I did this for my daughters Quinceanera. I used pool noodles on the top pole to add flowers. Came out so beautiful.

Do you know what size holes are in the pool noodles? I was wondering if these 1" pvc pipes would fit in them? Great idea though.

@@foxlover03 I slit the noodle length wise and set it snug on the pole. Secured it with zip ties. I used 2 noodles. Cut the flower stems and poked them into the noodles. It came out gorgeous

@@angelicagamboa299 yes exactly. The curtains then the pool noodle on top. It's a long floral arrangement that sits snug on the PVC.

Thank you so much! Your instructions were perfectly clear! I have a small business and there are times I don’t need my canopy tent but I still want my 8ft banner behind me for added signage and this was perfect! I cut my 2- 8ft poles in half and used a coupling to attach them so they could break down and easily fit in my Jetta. I like that your cuts gave us the options for either 2- 2ft “feet” or 1- 1ft and 1- 2ft “feet” depending on the venue and if we’re against a wall or not! And lastly it’s November 2023 and my total at Home Depot was $43 (including tax) Not bad at all! Thanks again!

I drew out plans for something like this and will be building it this weekend. Before I started, I thought "Someone must have done this before." So I checked KZfaq and found your wonderful detailed instructions. One variation I am going to try is to put a third cross piece on the floor between the legs, strapped across the rear facing legs. Also considering capping the pvc tubes and filling them with sand or gravel for weight. Hopefully this will increase the stability of the whole construction.

@veronicaplascencia9177 Жыл бұрын

Hi! Wondering if you added that rear piece, filled with sand, & how that worked? Did it increase stability?

One solution to added stability is to use 40 SCHEDULE PVC pipe which is thicker & stronger than what I used, which was only 20 Schedule. A center post also keeps it from sagging.

Thank you so much! I did this for my sister in laws baby shower and it was perfect! I was able to get everything from Lowe's, the total nowadays is around $60 now with the pipe cutter, even though Lowe's has on their website they cut pipe none of the employees could help me with that lol. So I had to buy the $13 pipe cutter! Overall though this was great and so easy to put together, I will be using it for my baby's bday next month and a bridal shower later this year!!
