If you look at the surrounding objects in more detail and add a little of your own imagination, then everyone can turn into something interesting and unusual. PVC pipes were no exception.

Screen from plastic pipes DIY is one of the most common options for using old or defective PVC pipes. In everyday life, such products are used for arranging sewer, heating and water supply systems, but when the right approach, they can be used in another way. If a craftsman gets to work, the pipes will transform into amazing things.

Decorative partitions are usually used to delimit large rooms into separate zones or to hide certain areas of the room from prying eyes. Designs such as screens made of plastic pipes, which you can make yourself, have been used since ancient times.

Screens can be mobile, stationary, transparent and compact. A variety of materials can be used to make them, which can come in different shapes and sizes. If you have a significant budget, partitions can be decorated with precious items and rare materials.

Screen made of PVC pipes

It was these designs that were used in the arrangement of rich houses during the Roman Empire, Egypt, Greece and China. For their manufacture, it is recommended to use lightweight materials that will make the decorative element mobile.

Modern businessmen even make partitions from plastic pipes with their own hands. Besides special costs You won’t need it, just a little free time and the desire to create.

There are several types of modern screens, and they will be used depending on the type of structure used, its purpose and the available material. The overall style of the room is also taken into account.

By functional purpose they are distinguished:

	Description
Transparent	They are a strong frame around the perimeter of which fabric or any other material is stretched. It is even possible to use gauze that is pre-starched. Openwork wooden or metal models are used somewhat less frequently.
Deaf	Such models have many valves, but their characteristic features include opacity. In this case, a board, durable and dense material, cardboard can be used.
Flexible	In this case, you will need thin and long sections that will be connected to each other. In the end it will work out monolithic wall. If the material is flexible, then the screen can be installed in the form of a spiral, roll or wave.
Screens in the form of a book	The sashes can be either the same or different widths. If desired, the doors are folded into a compact book and moved to another place. They are distinguished by their mobility, so they can be used as a place for changing clothes or in photo shoots.
Single screen designs	They have one, but fairly wide sash, which will be presented in the form of a durable frame, which will be covered with paper, fabric or any other material at hand. It is recommended to install wheels for more convenient movement.
Sliding structures with doors	Such partitions have been used since time immemorial, and until recently they were the only way to delimit the available space. A rigid frame was made over which dense fabric was stretched. Several frames were made, but no more than ten. If necessary, such structures can be easily assembled and moved. A little later, the metal was replaced by a lighter one - aluminum.

Plastic pipes vaguely resemble individual elements of a large construction set. With the correct combination of individual segments ( different angles and connections), you can assemble almost any structure. For starters, you can try your hand at creating a small clothes rack, and some people manage to build durable bunk beds. The main thing here is to make the correct connection, which will allow you to create almost any piece of furniture and modern interior.

Polymer pipes are used in the construction of heating, plumbing and sewer systems, for the manufacture of which polymers are used. Polypropylene and PVC pipes are in greatest demand.

After the next repair, small sections of such pipes often remain at the dacha and lie in storage rooms or garages for a long time. Craftsmen have found worthy use for them, and thanks to their high strength, reliability and low weight, they are completely safe and durable. To connect polypropylene products you will need special equipment - a welding machine. If not, then you should think about renting. Fittings can also serve as connections, but such products will not be dismountable.

If desired, the frame of the structure can be easily repainted and the canvas replaced. If the screen is used in the bedroom, then as an interesting and unusual idea you can use translucent fabric and install lighting at its base. Thus, during the process of changing clothes, the person will not be visible, and only the material will be highlighted. The screen can also be used as a dressing room.

Instructions on how to make a screen from PVC pipes

You can find out more about the process of making a screen from PVC pipes with your own hands in video:

Decorative partitions (screens) have been used since ancient times. But to enjoy such a product, you don’t have to buy it in finished form. You just need to know how to do everything correctly and quickly.

Types of structures

It's appropriate to start a conversation with traditional Japanese screen. This style is suitable for any home designed in the appropriate spirit. Byobu (this is what they call their classic partition in Japan) is often decorated with paintings on both sides. The image is designed in such a way that it is comfortable to study while sitting on the floor. This design is great for limiting a secluded space.

It is more difficult to imitate Indian screens. They use precious teak wood and other elite tree species.

Later in Europe, partitions were changed according to the dominant style. This is how performances in the spirit appeared:

• classicism;
• baroque;
• modern;
• Provence;
• hi-tech.

People often use folding (or rather, sliding folding) screens. They are formed by several connected frames, usually 3-8 of them. Sometimes there are more frames. This design folds like an accordion and is removed as needed. Single-screen screens (which have only one wide flap) are also quite widely used.

The material inside the sash is selected at your discretion. Most often, the product is equipped with wheels, making it easier to roll to the right place. A “book” type structure is formed by a pair of identically sized sashes. But some modifications may be slightly asymmetrical.

The “book” is useful for changing clothes and for formal or home photo shoots.

Flexible screens deserve attention. For them, a lot of long, but differing in small thickness, sections are made. Such sections are created from slats, pipes, and plates. It will be possible to put ready product in the manner of a spiral or even a roll. This, of course, also makes storage and transportation easier.

A blind screen is made from a different number of sashes. But in any case they are completely opaque. This is very convenient for various kinds delicate matters, for example, changing clothes. However, as a partition in a room, a blank screen turns out to be very good.

There are also transparent versions– they are used mainly for decoration and in amateur (and professional too) photography.

What materials can it be made from?

A real classic is the wooden screen. Now it is no longer possible to establish what the very first structure of this kind in history was made of. But there is no doubt that wood is traditional and has been used since ancient times. Along with monolithic boards, partitions in the past were also made from slats. In the second case, fabric of various types was pulled over them - whatever was at hand and whatever they liked.

Today, wooden screens are still in demand, and their main types are still the same. But, along with simple slats, timber is used quite often. Plywood structures have also gained considerable popularity because they:

• allows you to save money;
• weighs relatively little;
• processed without any problems.

Design developments do not stand still. AND V Lately screens from louvered doors (and just unnecessary wooden doors). They usually still contain fairly good quality wood, but the structure itself becomes morally or technically obsolete.

Screens with a wooden base are installed both in houses and on the street. In addition to the frames themselves, they are used different kinds decorative panels, significantly improving the appearance.

But some home craftsmen try to use metal (usually stainless steel or aluminum). In this case, you will need a frame of a certain shape. Any experienced welder can make it, although sometimes it is better to contact a metalworking company. The following is inserted inside the frame:

• wooden panels;
• sheet glass;
• plastic.

Important: you should avoid using sheet iron, which looks bulky and deprives the room of comfort. It is much better to use a complex ornament made of forged rods.

Instead, small pipes (up to 5 cm in diameter) are also suitable. Tubular screens are widely used in gardens and courtyards. Regardless of the shape of the frame, it should be covered with elegant fabric or paper with an original image.

Important: paper is used only when the screen is placed indoors or at least under a canopy. In any open place the first rain will destroy it.

If you choose a high-tech style, then it is logical to use a steel screen for blinds to frame it with your own hands. But those who want to simplify their work as much as possible should abandon metal and focus on PVC. Pipes made of this material are quite light and, in addition, practical.

You can also use it in your work:

• cardboard;
• polymer panels;
• cane;
• willow or bamboo branches;
• CDs or vinyl records.

Required Tools

Most often it is enough for work such a set of tools:

• drill;
• screwdriver;
• special stapler;
• roulette;
• marker;
• wood saw;
• metal saw;
• sandpaper of any grade;
• paints (varnishes) and brushes for applying them.

Manufacturing instructions

Let's consider options for making screens from various materials.

Made of wood

Making a wooden screen for your dacha yourself is quite simple. The classic version of this product is assembled from fabric and a wooden base. The material is simply pulled onto the frame. By varying the specific design and color of the canvas, it is easy to adapt a “homemade” product for any room. To work with timber, along with the tools listed above, you will need a dozen more door hinges, 96 screws, durable and beautiful material, universal glue, decor of your choice.

You can make a full-size screen using 24 bars, 6 cm wide and 2 cm thick. Half of the bars should have a length of 1.7 m, and the other half should have a length of 0.6 m. Lines are drawn on the planks 6 cm from the edge and the excess is sawed off exactly along the marks.

Important: the cuts should reach exactly half the width of the planks - no less and no more.

The next step in making a homemade room screen is to make notches along the edges of the slats using a chisel. The wood is removed layer by layer, right down to the cuts. The inside of the grooves is covered with glue. After assembling them into a single frame, the entire workpiece is pressed tightly. Only after the glue has completely set can you continue working.

When sanding wood with emery, pay special attention to all joints. Next, use varnish. Please note: regardless of the number of leaves, ordinary steel corners can be used instead of door hinges. The fasteners are fixed with a screwdriver. After this, all that remains is to decorate the screen with fabric, choosing it at your discretion.

Be sure to make a pattern; in addition to the dimensions of the frames, they also take into account kinks and difficult places. The use of multi-colored and heterogeneous fabrics is allowed. In order not to sew it with your own hands and a needle, it is better to use sewing machine. It will also help stitch the edges. Attaching the material to the frames is done with a construction stapler from top to bottom; At the same time, they carefully ensure that everything is tensioned perfectly.

The sidewalls are worked on after attaching the fabric at the top and bottom. When this is ready, two loops or corners for each connection are connected to the parts of the screen. This is the amount of fasteners that is considered optimal for the convenience of folding the partition.

Attention: when choosing fabric, take into account the style of the room. The wood should be selected as carefully as possible so that there are no even small defects.

From cardboard

But if you need to make a screen for the bedroom yourself, then it is better to use cardboard. A mobile modular partition will not externally overload the space. It is enough to cut out any parts you like according to the diagram and fasten them into a single fabric. If necessary, such a screen can be easily remade at your discretion.

Parts can be fastened not only straight or at an angle, but also in a wave-like manner. The only negative: they are completely unsuitable for the street; they can deteriorate from moisture, wind and sun.

For a serious screen on large area(in the office or in all rooms of the house at once) use binding cardboard, corrugated cardboard. The color of the source material does not matter. High-density cardboard is used for the supporting part.

Another option is to use a box from a TV, refrigerator or washing machine. Then the sides are cut off and the place where the first and fourth edges meet is removed. The second of the three seams of the rectangle is bent in the opposite direction to ensure the rigidity of the screen when unfolded.

From plastic pipes

Creating a screen from PVC and polypropylene pipes does not have any significant differences. These can be any pipes - heating, water supply, sewer - as long as they are durable. Such products are suitable for mobile and fixed, transparent and opaque partitions. The transparent option involves fastening the pipes together and stretching a light material over them. Sometimes they even use starched gauze.

Pipes can be connected using flanges, that is, fittings. Before starting work, the edges must be cleaned. Having placed the fittings on the cuts, put on a gasket with a rubber layer inside, and the flanges are already pulled onto this gasket. Sometimes counter bolts and counter flanges are used.

Important: All fasteners must be tightened uniformly, otherwise the fittings will not line up. If necessary, the structure can be easily disassembled. But when assembled, it is extremely stable.

An alternative is to glue the pipes together. All connected elements are freed from chamfers and then covered with special marks. From the markings it is easy to understand to what depth to screw the flange. Of course, 100% of the parts are degreased. Glue is applied to a clean surface from the inside of the socket, to the chamfers and pipes. Then the pipes are inserted into sockets or fittings, turned ¼ turn and clamped for 60 seconds.

Attention: all these manipulations must be performed as quickly and carefully as possible; any excess glue is removed immediately. The glue will dry in a few hours. Despite the labor intensity, this method of creating a frame is slightly more reliable than the previous method.

There is another option - using rubber seal. It is available at the end of any socket. The rubber seal allows you to connect pipes quickly, easily and completely airtight.

Surfaces need to be cleaned as best as possible. On a smooth area, get rid of the chamfer. Then they make a mark showing how deep the pipe will go into the socket. All smooth areas are coated with silicone. Next, the structure is assembled. Despite the simplicity and ease of dismantling, such a product will not be particularly durable.

If the screen is made with wheels, they are attached to self-tapping screws. It is advisable to use a weighting agent that is placed at the bottom of the base. It must be secured with screws and holders. Flanges for inserting pipes are placed on top. Above the horizontal pipe there are several more vertical elements; Once assembly is complete, the structure is often painted.

An interesting option is plastic screens made from pipes cut into rings.

Important: whenever possible, it is better to cut pipes to size using special machines. The width of the plastic screens is approximately 5 cm. If it should be smaller for some reason, you will need to work with a handy tool. It is recommended to mark the surface every 5 cm. The workpieces are clamped in a vice and cut with a handsaw.

Important: the paper is removed immediately, otherwise it will be impossible to remove it. The rings are connected with glue; Before this, the blanks are laid out on the floor so that you can clearly see what is connected to what and in what order.

The rings must be placed from larger to smaller; the pattern is selected to your liking. The edges are usually straightened, but they can also be curved. Of course, all this is thought out in advance. In addition to their structural role, rings are suitable for storing small items. The screen itself is made both mobile and fixed to the wall.

Alternative option plastic screen consists of the following parts:

• set of wheels for furniture;
• steel pipe as a weighting material;
• pipes to the frame;
• paints and brushes;
• fasteners;
• flanges;
• board.

The frame is assembled in the same way as in other options. Attention must be paid to choosing a good paint. Before applying it, all surfaces are degreased and cleaned. All metal parts coated with anti-corrosion protection. The finished structure is easy to repaint.

You can make a variety of crafts and many useful things from the simplest and most affordable material, for example, plastic pipes. They can be purchased in specialized stores. Many owners have them left after repairs and lie idle in the barn. Therefore, you can safely take them out and start creating. And from our article you will learn original ideas for crafts from pipes.

Plastic pipes for crafts: advantages

Plastic pipes allow you to create excellent prefabricated and collapsible structures. They can be used in an apartment or in a country house. Crafts for children will also look great.

The advantages of this material are as follows:

• possibility of use without preliminary painting or with additional surface decoration;
• compactness of the created collapsible structures;
• non-toxic when heated;
• high strength and rigidity of parts;
• possibility of creating various designs using connecting elements - couplings and fittings.

Using simple material, you can create original products and delight your friends and loved ones with a gift.

Methods for fastening workpieces

If you are interested in the question of how to do interesting craft do it yourself, then to give plastic products the desired shape you should stock up on a certain set of tools. You will need a gas torch, metal saw or jigsaw. Homemade products can be solid, connected using adhesive and bolts, or dismountable.

Can be used to connect sockets with a seal. However, this requires a lot of time and effort, but the connection is unlikely to be sufficiently rigid.

If you still decide to use this method, the pipes must be cleaned of contamination at the future connection points. The edge of the pipe that will be inserted should be coated with lubricant. When the pipe enters completely into the socket, it must be pushed back a little. This will allow the structure to be disassembled in the future.

Using glue helps make the structure more durable. The parts are first sanded at the connection points, followed by thorough degreasing. Glue must be applied to both sides of the fastening - both internal and external. When joining, the pipe is inserted tightly until it stops, and then a quarter turn is made. After this, reliable bonding should be ensured by tightly fitting the parts.

The option with fastening with bolts will be very labor-intensive, as can be seen in the photo of crafts made from plastic pipes. The craftsman will need to mark the locations for drilling holes and use a drill in the work. There is no need to glue, and the connections will be very strong.

Products for home and apartment

To make wonderful accessories for your apartment, you don’t need detailed instructions for crafts from plastic pipes. All you need is the ability to work with tools and imagination.

If you make many cuts of wide plastic pipes and then fasten them together, you can create convenient sections for shoes. The length of the blanks should correspond to the size of the shoes of your household members. Of course, you can make shelves with short bars so that the heel of the shoe hangs down.

But designs that match the dimensions of shoes and boots look more convenient. The cells can be secured with couplings with glue, self-tapping screws or bolts. Cells for storing wine bottles in a cellar are made using a similar principle.

By connecting plastic pipes vertically, you can create a good hanger. Pipes inserted into the tee will be used as clothing holders. And for rigidity of fastening inside vertical design It is advisable to insert a wooden holder or a metal rod.

Wide-diameter pipes can be used in arranging colored flowerpots, and medium-sized pieces are suitable for vases. By pasting colorful pictures or photographs on such products, you can decorate them perfectly. From short scraps they construct original lamps on the desktop or floor lamps.

If you fasten the parts with the end cut at an angle of 45 degrees, to wooden base, attached to the wall, you get stands for pens and pencils. By placing the cylinders vertically, you will create an excellent base for your tools. And, of course, a laptop stand secured with special fittings will look great.

In the bathroom, a piece of pipe with three outlets is suitable for use as a holder for a hair dryer. If you fix the cylinders on the cabinet door, you can insert other devices into them, for example, combs and curling irons.

There is also a place for these homemade samples in the kitchen, which you can learn about by studying the master class on crafts made from plastic pipes. Firstly, these are original containers for storing forks, spoons and knives. And secondly, cylindrical part Can be used as a glass holder. You just need to take a pipe with a length of 0.5 m and make a longitudinal cut through one side. You can insert the stems of glasses into it. And the pipe itself can be attached to the ceiling or hanging cabinet.

Products for children

There are also a variety of crafts made from plastic pipes for children. What can you offer to little family members:

• Spacious playpen.
• Children's swing in the yard.
• Lightweight and mobile sled.
• Goal for playing football.
• Frame for a spacious house.
• Summer shower at the dacha.
• Screen for theatrical productions.
• A fence for the baby's crib and a fence that restricts the baby's exit from the room.

Children will also be delighted to have an impromptu closet for storing toys. A compact table and chairs and plastic pipes will fit perfectly into the interior of a children's room. Children will be able to eat their own food or organize gatherings for the dolls.

Arrangement of the dacha

Crafts made from plastic pipes for the dacha and garden are also popular. IN country house interior A lightweight and mobile clothes dryer will fit. In sunny weather, you can take it out into the garden, and when it starts to rain, you can bring it under the canopy. The frame for garden furniture will be durable.

You can make a comfortable chair or chaise longue and cover it with durable fabric. Give the required form blanks in the manufacture, for example, of a chair, can be done using a gas burner. The pipe heats up and bends under the right angle. Then it should be left to cool for a while.

You can decorate your terrace or gazebo with a variety of panels. The pipes must be cut into shallow rings, secured with glue and hung on the wall. Partitions are constructed in a similar way, making it possible to separate functional areas into country house or in the garden.

Gardening enthusiasts can create flowerpots or vertical beds. By installing a fence made of pipes and planting climbing plants near it, after a while you can get a hedge near your house.

If you connect the pipes together around the perimeter, you get a pen for pets. And the sewer pipes themselves act as excellent feeders, the construction of which does not require much time.

There are other options for using plastic blanks:

• construction of a light gazebo;
• arrangement of a carport;
• installation of bicycle holders.

Using the simplest material - plastic pipes, you can create comfortable, very useful items and accessories for home and garden. Such homemade products will delight both adults and children.

Before starting the main work, it is necessary to prepare all the parts used. It will be very unpleasant if at the most crucial moment one of the pipe parts or finishing material is missing.

In order to create a simple screen from plastic pipes, you will need:

Advice! For all Supplies It is always worth making calculations taking into account a 10% margin. This will greatly help in case of damage to parts or inaccurate calculations.

Preparing and assembling the screen

Having prepared all the necessary materials and tools, you can begin assembling the structure. If the plastic pipes were not cut in advance, this must be done before starting assembly.

Connection of plastic pipes

The height of each section depends on the purpose of the screen, but there is no need to make it much larger than the child’s height. To assemble one section you will need:

• Two identical pipes that determine the height.
• Two pipes of the same length, defining the width of the section.
• Four plastic corner for connecting PVC pipes.

Cold or hot welding methods can be used to connect the structure. If you have at your disposal a special apparatus for heating polyvinyl chloride pipes, then it is worth using it. Otherwise, you need to purchase glue for connecting PVC pipes from a specialized store. This glue melts for a short period of time the section of the pipe to which it was applied, allowing you to quickly connect the parts.

The complete process of assembling one section of the screen will look like this:

More detailed information on how to independently connect PVC pipes using cold welding can be found in this video:

Attention! If hot welding is used instead of glue, then the differences will only be in the method of heating the plastic parts. To do this, you should use a special soldering iron, which simultaneously melts the parts of the structure to be connected.

Connecting sections to each other

After all parts of the screen have been adjusted to size and assembled, it is necessary to fasten them into a common structure. To do this, you can use double fasteners for plastic pipes, and if they are missing, fastening can be done with plastic clamps.

In both cases, the screen doors will be movable, which will allow it to be conveniently moved and installed in rooms of various sizes.

Decor

To designate the enclosed space, you will need to sew covers for the plastic screen. The choice of design depends entirely on personal preference, so feel free to use your imagination completely.

For example, for holidays and other significant events it is worth preparing the appropriate design of the fabric. You can involve children in this process so that they themselves can suggest some ideas for decorating such a screen.

To secure the fabric along its perimeter, fabric strips of the required length are sewn or fastened with Velcro. This will allow you to change the design at any time and wash the fabric if it becomes dirty. All you have to do is tie a piece of fabric to a plastic screen, and it will be ready for use.

For additional decoration, you can sew pockets for storing small items, various appliques, or paint it with safe paints.

Note! All activities, except those that are potentially hazardous to health (for example, working with PVC glue or a pipe soldering iron), can be performed with children. Such work, if done in a playful way, develops children’s motor skills and teaches children to work.

Examples

Here are a few photos of finished products that have been successfully made and are used in educational institutions at various levels, as well as at home. We hope that they will give you new ideas that can be implemented in reality.

Using the recommendations outlined above, you can make a simple screen from plastic pipes with your own hands for kindergarten or personal use at home. If you have the necessary materials and tools, such work will take very little time. If you have your own ideas for making plastic screens, do not forget to share them in the comments with other visitors to the mainavi.ru website.

Plastic products have firmly entered our everyday life, quietly displacing many of their analogues. And the most common among all such products are PVC pipes, which, due to their low cost and practicality of use, are found everywhere. And today we will talk about how to use them in a non-standard way and what interesting things you can make from them with your own hands.

It is difficult to list all the products that you can make with your own hands, having only fragments of building materials on hand, as well as fasteners for connecting them. Using such raw materials, you can create incredible and necessary things.

There are truly countless ideas for creating crafts from simple hollow objects. These can be either ordinary organizers for organizing a workspace and a stand for a laptop or tablet, or designer masterpieces (chairs, beds, coffee tables and other furniture) that emphasize a person’s individuality.

Items and products from polypropylene pipes DIY - this is the most suitable activity for people with a rich imagination. At the same time, they do not have to purchase specialized equipment and tools to produce home crafts from plastic, because such materials can be joined quite simply.

Such designs can be:

1. Collapsible, the installation process of which is simplified through the use of fittings, connectors, angles and tees.
2. One-piece, for assembly you will need special assembly glue for plastic or bolts.

And, if the second method is more suitable for stationary interior products, then the first installation method is used by craftsmen interested in the production of seasonal items. For example: a folding fishing chair, a greenhouse, a canopy and a gazebo, a garden swing, etc. Such structures can be easily assembled in advance of the season, and then stored away without worrying that they will deteriorate in the winter.

Crafts made from hollow polyvinyl chloride pipes have a huge number of advantages. Among the main ones are the durability of raw materials and the aesthetic appearance of finished products. Equally important is the relative cheapness of the materials, which is a great temptation for many who want to try their hand at creating universal plastic objects.

Other advantages include:

1. Practicality of installation and operation.
2. Strength of structures due to high density raw materials.
3. A variety of craft options (configurations, sizes, appearance).
4. The ability to create exclusive designer items that can later be put up for sale or given as a gift.
5. Absolute safety and non-toxicity of raw materials, allowing the use of crafts in a wide variety of rooms and conditions.

Whatever design you decide to create, you should remember that the main raw materials (pipe cuttings) can be acquired quite easily, but you will have to prepare fasteners and tools in advance. The same bolts, plugs and fittings - you will need to first calculate how many of these or other parts are needed.

In addition, it is also necessary to prepare auxiliary tools that may be useful in the process of creating an exclusive:

• pencil and ruler/tape measure;
• drill and screwdriver;
• glue or screws.

If you decide to bend materials to obtain a product of a certain shape, first think about exactly how you will be able to achieve the desired result. In general, crafts made from fragments of plastic pipes are easy and simple, as you can see by reading this article to the end.

Preschool Ideas

Very often, PVC pipes are used as the most optimal raw material for the manufacture of furniture and household items for children. For example, small chairs, low tables, screens for play areas, football goals for outdoor games, etc. are very popular. There are many more useful and interesting things for which inexpensive polyvinyl chloride pipes are suitable.

For example, to organize leisure time for children in kindergarten, you can make a mobile puppet theater yourself. Moreover, you will only need a few pieces of pipe and connecting elements to create a frame, as well as fabric for the curtain. The result can be a very attractive, and most importantly, an invention needed for kindergarten.

The frame can be made in the form of a screen from two load-bearing supports, two lintels and a floor frame of four tubes, as shown in the photo below on the left. You can also do it yourself more complex design- a screen of three sections, the manufacture of which will require a little more consumables and time.

No less relevant devices made from polyvinyl chloride pipes for organizing children’s leisure time in kindergarten:

• development stand (busy board);
• washing hands or toys;
• crib for dolls, etc.

Another necessary structure for kindergartens made from PVC pipes is bicycle parking. It is easy to make such a stand with your own hands, even if you have never had to deal with the installation of pipelines before. In order to build such an installation, you will need two long and two short fragments for the base, as well as several more pairs of identical sections for the racks holding the wheels.

Appliances that are relevant for any time of year are a towel dryer, a laundry basket and a hanger made of plastic pipes. Such designs will be indispensable not only in kindergartens, but also in ordinary residential buildings. Made from fairly light and cheap materials, they can serve their owners for a long time.

The best ideas for country houses

Happy owners of private houses outside the city can also use PVC pipes to their advantage. For those who come to rest and relax in nature, luxurious gazebos and canopies can be made from such materials. And for cinema lovers, you can create a homemade cinema from canvas stretched over a frame made of polyvinyl chloride pipes. What could be better than pleasant company and open sky, under which you can organize a home evening with friends in front of the big screen. By the way, you can use the remains of other building materials as a canvas. For example, pieces of stretch ceiling remaining after repair.

The same garden furniture can be made with your own hands from pipe sections. Tables, folding chairs, comfortable garden chairs and even sun loungers - you can easily make these products yourself by looking at drawings on the Internet or developing your own own project.

For example, you can use images and diagrams of garden furniture:

Incredibly beautiful, reliable and comfortable benches and swings are made from polyvinyl chloride tubes. And the most important thing is that the production of such structures will not require significant financial investments. May they serve for a very long time, delighting not only the owners, but also their guests.

For those who come to their dacha not only to relax, but also to work, there are also several ideas for arranging their personal plot. What can be made from scraps of plastic pipes that remain, say, after replacing a pipeline? Yes, a lot of things! These can be not only the necessary improvised installations and devices, but also decorative structures to decorate the area adjacent to the house.

For example, if a hose is in the way, and there is no suitable place to store it, make a stand with your own hands from pipe scraps. Those who want to quickly construct a fence for a flower bed or protect themselves from neighbors can use the same material. As you can see from the photo, plastic will fit perfectly into any environment and will help protect your vegetation from animal attacks.

Pet lovers can use plastic hollow structures to create pens and cages various configurations and sizes. The result is cheap mobile structures that look very aesthetically pleasing. It is worth noting that materials with a large hole can also be useful here. Homemade craft feeders from sewer pipes allow farmers who keep birds (quails, chickens, etc.) not to worry about food for their charges. The feed poured into the chute from above will automatically flow to the feeding area.

Another do-it-yourself product made from polypropylene pipes that is relevant for the summer season is an arch shower and an irrigation frame. These are so commonplace designs that you don’t even need a diagram to create them. All you need is a few scraps from PVC manifolds, fittings for connecting them and, of course, a drill for making holes for water. Next, you need to connect the hose to one end of the pipes, and put plugs on the rest (except for the water holes). And, voila - you have a portable shower and a frame for watering your garden beds, lawn or flower bed.

PVC plastic pipes can be connected in the following ways:

• into a socket with a rubber seal;
• with help adhesive composition;
• bolts, drilling holes.

The first connection method is characterized by simplicity, but lack of rigidity. Before connecting, it is recommended to clean the internal and external surfaces of the pipes at the junction from dust particles and treat the inserted part of the pipe with silicone grease. First, the pipe is inserted into the socket until it stops, after which it is carefully pulled back by 0.7 - 1 cm. The structures assembled in this way can later be dismantled, which is convenient for seasonal products.

The second method of assembling pipes is characterized by reliable fixation and greater labor intensity. Work on connecting parts begins with sanding the mating surfaces of the socket and pipe for better adhesion. Then they must be degreased with methylene chloride. The adhesive composition is applied along the entire length of the prepared outer surface of the pipe and to 2/3 of the length inner surface bell Finally, the pipe is inserted into the socket until it stops and turned a quarter turn. For gluing, you need to press the parts for 1 minute. For good fixation, all operations to connect two segments must be carried out quickly enough. The combined elements are left for several hours until completely dry adhesive composition.
