I ordered everything shipped to my home from Lowes.com: a 48" shop light, fluorescent bulbs, 1" & 1-1/4" pipe, tee & elbow fittings, end caps, and lag & eye bolts— all for about $50. Since the order was over $49, shipping was even free.
I ordered the 1-1/4" pvc pipe as three 5’ lengths so it could be shipped and I’d have some extra, just in case. The 1" pipe came in 2-foot lengths already. I did not glue the pieces together--they are secure enough just pushed together and this way it can be dismantled for storage.
A word of warning to those with small hands: squeezing the pipe tool to cut the pipe was very, VERY HARD. Even with both hands I could barely get it done, and my hands are larger than most women’s. If you can’t get help from someone with strong, large hands to use this type of pipe cutter, you may want to plan some other method to cut the pipe.
