No, but it sounds interesting.  PVC pipes are a handy and versitile material
building material.  I've used 20' lengths of PVC to make large "hoophouses" over
indeterminate tomatoes.  Inexpensive, easy to build and works great for keeping
the foilage dry and getting us through our often wet summers without blight
ruining the crop.  Lots of space and headroom too, we also great great results
with basil, eggplants and peppers grown in them.

I wrote a piece with step-by-step instructions for making a PVC hoophouse.  If
anyone is interested I can e-mail it to them. Or if no one objects I can post it
to the list - it's about 12k in size.
