Default Chico's T-Stand

This is the stand I built for Chico based on Camille's design. Couldn't find any 1" PVC, so used 1 1/2". For a DYH Zon, I don't think it'll be too big. Total cost, $39.00, with enough Stainless Steel screws left over to do a couple more. Total time, a couple of hours. Thanks Camille!!

It looks great! I've never seen PVC connectors like those- interesting! I like the bowl on there. I'm contemplating adding a few onto Ollie's, but then that just means more bowls for me to wash! She can just fly back to her cage when she's hungry or thirsty so it's not really necessary. Any idea on what you're going to use to catch the poop?

I'm not real thrilled with the way the bowl is mounted right now. It's just screwed on, which means ya gotta unscrew it every time to wash it. I expect I'll probably just put newspaper under it to keep the poop off the floor, and spray/wipe down the base. Eventually I may try to find a piece of flooring to cover the base like you did.

With the way the base is made, most of the poop will land on the newspaper anyway.

They're not too bad Nate. The Fids love to play catch the fingers as you're unscrewing it!

Great job on the T stand!

I love it Nate!!! All it needs now is the kitchen sink attached on top!! As often in a week as I work with 1 1/2" PVC I have never thought of using it for a play stand. Too cool.
