sch 40 pvp pipe

what is it?

local diy place hasn't got clue.

got some hammocks for kids and want to make couple of these.

https://www.instructables.com/id/Free-Standing-Portable-Hammock-Stand/

Schedule 40 pvc pipe (as opposed to pvp) comes up in searches

one link here **LINK**

Not that i call anything with pegs and guy-ropes free standing... Anyhow you could as easily use some decent timber or ally poles and when you weigh as much as I do then i would trust paracord unless I'd braided a few strands....

pgk

idiot why didn't i twig spelling mistake.

just assumed pvp was american thing typed pvp into ebay and got nothing.

ill be using dyneema rope as bit on heavy side myself.

google dot com (USA) shows pvp pipe as 'pressure vessel pipe' images show thick-walled 'plastic' pipe.
doesn't help at B&Q though, does it !

That instructables site has overblown instructions for the simplest things just to catch a few searching punters and sell advertising. They'd make a meal of boiling an egg.

Looks like the sort of thing we used to make when I was a scoutleader, use a length of timber (a pioneering pole in ScoutSpeak)

Sc 40 is an American spec you just want PVC pressure pipe which in the UK is designated by letters, Class E is probably the easiest to get hold of and the highest pressure rating so thickest.. Pop into your local Koi specialist or if you want white the swimming pool pipe will be upto the job.

Try here or just put "class e pipe" into Google.
