I've wanted to do this for a while too, and just got around to it today. It started with 2 10' sections of schedule 40 PVC pipe, 1 piece of 3/4 strut and 4 6" pipe brackets(off of internet as no one sells locally). I cut the strut to 36" lengths(good round number), painted(hangers too) and bolted them to the flange of the I beam frame. I then cut my pipes to have a total of 8' lengths with the caps installed and glued them together. Got my 12 year old to help me install them and this is the result. They will be used for holding my awning poles and one will be a spare for now. I am sure something will be put there the first trip!
I am going to put galvanized 1/8" wire through the hole in the stainless washer and attach the other end to the strut or bracket so I won't lose my caps.
