[QUOTE="nomowork, post: 221437, member: 6029"] I finally got around to trying this setup yesterday, although only did two ribs due to the heat. I bought the black 1" pvc in a roll and used the regular 1" pvc T's. The roll pvc uses it's own type of connectors so had to wrap some duct tape on the ends so it would sit snugly inside of the T's. I made two ribs and spaced them about a foot and a half apart and it seems sturdy enough, even while applying some downward pressure on the tarp. I think I'll make about 5 ribs or more for the whole boat. I used a table top vise and a regular hand saw to cut the slot in the T's. I find that a regular wood hand saw cuts the larger pvc pipes the best and fastest. Thanks for the idea! [/QUOTE]
