Description
With a few simple fittings, common home-improvement-store PVC pipe can be treated much like building blocks. Learn to engineer it in new ways for DIY projects that prove useful indoors and outside.
Whether you're a homeowner, gardener, homesteader, prepper, or just a parent looking for some new toy ideas, the projects in The PVC Pipe Book give you plenty of options. Step-by-step instructions, parts lists, and photographs of completed projects make sure you will have fun and love the results of your work.
Projects range from simple creations like chicken feeders and waterers, to much more complex builds like a rolling workshop table.
Other projects include:
- Practical creations include a step-stool, toy bin, safety gate, and gardening caddy
 - Fun, fanciful ideas include a rocket launcher, water table, even soccer goals
 - Homestead projects include a pet washer, chicken feeder, birdhouse, and hanging herb garden
 
Marketing Plan
Key Selling Points: Make it on the cheap: Re-use remains a popular category for economic and environmental reasons. Some people simply love to find new uses for common materials. Fun projects that work: Just like the 5-Gallon Bucket Book, this book will feature fun, innovative projects written and built by a pro. Instructions and material lists to complete each project are provided, illustrated with commissioned photography. Tailor made for home improvement stores: Projects mine materials found in home improvement stores. In addition to PVC pipe, there is, of course, required tools and supplemental hardware found in other aisles.
