"We had to remove an 80+ year old shade tree and wanted to have shade on our deck again. I found Maker Pipe via YouTube, and after watching so many amazing builds I ordered the Maker Pipe minis. My husband and I my used them to come up with the design and count of the connectors we needed (the minis are a great tool) for our deck shade build. Putting everything together was easy and quick because we had all the parts from the pre planning and mock up with the minis. I am hoping our local Ace Hardware will start stocking your products!" - John & Becca
