Cheap PVC and eggcrate dock
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:56 pm
Just wanted to share my cheap pvc and eggcrate dock. You can get all the parts for this dock for about $20-25 at the hardware store and should only take you a couple of hours to assemble. The dock is rock solid.
Materials:
3/4 pvc pipe you can get 10' for $4
Sheet of eggcrate diffusor found in the lighting department
2 - 3/4 "T" elbows
6 - 3/4 right angle elbows, or just get a 10-pack
pvc glue is optional
Something to cut the pvc pipe like a hacksaw or buy the special cutter
The "T" are placed closest to the glass like and upside down letter T.
The top of the dock hooks around the back of the tank, the hook and T support the entire dock.
I bent the eggcrate using a heat gun to create a ramp.
