Big Mike you can tailor them to your own needs but his the way I made mine. If I remember correctly the 1 1/2 pvc pipe that I used was ten foot long. So I just measured how high up I wanted them and then cut them off at that length. Also I put wye's on the end of mine and caps on the bottom so they wouldn't wear out so fast. I put a hole in the cap so water could run out. I'm going to try and get out there before I go on vacation. Are you still out there every day? If I make it your welcome to look mine over and see if that's what you want. So here's mine 1 1/2 inch cap for the bottom 1 1/2 inch wye on top 11/2 inch pvc pipe cut to length. Oatey Cement I also fastened a link of heavy chain to mine with a pipe strap so I can tie them down tight if I want to. I use bungi cords and rope to keep them from moving around. If you want them heavier duty I guess you could go to the next size pipe. Take care my friend. riverviewsteve

ditto for me, but i don't cap the end because some of the conduit are barely off the pile enough to fit the pipe
and i direct tie mine to the upright of the rail with small rope!
