20+ Awesome PVC DIY Projects

PVC has a variety of uses included moving potable water, waste water and chemicals for heating and cooling. PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) pipes are flexible and durable enough that it allows people to construct or repurpose them in a variety of ways outside of carrying fluids. The best thing is that PVC material is relatively cheap so with a few tools and some patience you can construct something usable for your gear. Be sure to paint the PVC to help protect it from the sun if you plan on using it outdoors. Here’s a great compilation of several examples on how people are utilizing PVC to organize or aid in storing their outdoor gear. Pretty nifty stuff!

PVC is pretty inexpensive in comparison to other materials and it’s really easy to mold, cut and bend to do just about any lightweight project. These projects are great for allowing kids to help you out because it doesn’t require much in the way of heavy duty work tools. Keep in mind if you plan on using PVC outside, UV rays from the sun can make PVC become brittle, so a nice coat of paint will help reduce that.
