PVC Pipe Photography Backdrop Stand

Filed Under: Crafts, Photography, Tutorials

I can not believe I have waited so long to do this. I have seen several DIY PVC Pipe Photography Backdrop Stand posts, but never took the time to go to the store and buy the materials. I used this tutorial. I love that this backdrop stand is so easy to take apart , store and transport.

PVC Pipe Photography Backdrop Stand

I went to our local Lowes and purchased my materials. It came in a over $20 because I bought the bag of clamps.

Here is what you will need:

{3} 10ft of 3/4 inch PVC Pipes

{2} 90 Degree Slip on Elbows

{8}  T-Shape Slip on Connectors

{8} Slip on End Caps

Hacksaw

Bag of Clamps to hold backdrop

I didn’t ask a store employee to cut my PVC pipes because I could fit the 10ft lenghts in my van but if you need them smaller to transport here are the cuts. When we got home we did the cuts in the same order listed here.

You can ask an employee for these cuts:

{4} Five-foot lengths

{2} Three-foot lengths

{1} Four-foot length

When you get home make these cuts:

{2} Five-foot lengths {done}

{2} Three-foot lengths &  {2} two-foot lengths {cut these from the remaining five-foot sections}

{4} 18-inch lengths {cut from the two three-foot sections}

{8} 6-inch lengths {cut from the four-foot section}

Assembly:

It is very easy to put together and take apart.  This is one part of the base. You will make two of these.

Next take the 3 foot sections and connect to each part of the base. Then finish the top part like this.

Extra Notes:

Make sure you get the slip on connectors not threaded.

Second part of that is to make sure you get the same size connectors as your PVC Pipe.

Buy some clamps while you are there. I just grabbed a $12 bag off different sizes and there are plenty in there.

Here is my PVC Pipe Photography Backdrop Stand in use this weekend at Carsyn’s 3rd Birthday Party. My black backdrop is just a black fabric shower curtain. I bought it a few years back for really cheap.

Voila! That is it. So easy and cheap to do!  Go today to the hardware store and make this now.

    This is awesome! I have a different style, but yeah it was easy too. We had a slip up with the threaded ends, so glad you pointed that out.

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷

Nothing spectacular, but she was excited. Of course I had to film it so it was bokeh, cause it is so much prettier that way.
