Question for condo makers

**pstone** · 10-20-2006, 10:11 PM

I found a pic on the net with something like this condo that I made, and was wondering what would be the best way to keep the pipes from twirling around the rebar.

What do ya'll think?

PS, the date is wrong.

pretty neat concept pstone right off the bat only thing comes to mind is could you use two peices of rebar

PVC cement at points where the pipe touch should do it

What you need to do is to cut a piece of vinal flooring into a triangle about three inches long and screw the long end to one pipe and the pointed end to the other pipe where they intersect. I have made some using vinal fencing and made them about 7to8 feet wide. This way they wont spin around.

Thanks guys for the ideas. I thought about the 2 peices of rebar, but the holes would be awfull hard to drill. I'm going to try the other two ideas first, then if I have to, I'll do the 2 rods.

Thanks again,

ya cement sounds good to me i know that stuff is strong but years under water woundnt bet the rent on it either

Yeah, I'm going to try the vinyl first...

If you used all-thread, you could run a nut down on it until tight.
my other thought is, what would make it spin in the first place?

one more thought, I would hate to have the kids go swimming and jump on that rod sticking up.

when u finish putting it together on the boat u have to bend the rebar over so the tubes dont come off
