How to Build A PVC Lemonade Stand

Build a PVC Lemonade Stand for Kids | Easy DIY Summer Project

Summer is the perfect time for creativity, learning, and a little entrepreneurship. With FORMUFIT’s PVC Lemonade Stand Plan, kids can build their own bright, sturdy, and portable lemonade stand that’s fun to make and simple to use. It’s an easy way to keep them active while bringing the community together—one cup at a time!

Why Build a PVC Lemonade Stand?

Designed with kids in mind, this PVC lemonade stand stands at just the right height for 5 to 7-year-olds but can easily be adjusted for taller children by lengthening the lower PVC sections by about six inches. The stand features a shaded awning, a counter for serving drinks, and space underneath for a cooler or supplies.

Constructed entirely from Furniture Grade PVC pipe and fittings, this stand is lightweight, weather-resistant, and reusable year after year. The base design also allows you to add casters for easy movement or rolling setup days.

Features

• Easy to Build – No special tools needed. Just PVC pipe, fittings, and screws for attaching the awning fabric.
• Portable & Lightweight – Easily stored or hung in a garage when not in use.
• Customizable – Choose bright PVC colors to match your child’s style or your neighborhood event.
• Multi-Use – Ideal for lemonade sales, school fairs, church events, or kids’ kiosks.

Project Overview

The frame requires approximately 40 feet of 1-1/4” PVC pipe (or 35 feet if using 5-foot lengths). While plumbing-grade PVC can work, FORMUFIT Furniture Grade PVC pipe offers superior UV resistance and color options for a more professional finish.

Required PVC Fittings

Additional Accessories

Tip: A single 8-foot pine board will cover the full counter length. Many home centers will cut it to size for free—just ask!

Building and Customizing

Attach the counter using 1x8 boards, and secure the fabric for the awning and skirt with simple screws. For easy storage, the entire frame can be lifted and hung on a wall hook in your garage. Add wheels with FORMUFIT Caster Inserts if you want to roll it around the yard or driveway.

Once completed, your PVC Lemonade Stand will be ready for its first summer sales—and years of fun to come!
