Notes

Most hardware stores such as Lowes and Home Depot have inexpensive scrap wood sections and they can also make the cuts for you. Drywall screws work in place of wood screws. For the PVC, a 4” coupling works perfect, and no cutting is involved. The L Brackets are not necessary if you use very thick PVC. You can just screw the PVC directly to the plywood from the bottom. Our experience has proven that L brackets make the PVC more interchangeable if it happens to crack.
