  PVC pipes are durable plastic and vinyl pipes that never rust or decay over time. They often are used in water systems and in underground carrying systems. They are adaptable and easy to cut and can be used to make a wide variety of projects around the house.
  
  

Dog Bowl Stand

• When dog bowls are on the floor, they can get underfoot and spilled easily. This simple PVC dog bowl stand, suggested by PVC Workshop online, will help keep them off the floor and within easy reach for your dog. Get several lengths of PVC pipe and a jigsaw. Cut 12 2-foot lengths for the stand. Six of these will be the base, and six will be the legs. Connect the base using PVC pipe connectors. Attach the legs vertically from the base using the pipe connectors. Cut eight pieces of 1 foot pipe and use PVC pipe connecting pipes to connect four of these pipes into a square. Use the other four in the same way. These are the bowl holders. Use pipe connectors to attach the bowl holder to the legs. If your dog is smaller, adjust the height accordingly.
  
  

Pool Towel Rack

• This PVC pipe project, suggested by PVC Workshop online, will give you a solid towel rack for your pool. Get 15 feet of PVC pipe and cut a length about 5 feet long. This will be the basic pool rack mold. Cut 4 more feet off of your pipe and cut this in two. These will serve as your pool towel rack base. Drill a hole large enough to fit PVC pipe in the top of each of these pipes. Now, cut off another 6 feet and cut these in two. These will serve as the legs for your pool towel rack. Use PVC pipe connectors to connect them to your rack at a 90 degree angle. Slide the tip of the legs into the base pipes. Your rack should be sturdy enough to use immediately. Put rubber stoppers on the end of any loose pipe to prevent any insects or other animals from making a nest inside.
  
  

Picture Frame

• This PVC pipe frame, suggested by DIY Ideas online, can make a frame for interesting or strange pictures. Buy several different lengths of PVC pipe. Make sure you get pipes with different circumferences to help add variety to the frame. Cut dozens of pipe lengths, 1-1/2 to 3 inches long, from each pipe circumference. Once you have these pipes, carefully glue them together around a square wooden template the size of a picture frame with strong plastic glue. Arrange the sizes in artful ways to create your perfect picture frame. Try to keep the inner edge smooth enough to fit a picture. Slide the PVC frame over a picture in a basic frame the same size as your template to complete the look.
