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!
@signalsoldier u r very welcome signalsoldier! Set my 1985 Coleman Sun Valley up on my property over the 4th weekend and I shot a little video showing all the modifications i have done to it, should have the video released in a week or so, u were on the right track thinking pvc :)
Just this one video and I had to subscribe. This is exactly what I was looking for even though I didn't know exactly what I was looking for 🤪 thank you! I'm going to build these for our upcoming trip.
Thank you very much Lindsey! The support poles work great! I'm taking mine to Lake Superior in late September to help battle the big storms that roll in...camp on ! :)
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:)
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!

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 👍
@DollopussD glad it helped! U sure can get creative with an awning like set up :)

Like number 20. That's a great idea buddy .👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video. I’m really enjoying them.
Thank U very much!.....u made my day.....enjoy yours too :)
Go ahead and tap the feet in. A good rubber strap wrench will get you loose!
Thanks Mr. Jeff!...great idea!
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?
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:)
5 way joint is not available anywhere in Home Depot or LOWEs
I bought all my material at menards...I'm not sure what u r referring to with a 5-way joint.....??
@@laffilmfest3759 The piece you use for your base (has 5 "holes" as you mention).
I think u r right!...if I remember correctly I found them on amazon...its been awhile since I put them together
