How to Make a Saddle Stand

You can store your saddle on a saddle stand whenever you're not using it. This lightweight, durable stand is made with PVC pipe and takes only about 30 minutes to put together.

Things You'll Need

• 4 1-inch PVC pipes, 2-feet long
• 2 1-inch PVC pipes, 1-inch long
• 2 1-inch 45-degree angle 3-way connectors
• 6 1-inch corner connectors
• 2 1-inch PVC pipes, 1-3/4-feet-long
• 4 1-inch PVC pipes, 2 inches-long
• 2 1-inch 4-way corner connectors
• 4 1-inch PVC pipes, 1-foot long
• PVC cement

Instructions

1. Place two 1-foot PVC pipes into the straight sides of one of the 4-way corner connectors. Repeat for the other 4-way connector.

2. Connect the two pieces from Step 1 with one of the 2-foot poles.

3. Slide two 2-foot poles into the open connectors.

4. Place corner connectors at the top of the two 2-foot poles, facing each other. Place the 1-inch pipes into the open connectors.

5. Slide the 45-degree connectors onto the 1-inch pipe. Connect these together with the 2-foot pipe.

6. Insert the 3-inch pipes into the open connectors and slide elbow joints onto each pipe. Connect two connectors together on one side with the 1-3/4-foot pipe. Insert the other pipe on the other side.

7. Cover the connections with PVC cement to make the saddle stand more sturdy.
