Children's Garden Fort
I am probably going overboard on my bout of recycling! I figured out how to create a new sprinkler zone and so I had these homemade drip lines I had created a few years ago.. pvc pipe. I kept looking at them trying to think what to do with them as they have holes in them..... It finally came to me. I would create a tunnel fort with bird netting over the top. I could grow beans and morning glories over the top of it and it could be a little fort for the kids in the garden. When I was little I made my own forts but apparently my kids need some help so I made this for them. Please use your imagination until I can get some beans and flower vines growing over it. I had a few problems. Before my engineer friends shred my design plans, I want you to know I was WORKING with what I had. I had to buy a few pieces of fitting and a little bit of pvc....... My spouse came out to snoopervise.. I say "Hey mark this at 7ft while you are standing there"! I continue on fitting everything together when I look down at a piece of pipe (it appears to be about 5 ft) I go.. "UH why is this 5ft"? He shruggs Louder this time.. "why is this 5ft"? more shruggs and the far off look. Ok go inside! What? he asks? I go "You need to leave"! He shruggs and walks away... then mister Plumber pants Matthew decides that he is building a sewer system and continues to steal my pieces and fittings when I am not looking!! Yes this is him I can move fast with a camera when I have my blog in mind!

Supplies needed
Recycled or new pipe
tape measure
saw
Pvc glue and Primer
fittings
velcro to add the bird netting
bird netting
paint (optional)
I you can look at it and get the general idea. I won't go into the measurements because I am sure it can be altered anyway you want. My base is 7ft to give you an idea. I am also the eyeball type. Not good for the spouse it makes him nervous.







If those pipes have holes in them, you can also hook it up and make that into a little car wash.
Nice reuse project.
