PVC/plastic pipes and materials - where?

[mardy]

Hi all,
I'm having some trouble finding a place that would sell me plastic components to build a light stand and other photographic equipment. For instance, where would I buy the materials for this: http://www.diyphotography.net/pvc-backdrop-light-stand ?
I've already checked K-rauta, Etola, Clas Ohlson without success (and they couldn't point me to any other supplier either).
I've also browsed Biltema's catalogue, but I couldn't find them there either (but this might be due to my lack of Finnish language knowledge).

Anyone can help?

Hi try a normal plumbers merchants ! they have all sizes of pipe and are found on most industrial sites . just pop in pick up a catalog write down the lvi number and number of pieces you need sorted!

K-rauta, Rautia, Bauhaus, Starkki all have what your looking for. Don't forget to buy PCV glue if you plan to make your assembly permanent.

You have to check for those in the "putki" section and sometimes, "puutarha" section.
If you take a picture, it wil help.
It depends on which K-Rauta you went to. GO to one that has a "puutarha" and a Rauttakauppa section/store.
Bahaus also have those ( I have seen them there when I needed a T junction but didnt buy the pvc one )...
