Instructions:

1. If the pipes are not already cut into the correct dimensions, do so now.
2. First, connect the 2 2’ pipe to the 2 3’ pipe to make a rectangle, with the 3 way elbow connector. Do this step 2 times.
3. Next, connect the 4 6’ pipes into all 8 of the 3 way elbows.
4. Next, lay the netting on top of the pvc pipe structure, and make sure all the sides are covered evenly.
5. If the net is flying around, use some tape or string to connect the netting to the piping.
