About this model
These are connectors for holding together 0.5 inch PVC tubing (see note) in hexagonal towers similar to giant honey combs. They have a 0.5 inch space between the vertex of the connectors and the surface on which the PVC tubing rests. So if you want a hexagon where the distance between vertexes is 12 inches (as I have in my pictures), then you will want to cut 11 inch lengths of piping (11 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 12). My garden bed was not quite deep enough to support two full hexagons front to back, so I made connectors to allow cells with flat backs. Also, I wanted supports in the front corners, so I made connectors for poles which only connects sideways to one vertex. There are "top" versions of each type of connector, for a nice finished look at the top. You can mix and match connectors for whate…
