MacGyver Challenge: Hack Something Using PVC Pipe

Hello, fellow life hackers. Time for another MacGyver Challenge. What's a MacGyver Challenge, you ask? Simple. We give you an object and you show us what cool things you can do with it. Our editors pick the best submissions and our favorite will be featured here on Lifehacker!

Ready? Then let's get started.

This week, we're asking you to make something using PVC. It's cheap, sturdy, and fairly easy to work with, making it a great DIY material. We've shown you all kinds of fun hacks with PVC pipe. You can create a bike rack, a trash bag dispenser, stackable drawer organizers, or even build your own bodyweight home gym.

Now, it's your turn. Share your best hack using PVC pipes. Your hack can use other materials, of course, but the PVC pipes should be the defining element. Send us pictures and a description of your hack and feel free to annotate your photos if you need to. And don't be afraid to get creative!

Make sure to follow these instructions when you submit your entry:
