The nuances of working with the material

Models from water pipes are unusual, original. They decorate the room, garden plot. Do-it-yourself plastic furniture will bring zest to the interior and attract the attention of guests.

Furniture is made from plastic pipes. Two types of material are used in production: polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Each of them has its own characteristics and is suitable for production. different products. Polyvinyl chloride is a cheaper material. It is more often used for sewer pipes. Its advantages include:

  • strength and durability;
  • ease of installation;
  • low cost.

The disadvantage of PVC is that when exposed to high temperatures, the pipes begin to deform. Unlike them, products made of polypropylene are not subject to shape change during high temperature water. They are able to withstand liquid heating up to 60 degrees, and if the pipe is reinforced, even more.

Both materials are equally suitable for making furniture. In addition, there are a huge variety of items that are made from scraps. These are shelves, coasters, a frame for a mirror and more. Furniture is easy to assemble. The design consists of pipes and fittings, the elements are also glued together. Even a beginner can make pieces of furniture from pvc pipes with his own hands.

For this you will need:

  • funnel;
  • sand;
  • scotch;
  • plate;
  • metal container;
  • gloves;
  • saw (hacksaw);
  • knife (scissors);
  • sandpaper;
  • a device for bending pipes (it can be different, mostly improvised materials are used).

  • seal one end with tape;
  • using a funnel, pour in as much sand as will go in;
  • heat the measured amount of sand in a metal container;
  • put on protective gloves for safety, carefully pour sand into the pipe through a funnel;
  • seal the other end with adhesive tape, then the sand will not spill out during the bending process;
  • leave for a while, it will warm up from the inside;
  • when it warms up, start bending;
  • give the pipe the desired shape;
  • at the end of the work, tear off the adhesive tape, pour out the sand;
  • when the pipe cools down, it will be the required shape.

One end of the pipe is sealed with tape

All you have to do is cut pipes of different lengths and glue them securely. It is important to trace only one moment so that the legs of the object are at the same height and the chair or table does not stagger. A sheet is carefully glued onto the table tempered glass and you can enjoy the work of art.

Original decor from scraps

if you cut the pipes into small rings and process the edges, you can create any decor items from them. These can be wall decorations, picture and mirror frames, or original openwork partitions. For this, the rings can be glued or connected in any way convenient for you.

It is fashionable to assemble a light but reliable gazebo in just a few days, and it will look original on garden plot, and will cost many times cheaper than wood.
Enough to assemble metal carcass and color it in White color, and from pipes different size cut rings of the same thickness. Using a glue gun, the rings are glued according to the dimensions of the frame and strengthened.

For inventory storage

After this or that design has been assembled, small pipe trimmings will still remain. From such scraps (preferably the same size) you can make very convenient fasteners for garden tools (shovels, rakes, mops and panicles), as well as in the kitchen for storing various accessories.

In a shed or other designated place for storing these things necessary for the household, it is enough to attach the pipes to the wall at the right level, and the inventory will stop getting in the way (and in the case of a rake it is life-threatening) but will hang in its place. Free up space and the room will become functional and comfortable.

You probably also have a number of different pipe trimmings prepared for disposal in a landfill. Do not rush to throw them away, but first read this material.

Advantages of plastic pipes

Here we are not talking about special purpose pipes, but about their use just "for other purposes." Plastic pipes are light, strong and durable. They are easy to care for, dust does not collect on them, and products made from them are completely safe.

Most often, PVC pipes are used for crafts. They are strong, have increased rigidity and are easy to assemble. various designs through various corners, adapters and nozzles. Polypropylene pipes are also good, but products from them will no longer be non-separable. In addition, in order to create from such pipes, you will have to learn how to use a special soldering machine.

Ways in which pipes are connected in a structure

Plastic pipes are good not only for the manufacture of all kinds of household items, they can also be used to construct all kinds of furniture. In order for the resulting item to serve for a long time, all the details of its design must be correctly connected to each other. Consider the assembly of structures from segments made of PVC pipes.

Methods that can be used to connect such pipes:

  • using bolts, drilling holes for them.

In the case of a socket, the connection is not laborious, but not rigid enough. Before the procedure, the pipes should be thoroughly cleaned from dust and other contaminants at their joints, and then applied to the inserted edge of the pipe with a special silicone grease. At first, the pipe must be inserted all the way, but then it is recommended to push it back up to a centimeter. This is done so that later the structure can be easily disassembled on occasion.

The next method is more reliable, but also more laborious. But in this case, the product will be strong, reliable and durable. For good bonding, before mounting, the parts at the joints are treated with sandpaper for better adhesion. After the treated places are degreased with methylene chloride and are ready for applying glue. Glue is applied both to the treated outer surface and to the inner one. After the pipes are docked, and having brought the pipe to failure, it is worth turning a quarter of a turn. The parts should be pressed tightly against each other for a minute, and in order for the fixation to be maximum, it is best to do the gluing procedure very quickly. After the glued segments should dry for a few more hours.

The most time-consuming way is the third one. In this case, you will have to mark and drill a lot of holes, but this option will provide the future product with excellent strength and reliability. In addition, you don’t have to mess around with glue and sandpaper, and after assembly you don’t have to wait until something dries there.

In order to create corners, all kinds of branches, etc., it is mono to use a variety of fittings, due to which even a person ignorant of these matters can assemble a structure of any complexity. So, let's start considering useful products that were designed by the same private craftsmen as you and I.
