Video: How to Build a $15 PVC Target Stand

For the innovative inventor and tinkerer, few materials prove to be as versatile as a PVC pipe. Do-it-yourself enthusiasts have long favored PVC piping for constructing simple objects such as chairs, clothing racks, and even primitive bows. In this video, a competition shooter shares his method of building a affordable target stand for IDPA/USPSA practice as well as NRA-style targets.

Necessary materials:

  • 8 feet of 1 1/2″ diameter PVC pipe
  • 4 T-shaped PVC pieces
  • PVC Glue
  • 2 4-foot furring strips
  • Tent stakes to anchor the stand on windy days
  • A saw of some sort
  • Drill
  • File to round out the edges

Overall price of materials in the video: about $15 from your local hardware store.
