Description
I was having a lot of problems with cabbage moths and other creepy crawlies getting into my vegetable garden as well as some of the summer days being too hot so I decided to make a frame to add a shade cloth/insect barrier. The frame also doubled as a good place to zip tie some mesh for climbing vegetables such as beans and snow peas.
The cheapest option I could find to make the frame was using 20mm electrical conduit from my local hardware store and designing and printing fittings to join it all together.
There are four different fittings I made to assemble the frame
- 45 degree elbow to make the main frame
- small clip fitting to snap together bracing pieces to the 20mm conduit
- a larger clip fitting to snap together bracing pieces over existing fittings such as the apex of the frame
a 20mm clip fitting to aid in attaching the shade cloth so that its easily removable if needed
I added small holes in the fittings to fix with small m3 screws or you can use pvc cement to glue on.
I printed all fittings in ASA and made them 100% infill for strength.
