PVC as a Wood Substitute

We here at PVCFittingsDirect.com love working with PVC Pipes and PVC Pipe Fittings. So much, in fact, that we decided to see how much you could do with PVC outside of plumbing and irrigation systems. Man, were we shocked to find some of the things that people have made with PVC Pipes and PVC Pipe Fittings. We’ve been posting some of the videos of the things we’ve found and today we are going to give you some instructions on how to make a bird feeder out of PVC Pipe and PVC Pipe Fittings.

What you need are two threaded end caps or clean-out fittings, a 4” PVC Pipe about 3-4 feet long and 1 y-joint. Attach one clean-out joint to the top of the PVC Pipe, and the y-joint to the bottom. Attach the final threaded clean-out joint to the bottom of the y-joint. Since these are threaded, you can fill the feeder when you are finished. To mount the feeder, you can just brace it to a fence or tree with wires, or drill holes on either side of the pipe and run a wire to hang the feeder from a tree branch.

Once you are all done, hang it up and wait for the birds to come for a quick bite. You can also get creative and use additional y-joints to make more feeding spots for more than one bird at a time.
