Build a PVC Lawn Bag Stand for Easy Yard Cleanup
Many cities now require the use of biodegradable paper lawn bags for leaf and grass clipping pickup. While eco-friendly, these bags often collapse or fold over while you’re trying to fill them — making yard work more frustrating than it needs to be.
That’s why we designed the PVC Lawn Bag Stand — a simple, reusable frame that keeps paper lawn bags upright while you work.
Simple Design, Big Convenience
This PVC Lawn Bag Stand slides directly inside your standard paper lawn bags, holding them open for hands-free filling. It’s perfect for dumping mower bags, collecting leaves, or managing garden debris — no more fighting to keep the bag upright. When the bag is full, simply lift the frame out and fold over the top.
Durable and Reusable Construction
Built using 3/4 in. 3-Way PVC Elbows and 3/4 in. 4-Way PVC Tees, this frame is sturdy, lightweight, and easy to assemble. Using 3/4 in. Furniture Grade PVC pipe ensures it can be used again and again — season after season.
Pro Tip: Use Green PVC
Note: White PVC can stain over time from grass and leaf clippings. To keep your stand looking fresh, we recommend building it with FORMUFIT Green PVC pipe and fittings, which resist discoloration and blend in perfectly with your outdoor environment.
