Its now 2016 and it cost me $30 at a local Home Depot. I loved it, it was easy to assemble for me. Now to figure out a way to transport as I currently drive a scooter. Home Depot was nice and made all my cuts for me.

I ordered the PVC needed but I could have bought a metal frame on amazon for cheaper than I just paid at Lowe's :( It was almost $40 for everything (I did order an extra 10' due to using a slightly larger dimension, 6 foot instead of 5) This probably would have been a better purchase in my opinion mainly because it has adjustable dimensions. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I85Y9TC/ref=s9_simh_gw_p421_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1TT9N813VCH6Q47CHVC9&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktopUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117887540769807558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292782349141576089.post-11728232374793636742015-12-01T06:40:27.741-08:002015-12-01T06:40:27.741-08:00What about a vinyl table cloth?What about a vinyl table cloth?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639667650906034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292782349141576089.post-82986727907007951682015-11-25T15:56:45.340-08:002015-11-25T15:56:45.340-08:00This is the cutest comment!! ;) ...and I live in t...This is the cutest comment!! ;) ...and I live in the PNW too, p.s. ;)Christina Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837135884247456861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292782349141576089.post-81088915636033357442015-11-07T23:50:49.727-08:002015-11-07T23:50:49.727-08:00Hi!!!

There are a few ideas tossed around in the comments... canvas back drops, shower curtains, patterned table cloths, etc.. let your imagination run wild! Of course, you can also slip a roll of seamless paper into the top bar.

I also found a you tube video on how to make an inexpensive light stand and you use a clamp light. The parts cost $8.00 with out the lamp. The you tube video is called Make a PVC light stand for under $5.00. It cost me more than that, but it is still cheaper than buying a light stand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292782349141576089.post-26924072465141230312015-06-21T19:25:19.547-07:002015-06-21T19:25:19.547-07:00My Fiance and I went to Home Depot and had the pvc...My Fiance and I went to Home Depot and had the pvc cut for free. We came home to put it up together, but while I was in the kitchen preparing marinade for our steaks, unbeknownst to me, he had put it together on his own. I promise you I was in the kitchen no more than 10 minutes. He said it was the easiest thing ever and was really thankful for the tutorial. In total, we spend $32 to build it and that is because we bought additional pvc to make it 6.5 inches tall. We are looking forward to putting it to use during our midnight, July 4 nuptials!
