I designed this structure to build a raised garden bed or greenhouse, using 25mm PVC pipes as the main frame and 20mm pipes as auxiliary supports for added strength

 

I have also included a first version of clips that attach to the pipes, allowing you to hang or connect items with zip ties, or to help secure shade cloth or clear plastic for a greenhouse

 

The pipes should be cut to your desired lengths, and holes drilled to connect with the printed parts. You can connect everything using the screws I've designed and included in the project, or with zip ties. For my first garden bed, I used zip ties

 

To assist with assembly, I've designed a tool for cutting and drilling holes in the PVC pipes to help create the structure. You can find it here

You can build the project in a square or rectangular shape, with long sides, and with or without auxiliary pipes for reinforcement

The main structural pipes are 25mm, and can be reinforced with 20mm pipes by connecting the short sides (typically the narrower dimension) or the main lines (the longer dimension). If you opt for reinforcement, you can choose to reinforce only one side or both. In my example, I decided to use a single side support on each short side and two supports on one of the long sides. The other long side is reinforced with a single T-piece, which will also serve as a support for tomatoes

 

PRINTING GUIDE
For a standard rectangular garden bed, approximately 3m long by 1m wide, I propose printing the following parts:
-4 x 01: one for each corner. The diagonal side is used for reinforcement between the sides with 20mm pipe
-2 x 02: for this, a single side reinforcement is sufficient. If your design has a very long side, I recommend also using part 03, which is a cross joint that allows one of the 20mm pipes to fully cross, while you'll need to cut the other side in two
-2 x 04 and 2 x 05: each pair of these parts connects the long side with the short side. The amount of pipe needed will vary depending on your chosen distance
-4 x 06: the foot for supporting or burying the structure
-1 x 08: vertical support for the other long side. You can use several of these if you wish to reinforce further
-07: pass-through pieces that secure the pipes and printed parts. Zip ties can also be used
-09: clips for hanging or securing fabrics on the 25mm pipes
-10: Caps for the openings of the parts that connect to the side pipe

 

I recommend printing with PETG or ASA, as these parts will be exposed to outdoor conditions. Use a minimum of 4 wall lines and gyroid infill

 

If you want an additional structure for your tomatoes or vertical plants, I've also designed one that you can check out here

UPDATE 1: I've uploaded an STL part (Merge25mm.stl) which is useful if you have 25mm pipe scraps and want to create a longer pipe, for example, to make a ground support for the pipe (as shown in my photos)
