If you make sure you purchase all 1" PVC and fittings you'll be fine. Lastly, ensure all of your connectors are without threads. I went with thin walled for my 10' lengths and thick walled for my 5' lengths. Thin walled is slightly cheaper but is also slightly more flimsy. ![]() Also, they might ask whether you want thin walled or thick walled. It's easier for transport and you'll have to make less cuts yourself. Have them cut your two 10' lengths into 6' and 4' sections. Since I needed two 5' sections I spent two bucks more and saved myself 5 minutes of cutting. You COULD get three lengths of 10' PVC, however they should have 5' sections precut. What you'll need for my build: Two 10' lengths of 1" PVC (each cut to a 6' section and a 4' section) Three 5' lengths of 1" PVC Eight 1" T-connectors without threads Two 1" 90 degree connectors w/o threads Eight 1" end caps without threads Hacksaw or PVC cutting tool Optional: Bessel spring clamps A couple things to keep in mind while at the hardware store. I made a 7' tall, 5' wide backdrop stand by modifying the length of PVC I used for the sides. ![]()
