Project Ideas
Business
Pre-cut DIY Irrigation Kits
Buy coils and produce standardized kits (e.g., 25 ft bed kits, 50 ft raised-bed kits) with pre-cut pipe, fittings, emitters and instructions. Market to urban gardeners and nurseries. Low-cost material, high perceived value; bundle small tools and offer how-to videos to increase margins.
Event & Pop-up Potable Water Rentals
Offer rentable potable water loops and quick-connect spigots for outdoor events, markets and film sets. Provide delivery, sanitary setup, pressure testing and pickup. Use the HD160 rating to reassure clients about safe pressure and reliability; charge per event plus sanitation fees.
Backyard Greenhouse/Hoop-Frame Kits
Sell cut-to-length hoop frames with fittings, anchors and cover material as small greenhouse kits for homeowners and schools. Offer assembly workshops or installation add-ons. Use the lightweight nature and flexibility of the 3/4" pipe to keep shipping and labour costs down.
Rural & Small-Scale Potable Plumbing Service
Offer installation services for short-run potable mains to outbuildings, gardens, tiny homes or livestock drinkers using HD160 pipe. Provide cutting, fusion or compression-connector assembly, pressure testing and certification. Target hobby farms, off-grid customers and contractors who need flexible small-diameter potable runs.
Maker Workshops & Educational Kits
Run paid classes and sell educational kits teaching people to build hoop houses, simple irrigation, water play installations and art projects using potable PE pipe. Combine class fees with kit sales to create recurring revenue; partner with community gardens and schools for steady demand.
Creative
Custom Raised-Bed Drip Ribbon
Cut the 3/4" potable pipe into runs sized for each raised bed, add barbed emitters or punch small holes, and build a hidden, flushable drip manifold with compression tees and end caps. Use the HD160 rating to run longer mains and bury them under mulch; great for efficient vegetable and herb watering with a tidy, long‑lasting look.
Hoop-House / Mini Greenhouse Frames
Bend sections of the flexible 3/4" PE into hoops and anchor them with rebar or stakes to create lightweight greenhouse frames for garden beds or nursery benches. The pipe's flexibility and UV-stable black color make quick, inexpensive frames that snap together with simple fittings and support poly plastic or shade cloth.
Portable Camping/Showcase Water Station
Build portable potable water systems for camping or vendor booths: cut coil lengths, add quick‑connects, inline filters and a shower head or beverage spigot. Coil and reel the line for storage. Because the pipe is rated for drinking water, you can safely offer compact, gravity or pump-fed potable stations.
Kids' Backyard Water Play Circuit
Design a safe, low-pressure recirculating water play installation using short runs of potable PE pipe, clear viewing sections, small pumps and removable nozzles. The pipe's potable rating ensures water used for sensory play remains safe, and modular fittings let you rearrange the circuit for variety.
Protected Wiring Conduit & Garden Sculpture
Use the PE pipe as an aesthetic conduit for low-voltage landscape lighting cable or as the skeleton for garden sculptures and arbors. The black pipe hides wiring, resists UV, and can be shaped into sweeping curves for modern art pieces or functional trellises.
