Creating a Lemonade Stand Using PVC

Creating a Lemonade Stand Using PVC

Mark Ligon |

Nothing says "summer" like lemonade! As a child, there are few better ways to make summer memories than by setting up a lemonade stand and serving delicious, ice cold refreshment to your neighbors! The lemonade stand is a tradition that has stood for generations as a great way for young people to learn about work ethic and business basics. Making lemonade is easy. What isn't always so easy is making the stand itself. Building a stand out of wood can be difficult and expensive, as it requires sawing, screwing, and nailing. PVC pipe is a fantastic alternative to wood, so why not make a DIY PVC lemonade stand?

What makes PVC a good building material are its weight, price, and simplicity. Its hollow, yet strong design allows PVC to be lightweight, so transporting your DIY lemonade stand will be a cinch. PVC is also a fraction of the cost of wood boards. A 10-ft. section of piping will only cost a few dollars, depending on the diameter. Screws and nails are not needed to make connections with PVC. You don't even need PVC cement in many cases, since PVC pipe is designed to fit snugly into fittings.

These three projects are all great methods for building a DIY PVC lemonade stand. We have chosen three projects of varying complexity and size, so you should be able to find something just right for you! Full instructions are linked, as are the PVC parts required for each project. Happy building!

1. Minimalist PVC Lemonade Stand (Simple Simon & Company)

We've placed this project first on our list because it is the simplest build. However, the title "lemonade stand" is a little deceptive, as this build does not have any type of counter. It is, however, a good-looking front facade! With the addition of a small table behind, it will do the job just fine! It only uses a few, easy-to-find materials. Find all of the PVC materials you need for this fun lemonade stand below.

 

2. Classic DIY PVC Lemonade Stand (FORMUFIT)

This DIY lemonade stand is a slightly more traditional take on the classic design. It has a wooden counter on which to place lemonade, ingredients, and, of course, the money jar. The frame is straightforward and easy to make. It can be decorated with whatever color fabric you want, giving you plenty of room for lemonade stand branding! The links below will take you to the best deals on PVC materials for this project.

 

3. Extra Large DIY Lemonade Stand (E-Seedling)

This final lemonade stand project is the most ambitious and is ideal for larger operations or even farmer's market displays! This build could end up being a little pricey, but the end result is worth it. This DIY lemonade stand looks professional and is not child-sized like the others. You can use this stand for all kinds of events. Because it is made of PVC, it can easily be disassembled and reassembled, making it easy to transport!
