Best part about this video is I have EVERYTHING already, including the paint! I made a portable privacy area for a shared hotel room on a beach trip. I got the idea from the screens used when my job had a biometric screening event. I checked the price of one and it was $100! Nope! All the PVC parts came to less than $10. Black flat sheet came to $5. Whole thing fits into an old camp chair bag. Once that bag began disintegrating, I made one put of a tarp from $store & used the rest of the tarp to create bags to carry foam flooring for our tent. Thanks for the video! LOVE it when I can repurpose & use items from around the house!

Flipping through Amazon and looking at these crazy prices for a tarp pole. Then i started to brainstorm for a simple solution. Though of PVC, and I knew someone had done it before. Thanks for the ideas. Thanks for the video

I made a privacy area in a shared hotel room when we went on a beach trip. I got the idea from the biometric screening at my job and all there was was a pop up screen divider. All the PVC parts/pieces came to $9, black flat sheet (to thread through the T top), new from a thrift store came to $5. The 'official' version started at $100/😮. Contrary to popular belief, just because I'm rooming w same gender, I still like privacy and the bathroom isn't always available. It gave ample space cat-cornered by the desk area. I also put a cross section along the top to hang wet items. The entire thing taken apart fit into an old camp chair bag next to my Corolla wheel well. Now, I can use the same pieces to make a tarp awning. Thanks!

This is really helpful! I'm thinking of a simple tarp awning for my car next time I go camping and those pipes are definitely what I need 👍

I didn't see what you used up at the top for your pin that goes through the grommets on the tarp. Did you use a pipe cap and put a bolt through it?

@laffilmfest3759 9 ай бұрын

Yes...a hole drilled in the cap, stainless steel washers, bolts and nuts...works good, added a small piece of medical tubing to cover the exposed threads so they would not damage the grommets:)

Go ahead and tap the feet in. A good rubber strap wrench will get you loose!

Not only are the 5-Way PVC’s available via Home Depot, but what color do you want? Red, yellow, purple, green, blue, white, black, even orange! Maybe NOT in store, but yes, available from!
