I bought a couple of pieces of 1" to start playing around and seeing what we can come up with. I will keep everyone posted. So far we are only $30 invested. |

Re: PVC pipe roll cage / roof enclosure
I didn't either until I did a web search for them. My original thought was to turn down some PVC pipe on a lathe to use as a connector. Perhaps some hardwood dowels sections sanded down to fit and glued in might do for connectors also.

Re: PVC pipe roll cage / roof enclosure
Exactly. Good idea also. Then I will find a way to smooth out the seams before paint. By the time we are done it can look like a metal roll cage without the expense and weight. I also want to figure out an easy way to remove it for hauling in our enclosed trailer.

Keep in mind that PVC does NOT hold up in UV well at all. It also doesn't accept paint very well. PVC is a great way to prototype stuff, but my gut tells me that you will not be pleased with the end product if you make it out of PVC. TJ |

Re: PVC pipe roll cage / roof enclosure
You can also use the grey electric conduit stuff the connectors are interchangeable with the white stuff to.
I may be wrong but is the grey pipe thicker? I think the grey is uv resistant , the electric co. runs it up to the meter in full sunlight. I can't wait to see what you come up with |
