FORMUFIT PVC Library is Live (Beta Test)

Our FORMUFIT Free PVC Plans library is now live, in Beta.

Check out any of our freely available PVC plans, which have been designed to be simple to build and provide all of the parts and tools necessary for successfully building the project. In addition, each plan includes a Google SketchUp document, which can be used to view the construction or used to modify the design to fit your needs.

We've split the library up into several different areas of interest:

Pets & Dog Agility: PVC Plans for Pet owners looking for plans to build Dog & Cat Beds, Bird Perches and Dog Agility equipment, such as weave poles, jumps and pause boxes/tables.

PVC Furniture: PVC Plans that include designs of some general patio furniture, temporary party furniture for weddings and events, as well as some outdoor pool furniture.

Autos & Garage: PVC plans for items generally related to Automobiles & Garage use, such as storage, truck bed extenders and auto body work tools.

Greenhouse & Garden: PVC Plans for Greenhouses, Cold Frames & Hoop houses, as well as some yard tools and structures to make life in the garden and yard easier.

House & Home: PVC Plans to make tasks in the home easier, or to help with storage needs for laundry, home offices and basement storage.

Kids & Family: PVC Plans for the kids that include playhouses, sleds, sprinkler style toys and more. Business & Office: PVC Plans to make office tasks easier, such as file carts, shelving and storage systems.

Hobbyist: PVC Plans for the technical hobbyist, such as radio operators, robotics fans and Arduino developers.

As mentioned, the PVC Library is in Beta testing. This means that there are a limited amount of plans currently listed, and there may be a few bumps in our design of that segment of our site. Let us know if you come across anything unusual!

We’re also looking for assistance with building our Free PVC Plans library. If you have an idea, whether it be a sketch on a napkin, or something you’ve built before, let us know. If you plan becomes a fixture within our PVC plans library, we’ll give you $25 in store credit. You can get more info on submitting ideas here.

We plan to update the PVC Library with HUNDREDs of new plans over the coming months, and will be adding several plans each week to various categories, so check back often!

PVC Jump Cups Now Available.

After being asked (begged?) to carry them for some time, we now offer 1” and 3/4” PVC Jump Cups for your Dog Agility projects. Both the 1” and 3/4” Jump Cups meet AKC and USDAA requirements for Dog Agility Obstacles.

For those unfamiliar, Jump Cups are snap-on attachments that are used to suspend a ‘jump pole’ between two perpendicular poles on either end for Dog Agility Jumps and other agility equipment.  They are ideal for training as it allows the ‘jump pole’ to fall off easily without tripping your pet.

FORMUFIT Jump Cups feature smoothed edges that wont snag fur or skin, snap-on capability that secures firmly to 1” or 3/4” PVC pipe, and the ability to slide the Jump Cup up or down to increase training strength.

The 1” PVC Jump Cups (sold in pairs) are available now in our PVC Accessories section here.

The 3/4” PVC Jump Cups (also sold in pairs) are now available in our PVC Accessories section here.
