Step 3: Add the legs

The assembled top will help you determine where to position the remaining holes. Cut four remaining PVC pipes into 8-foot legs. Slip short lengths of leftover PVC pipe into each L fitting, lift the frame, and slide the right front leg into the pipe sleeve already in the ground (see photo). Carefully mark where the other three holes should go, then repeat repeat instructions from steps 2 and 3.

Spray-paint the frame’s top and legs. Let dry overnight, then disassemble the top to hang curtains.

Tip: Slip legs into pipe sleeves to hold them upright for painting.
