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. (I used a standard cot from Bass Pro).
This is MY frame that I made for summer camp- It does work great and you can
hang a tent fan on the crossbars.

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!

  5. Thanks so much for posting this. I made two of these for my daughters at summer girl scout camp in Connecticut. It worked great over the cots. I did find if I filed the ends of the PVC tubes a little it made it easier to slide them into the joints. Be careful though if you file too much they won't hold together either. Super post! You have helped people all over the country and beyond with this!
