Buying and building my own 1" pipe stand

Recommended Posts

Does a retail store like Home Depot carry the round metal floor base for a 1" gumball stand?  

 

I am buying them used for $25.00 dollars. Don't know if I can build them cheaper than that price.  Yet, I would like to know that it is

 

possible if I choose that option.  Nothing special about assembling and painting a threaded pipe.

 

I would like to put one together and see if it is cost effective.

 

Thanks,

If you've got the pipe and the flange, you're in business.

 

Fastest way is to take a flower pot or (uglier) a 5-gallon bucket, and drop the end of your pipe into it. Toss in some quick-crete, and you're good. I've seen a lot of these out here- usually have a smattering of faux flowers on top to make it look pretty.

 

The actual bases are easy enough to get from other vendors, CL, etc.- and $25 a stand isn't bad.
