Title: Cheap pipes?
Post by: pvcpipe on February 13, 2014, 01:48:40 PM: Hello!

I am wanting to make a craft project and I need to buy some pvc pipes with their fittings. They're not that cheap in hardware stores (at least to me), do any of you have tips on how to get some cheap ones? I have a limited budget and I will need about 2-3m pipe for the first project and 8 Tees and two couplings. :-\

It's an Art related project which I'd rather keep to myself for the time being. :P
