Any of you folks using 2" pvc stands or is 3"/sched 40 the only size to use for weight/strength?

I had a 2" that lasted a year with heavy use and outside 24/7. The connectors got brittle and broke one after the other. I've got a wooden one now that I stained solid color and should last forever and probably cost the same amount of money to build.

We have 2 of them shatter and we were running 3" or 4" pvc.
been using a stand i build out of 3" SCH 40 for more than 5 years now. i use it all the time. ski is stored on it in the garage. ski sits on it in the bed of my truck when going to the beach. ski sits on it on the shore.
it sits really low to the ground, no more than 6 inches. dont remember the exact length bu it think its only about 3.5 feet long (any longer it the pvc would flex too much). its a really simple assembly and cheap too.
i'll check if i have a decent pic to show

I wouldn't mind seeing the pic if you're able to track one down. I wouldn't mind making a cheap beach stand.

I used abs. It's stronger. I have both 2 and 3 inch. The 2 inch will hold up a couch with some flex

I just built a pair out of 2" sch40 but added a cross member on the bottom, this helps prevent flexing, the added bonus is that when you place all 3 T's together you get a perfect 12" center for the support braces, made it 3' long, drilled holes in all corners and wont float away, perfect for the rocky shores in my area.
pics attached..$40 worth of pvc and elbows, 5 mintues of gluing..done deal
