PVC Dish Tailgater Stand

[Road-King]

Thought I would post this for anyone like me who doesn't like their ($300) Tailgater sitting on the ground.

Parts needed;

20' Schedule 40 1" PVC
8 X 90s
8 X Tees

All parts are 1" Schedule 40 PVC.
The top support square uses;

Cut 4 X 9 1/2"
Cut 4 X 1 1/2"
4 X Tees
4 X 90s

The bottom support square uses;

Cut 4 X 17 1/2"
Cut 4 X 1 1/2"
4 X Tees
4 X 90s

For the support legs I cut 4 X 25". The support legs are at an angle because the top square is smaller than the bottom. If you put the Tees in the middle of each cross piece, both top and bottom, I don't think you would have the angle's. But I was okay with it. I glued the top square and the bottom but left the support legs UN-glued so I could break it down for storage and transport. I plan on using 2 bungee cords and a 5 gal bucket, full of water as an anchor.

Plan B
The twist did start to bother me, so I did a mod on the bottom square. I used;

Cut 8 1/2" pipe
Cut 16 1/4" pipe
same 90s and Tees.

Now it's straight and has a little larger base square.

I thought the "twist" gave it character .....

That is good , I just went through basically the same thing, Then my lovely bride of 50+years says" Hey what about that old camp stove stand. BINGO. folds down to a 4x4 " 2' long very storable deal. And just like the PVC , didn't cost almost 200.
cheers

For those in the NE that have trouble getting SAT 169?

Tailgater will not get 169 on or off the stand. Twist or not.
