LDO Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) I finally got this finished yesterday. It's an enclosure for the free-standing porch swing on my back patio. I can't afford to build an enclosed porch right now, so this is the next best thing. It's made of 2" PVC pipe. I'm a plumber by trade and this just seemed like a natural. Next step is a cover with canvas on the top and back and mosquito netting on the front and sides. My mom's taking care of that. She's been sewing since she was a kid. Yeah I know; not a model car, but it is plastic and it is scratchbuilt I made it big enough to put one's feet up or put a little table in there for newspapers/car magazines/lemonade/whatever. It's darn sure tall enough. Oh yeah- well after it got started, I found out there are fittings made for making PVC furniture. If I were to do it again...wow it would look a LOT better.
