    Nice! I really like the idea of the PVC scape. Well done!

    Looks great so far! What parts exactly did you use for the pvc, and threaded nylon rods. Im moving in a week and was wanting to set up my rocks like that for once I set them back up.

    The main part is the pvc cross as seen in the one pic. I drilled a hole in it and was able to atatch the 3/8 threaded nylon rod to it, then slide a 4' piece of pvc above the cross, in between a few nylon washers. Then finish the pvc base, drill 3/8" holes in the rock and slide them onto the nylon rod and secured it with a nut, then cut off the remaining nylon rod. The rocks have to be stacked in a balance way or the rods will bend.
