Default PVC Cage for EB/Containers

Came across this at another site and thought I'd post it here. As long as you are not moving your containers around it should work nicely and can be taylored to the size of your grow boxes. All you need is PVC pipe & fittings, glue and a hacksaw. Ami

I have nerver used PVC pipes, because I have different needs.
If I were to use PVC pipes, I would try to do this:

1. You may not need to glue all joints. If you use galvanized nails to pin the joints, then the cages can be easily taken apart for storage.

2. PVC pipes are slippery, difficult to tie plants. If you drill thru the pipes at various places and put nails thru the holes, you can tie the branches much easier.
