* 90° angle PVC elbows (6)

* PVC T-joints (4)

* PVC end caps (4)

* Curtain Rod Brackets (4)

* Curtain Rods (4)

Instructions

Step 1: Cut the PVC Pipes

Using a hacksaw, cut the PVC pipes into the following lengths:

- 8 x 7-foot pipes

- 2 x 3-foot pipes

Step 2: Assemble the Frame

1. Connect two 7-foot pipes with a 120° elbow to form a "T" shape. Repeat to create 4 of these T-shaped frames.

2. Connect the T-shaped frames using 90° elbows.

3. Add a 3-foot pipe to one open end of each 90° elbow.

4. Now you should have a rectangular frame with 4 legs and 4 crossbars near the top.

Step 3: Attach the Crossbars

1. Cut 4 pieces of PVC pipe to 2 feet long.

2. Attach a T-joint to one end of each 2-foot pipe.

3. Connect the T-joints to the crossbars near the top of the frame.

Step 4: Add End Caps

1. Attach an end cap to one open end of each leg of the frame.

Step 5: Attach the Curtain Rod Brackets

1. Attach a curtain rod bracket to each crossbar at the top of the frame.

Step 6: Attach the Curtain Rods

1. Slide a curtain rod through each curtain rod bracket.

Step 7: Attach the Curtains

1. Hang the curtains on the curtain rods.

Step 8: Secure the Frame

1. Tighten all connection points using cable ties.

Your portable curtain stand is now ready to use!

Additional Tips

* Measure the space where you plan to use the curtain stand before cutting the pipes. This will ensure that the stand is the correct size.

* Use a level to make sure the curtain stand is level before hanging the curtains.

* Space the 120-degree elbows approximately two and a half feet apart to ensure stability.

* If you want to make the stand more stable, you can add additional crossbars between the legs.

* You can also add wheels to the base of the stand to make it easier to move.
