Time to Get Your Shade Cloth Up! | I Built a 10ft Tall Shade Structure

Thanks for the video. Planning to do the same.
Can you list the items purchased?

Sure! 😊
I used 3/4 conduit and it comes in 10ft length

4ft rebar for extra reinforcements

And I got the attachments from maker pipe
makerpipe.com/collections/modular-pipe-fittings
-one hole straps ( I did two per leg so 4 packs of 4 for my 8 legs)
-end caps for the 8 legs
-I needed 4, 4 WAY STRUCTURAL PIPE CONNECTORS for my design.
-4 90 DEGREE STRUCTURAL PIPE CONNECTORS
I am also testing using 1/2 conduit for the top and keeping the legs 3/4 inch conduit. It saves money and it’s easier to lift since they are so much lighter, but some of the reviews on maker pipe say the 1/2 in connectors slide off. That’s why I opted to leave the legs 3/4 inch figuring if it’s true, the legs would be the ones working against gravity. So far so good and a couple monsoons storms in!

Oh! You’ll also need a copper cutter. www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-1-8-in-to-1-1-8-in-OD-Copper-Tube-Cutter/1002633280
