Hi all, I just wanted to thank all of your for your advice and time before hand!
I'm currently working on a play and the set designer wants there to be a PVC post that connects from two upright poles in the set, and also two structural posts in the building where we are working. I've attached some preliminary set design plans and I've circled the PVC pipes in question in red. The longer of these two PVC pipes is 13' long, to get an idea of the amount of weight that will be put on the structure. We currently don't have a selection for how thick the pipe will be.
The problem is that we need to figure out how to attach the PVC to the structural post (approximately 7"x7" square) so that it doesn't slide or wiggle throughout the performance. The current idea is to make a kind of jig using two pieces of 2x4 and two bolts in order to make a tight square and then attach the PVC to the wood. (pictures attached of this method as well) I think this will work well but I just wanted to see if any of you had any other ideas!
Thanks again for all of your help!
