Mosquito Net PVC Frame

Summer camp is coming up and man I hate them bugs!

The previous frame I made was fine, but it didnt fit in the tent too
well, it seemed boxy and coffin-like. Because of the angle of the tent.
I was not using the headspace that I could have, so I re-designed my
frame to make a higher entry and using the shape of the tent as my guide.

These are my measurments, you can nip and tuck to suit your needs
or your cot size.

Supplies:

You will need 4 - 10ft pcs of 3/4" pvc pipe and fittings
10 "T's"
4 Elbows
4 End caps for legs

                                       Completed Project
                                                Ta-Da!!

I plan on hanging my tent fan and light from the middle
overhead crossbars

                   Cut a 2" pc of pvc to connect the elbow to the "t"
 
 
 
Directions
 
Mosquito Net PVC Frame


Cutting sizes:
Legs: 29" x 4
Top Leg Extension 18" x 2
End bars 30" x 2

Top Frame Assembly
horizontal pcs 25-1/2" x 4
horizontal pcs   5-1/2" x 4
Verticle Crossbar supports 34" x 3

and
to connect the "T" to the Elbows on the end you will
need to cut 2 pvc pieces 2". (see above picture#3 of the end assembly)

 
Hope you stay bug free!

  1. Hey Jordan, very nice design. I am planning on copying this for the summer camp this year. The post is two years old. Have you tried the frame? Any updates or other suggestions?
