TV stand made of PVC pipes
This TV stand is very easy to make. This kind of stand can be assembled in a couple of hours, to the size of almost any flat-screen TV. For this particular project, I will be installing a 32-inch flat screen TV. The stand will be high enough to make it comfortable to watch TV from the bed. If you decide to replicate my design, please note that larger or heavier TVs may require larger diameter pipes and wider long legs.
This stand is approximately 160 cm high and holds a 32-inch flat screen TV weighing approximately 14 kg. The legs are about 50 cm long and spaced 81 cm apart.
The pipes have a diameter of 1.5 inches and a wall thickness of 40.
Fittings: 4 pieces T-bar, 2 pieces 90-degree elbows, 4 pieces leg couplings.
Pipe lengths: 2 - 20 cm, 2 - 30 cm, 2 - 71 cm, 4 - 73 cm.
All pipes were cut using special shears for cutting PVC pipes, but if you don't have one, you can cut them with a hand saw for wood or metal. Be careful not to split the pipes.
Once all the pipes are cut, we begin to assemble:
Assembly can begin with the legs. Assembling each side separately, and finally connecting them. Or start from the top and finish by assembling the legs of the stand.
After assembly, make sure that the stand stands firmly and stable on a flat surface, without unnecessary rolling or tilting.
My structure is held tightly with screws for easy dismantling, but you can permanently glue the pieces together into a whole structure. If you are going to use screws, it is recommended to drill holes before drilling with screws.
The wooden board that will hold the TV on the stand is a piece of 1/2″ plywood. If cooling holes are needed, it can be cut so that it is cooled by natural ventilation. In my case, I cut out a groove to connect the wires.
Before attaching the board to the stand, drill all the holes for attaching to the stand, as well as the holes for mounting the TV itself.
Next, drill mounting holes in the PVC pipes. You do this very carefully. And tighten the fastening bolts even more carefully so that the pipes do not crack.
Once the stand is mounted, install the TV. That's all. Install the stand in a place convenient for you, connect the wires and use it to your health. I personally made such a stand in order to watch TV from the bed, and since there is no wall next to the bed, there is nowhere to hang the TV except on its own stand.Of course, there was an option to put the TV on a stand like a bedside table, but this option is too bulky. Moreover, the bedside table is low, so it’s not the same at all.
