers and dried flowers. For decoration, you can use stickers or decoupage technique. On a plywood stand with pre-prepared recesses, you can install a whole composition of such vases, and elements of different heights look better. 
No. 5. Shelves and stands
It is not difficult to make a small shelf or stand from plastic pipes, but it will be necessary to connect individual segments. First you need to decide on the size and shape of the future shelf. It is necessary to take into account not only the features of the interior, but also the quantity available material. Often bookshelves make snake-like - they are somewhat reminiscent of traditional heated towel rails. This craft is perfect for storing books and photo albums. 
Making a flower stand will require a little more time and effort, because it will be necessary to securely connect the legs together and figure out what material to make the countertop from. Usually, unnecessary pieces of plywood, chipboard or wood are used for this purpose. The material is given a certain shape and attached to a plastic base. 
No. 6. Coffee table
The coffee table is made in the same way as the flower stand, only it has a larger size, so you will also need more legs and partitions between them. Think carefully about the size and design of the future piece of furniture, do not forget to depict everything on paper. On top of the plastic frame, as a rule, a glass tabletop is attached. 
Turn on your imagination and look for non-trivial approaches. For example, the base for a table may not be a typical frame with legs and partitions, but a lot of pipe sections of different diameters glued together. Even better if the pipes are of different heights. In this case, you don’t even have to master the nuances of the correct connection of PVC pipes. 
No. 7. Clothes hanger
From pipe sections, you can assemble several options for hangers:
There are a lot of options to organize the storage of clothes using plastic pipes, and all these crafts are quite simple to implement. 
No. 8. Rack for living room, hallway, pantry
By connecting several pipe sections in the required order, you can get a practical and inexpensive rack that will fully satisfy your needs in terms of size, shape and configuration. It can be both quite modest in size, and a real giant. If the rack is located in the living room, then the pipes can be painted, and glass or plywood can be used as countertops. When it comes to a pantry or a workshop, there is no particular need for decoration. 
No. 9. Football goal
If country cottage area has a place for children's games, you can build a small football goal. Only a few connections will need to be made, but before that, of course, everything will have to be carefully calculated and measured. When the frame is ready, a mesh is put on it, and the gate is ready. When the kids grow up, the product can be disassembled, and the pipes can be reused to create other crafts. 
In this way, you can make a small children's house for games. We all once loved to build huts, gather there with a company and play. It was especially cozy and mysterious. The frame for the house of pipes is made elementary. Children will only have to throw a thick fabric over it and enjoy their own little castle. 
No. 10. Arena for children
There is nothing complicated in the design of the playpen. Nevertheless, ready product the store is expensive. A budget alternative is available to those who have a decent amount of plastic pipes in stock, the time and desire to learn how to connect individual segments into a single structure. For manufacturing, you will need a lot of pipes, so home craftsmen advise you to just buy them in a store - it will still turn out cheaper than a ready-made arena, and the pipes can then be reused. 
After the arena scheme has been created with an indication of its dimensions, pipes are cut. Vertical partitions are interconnected by short horizontal sections of pipes at the top and bottom. However, variations are possible in the design of the arena. 
No. 11. Chairs made of plastic pipes
Here you will need already confident skills in connecting individual pipe sections. Depending on your desire and degree of preparation, you can make a simple children's stool, as well as a comfortable chair for adults, or even an armchair. After the frame is ready, the seat is made. It can be woven from thread, rope, or use a dense fabric. Then on top you can put soft pillows. Having mastered the manufacturing technique, it will be possible to build almost all the furniture for a summer residence. 
No. 12. bunk bed
Yes, it is quite possible to assemble a frame for a bunk bed from ordinary plastic pipes. Not only supporting elements are made of pipes, but also a ladder, and, of course, lamellas for a mattress. The level of complexity here is increased, it is better to take up the work for those who have already tried their hand at making simpler crafts. Do not neglect drawing up a drawing and scrupulous measurements.
A bed made in this way will be a real find for a country house small area, because not everyone can afford to buy a ready-made bunk bed for the dacha, but somehow it is necessary to solve the problem of placement. 
No. 13. garden arch
How beautiful the arches entwined with plants and flowers look in the garden. The main difficulty in making a garden arch from plastic pipes is that individual segments will have to be bent. The easiest way to give the desired shape to the pipes using gas burner. A separate section is heated to a state where the material will succumb to deformation, then it is given the necessary shape. Someone decides not to bother and just connect several pipe sections at an angle. Then the upper part of the arch will resemble a trapezoid or a polygon in shape. Between the two arched vaults, horizontal elements are attached so that in the future the arch will be as much as possible covered with greenery. Do not forget to securely fix the structure in the soil. 
No. 14. Alcove
Constructing a gazebo out of plastic pipes is much easier than anyone can imagine. If you take long enough segments, then you don’t even have to connect anything. Two pipes of the required length are arched and fixed to the ground. The distance between the elements of the future frame should be such that a dining table or other pieces of garden furniture can fit. It remains only to stretch the dense awning fabric, and you're done.
The design of the gazebo may be slightly different, resembling a house in shape. In this case, you will have to connect individual elements. 
No. 15. carport
The design itself is simple, but the difficulties can be associated with a decent size of the canopy, because it must be wide and high enough so that the car can safely hide under it. The frame is assembled with special care, fastened to the ground and to the adjacent wall, if any, covered with a dense awning fabric on top, which will protect the car from the scorching sun and rain. To call this product a handicraft, even the tongue does not turn - this is already a small architectural form. 
No. 16. Greenhouse
A small greenhouse is done elementarily. You will need a few pipes, there will also not be very many connections. After the frame is assembled and fixed in the ground, all that remains is to cover it with a film or agrofibre. It will be possible to make such a greenhouse in just a couple of hours, and the benefits from it will be enormous. 
No. 17. Greenhouse made of plastic pipes
Building a full-fledged greenhouse, of course, is more difficult than a greenhouse. It will take a lot more material, and it will take a lot of time. The size of the greenhouse can be almost any. The procedure is as follows:
From pipes, you can make a frame for a greenhouse of almost any shape, but the arched one remains the most preferable. 
No. 18. seedling containers
If everyone in the country square meter on the account, it's time to implement the idea of vertical gardens. Thus, it is convenient to grow greens and some berries. Excellent containers will come out of scraps of plastic sewer pipes if you cut holes in them in advance with a jigsaw for seedlings and outflow of excess water. It remains only to fill the soil containers and place the vertical beds one above the other. You can attach them again to the stand of plastic pipes. Some connect the beds with ropes and hang them from the wall - there are many options. 
Long lengths of sewer pipes are useful for growing garden strawberries. They will stand upright like columns. Holes for plants are prepared in advance in them, and pipes of smaller diameter are laid inside. Thanks to the small holes in the latter, water will freely flow to the seedlings. 
No. 19. Feeder for chickens
Anyone who builds a chicken coop in a barn in the country is well aware of the problem when birds scatter food from the feeder. If several sewer pipes with a characteristic bend at the end are vertically fixed in the chicken coop, then it will be possible to add grain to the birds without going into the barn. Moreover, they will no longer be able to sprinkle chicken feed, which means that it will be cleaner in the chicken coop, and there is a decent saving on grain. 
No. 20. drip irrigation system
Such a craft will greatly simplify lawn care, and everything is very simple to do. Several pipe sections must be connected in the form of a square, lattice, or in any other way. In the finished structure, it is important to make a sufficient number of small holes, connect a watering hose to the resulting system - and a mobile system drip irrigation ready. 
An open shower is done in the same way. A cube or parallelepiped of sufficient height is assembled from pipe segments, many small holes are made in the upper part and water is supplied through a hose. As a result, it turns out perfect place for summer vacation.
No. 21. Fencing for the site
We note right away that a lot of pipes will be needed, but in the end a rather nice and durable fence will come out, which will not need to be painted every year, because plastic does not rot and does not rust. You will have to work on numerous connections, and a pre-prepared sketch will greatly simplify the process. Of course, such a fence will only perform a delimiting function - it will not provide protection from intruders and uninvited guests. 
No. 22. Fixtures
If the hands grow from the right place, then you can make a techno-style designer lamp out of pipes. The product can resemble a man, an animal, be floor or desktop - there are a lot of options, and they are limited only by your imagination. The difficulty in this case lies not only in the huge number of connections, but also the need to attach a bulb holder and connect power, so you can take on the job if you have minimal skills in working with electrical and lighting equipment. 
However, it is not at all necessary to make a lot of pipe connections. You can take segments of different lengths and diameters, make a nice system of holes in them, install a lamp (or even garlands) inside, and as a result you will get a very stylish piece of furniture. 
Other ideas
List all possible options crafts from plastic pipes can be infinitely long. Here are some more ideas for inspiration:
- rod stand;
- woodcutter;
- cart;
- parking space for bicycles;
- bar counter;
- cornice;
- children's swing.
Unless the car can not be made from a plastic pipe - everything else is quite possible. The main thing is that fantasy works and there is a desire to achieve results. 
After carrying out any repair or construction work, some surplus materials, fasteners and other building elements always remain, however, they should not be thrown away at all. In this material, we will tell you what can be done from a plastic pipe left after installing a sewer or water pipe, if you put some imagination and a little work into the matter, as well as some useful ideas.
In what areas have PVC pipe cuttings been used?
For those who were engaged in laying and installing a water supply system from PVC pipes on their own, it became quite obvious that the process of fastening such segments is quite simple. Moreover, you can create practical and necessary crafts from PVC pipes, which will not differ in functionality from traditional ones, but they will have a modern and original design.
Even if you don’t have special woodworking equipment at your disposal, but have a fairly broad imagination, armed with a plastic cutting tool, glue and fastener links, you can create very useful device. And if the resulting frame is ennobled with some other materials, then you can get, for example, beautiful and comfortable furniture.
In particular, to make a light chair, you need to cover the frame with fabric, and if you need to hang a shelf, you will need brackets. Be that as it may, crafts made from propylene pipes will cost you much cheaper than factory-made products.
Any homemade products PVC pipes fall into one of these categories:
- solid - they are securely fixed with bolts and adhesive composition;
- folding ones are a kind of constructs, which, if necessary, can be disassembled and assembled independently.
collapsible homemade devices PVC pipes are often classified as seasonal items. In principle, it can be any product - from folding chairs, garden tools and decor, to arbors-canopies, which can be used in the summer time of a country or country holiday and disassembled for storage for the winter.
If you take ready-made ideas into service, you can get quite presentable homemade products from polypropylene pipes with your own hands. They are not only practical and beautiful, but also durable, and do not pose a threat to human health and environment.
It should also be noted that, due to the availability of plastic pipes, in the event of a breakdown or defect in the product, the damaged fragment can always be replaced with a new one of the same diameter. In any case, such repairs will cost less than buying new furniture.
Manufacturing country handicrafts from plastic pipes has many positive aspects:
- plastic does not need regular staining, although it is quite possible to decorate it with color;
- disassembled, home-made structures are very compact - for example, a carport or a children's bed will neatly fit on a balcony or in a closet until spring;
- when heated, the polypropylene profile does not emit toxic substances, so that it can be successfully used in the country in the summer;
- products made from this material have a sufficiently high level of strength;
- thanks to the variety of sizes of plastic pipes, it is possible to produce the most various crafts, and fasteners - couplings, fittings - can always be found on sale;
- do-it-yourself sewer pipe crafts are not only room for imagination and skill, but also the opportunity to create unique items for gifts to family and friends.
Of course, many children and adults will like original children's furniture, such as small chairs or even quite full-fledged chairs. In the country, such products will organically fit into the surroundings, because they are beautiful and light, easy to use. A do-it-yourself hanger made of PVC pipes, or a shelf for dishes, indoor flowers or books, will only complement the resulting interior.
The characteristics of polypropylene pipes allow them to be used not only for plumbing or sewerage, but also for the manufacture of seemingly unexpected items. So, by combining several pieces of the profile, an electric cartridge and a cord, you can make a beautiful lamp.
From white PVC pipes, you will get such types of lamps as:
- floor lamps;
- desk lamp;
- chandeliers with lampshades.
