PVC pipes are a huge staple item for all things DIY and off-grid living. They make great tools for building frames, gardening stands and so much more.
However, they can be a bit hard on the eyes. Just because you're living an off-grid life and using alternative items to build structures and other things around your home, it doesn't mean that your home can't have a flair of decor and style.
What everyone seems to be doing to their PVC pipes lately is making them look like wood. You can do this too and have a more natural looking PVC pipe that won't hurt your home's looks.
Find out how to easily paint your PVC pipes to look like all natural wood on the next page!

OMG o.O
Did you read through the comments on instructables? The guy making some sort of martial arts dummy? I’m sorry but what a mook! LOL He’s spent already waaaay too much time and effort (his and everybody else) trying NOT to use wood…
He will never survive 😀
I’d love to read your articles, but I am not clicking through a series of pages to read them. Please put your articles on one page. Thanks!!
#EndClickBait
They already get paid once for the initial click.
I understand, and I am still not clicking through a series of pages to read an article.
I’m with you there. I clicked thru 3 of their pages a few days back and reached #2 in a list of 10 items before I said F*** it 🙁 Too Much Damn Clickbait.
You’d think off-grid and survivalists would just use real wood. Oh wait, that’s exactly what they do
Gouging the pipe end to end takes away the strength of the pipe. It will lose a lot of ability to hold pressure without bursting at a score mark.
Not even gonna read it. Pvc pipe becomes brittle over time. Especially sitting exposed in the elements

Wood stain will also work just fine, just seal it with polyurethane when your done for the same affect. Fun little project to give pvc some added style
I like this. Will give it a try. Thanks Jonathan
Cosmetics is trivial in a survival scenario…
As quickly as every thing else trends on social media these days, you’d think the truth about PVC would make its rounds.
But, from both an environmental and health standpoint, PVC is the most toxic plastic. Here’s why: Vinyl chloride, the chemical used to make PVC, is a known human carcinogen, according to the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).Feb 22, 2013
