March 19, 2013

Just in time for the start of spring, I am building my first permanent tomato cage.  This is the basic frame.  I still need to glue and paint it. 

It is basically 30 two-foot pieces of 3/4" PVC and 52 pieces of one-foot pieces of 3/4" PVC held together by connectors and glue.   I will try to diagram it out, for anyone who wants to give it a try, and have the diagram by the time I finish the first frame.

Bought with new materials, this frame ran me a little under $44.  If you could get the PVC as scrap, especially the connectors, you could make it for a lot less.
