where did you buy all the plastic fittings for the obs?

I have an outlet called Poly Pipe Traders right near my house and they gave me a discount. I also went and priced up parts at a couple of stores including bunnings. It pays to shop around. Remember I have built the large economy size and if you are going to build the 8 footer then you only need to use 25mm pipe and fittings which would be much cheaper. The breakdown is as follows.

32 X 45 degree elbows
12 X Cross pieces (hard to get at some places as they are not strictly standard)
8 X T pieces
8 X 6" Wheels and Bolts and washers to fit. For 40mm pipe buy 100mm bolts.

For a horizontal stringer of 1.2 Meters I required 8 X 6M lengths of pipe.

I have attached a picture of what you have to make with these parts and the quantities.

I hope this helps.

all the best

Paul
