Q: I know that people make cool stuff out of PVC pipe, such as lawn furniture. Are there plans available for making lawn furniture with PVC piping and fittings? I'm particularly interested in a pattern for a chaise lounge.
A: A company called PTG (Patios To Go) Plastics sells supplies for PVC furniture and has free plans available on its Web site. Some of the plans are complex and require heat bending, but even a beginner can handle others.
The PVC pipe offered at home centers for plumbing isn’t the best to use for furniture because it’s brittle, ugly and can’t stand up to the sun. Specially formulated, furniture-grade PVC fittings and piping are worth investing in for long-lasting furniture. They’re sleeker, colorfast (in white, beige and gray), impact resistant and UV resistant, and they have no unsightly printing or stampings.You can visit PTG’s Web site at www.patiostogo.com or call (352) 243-3220. The company is located at 307 N. Hwy. 27, Clermont, FL 34711.
