How do I make a garden arch out of PVC pipe?

Cut 12 1-1/2-foot lengths of PVC pipe. Attach three lengths of pipe to each end of each arch, using liquid nails and T-joints to connect them. When you stand the arches up parallel to each other, the open ends of the T-joints should point directly at each other. Let the liquid nails dry overnight.

How do you attach PVC pipe to wood?

Standard PVA wood glue and liquid nails are a little out of their element for gluing wood to PVC. I'd try a polyurethane based glue like Gorilla Glue, or maybe a two part epoxy. If you use Gorilla Glue, make sure to clamp the joint, since it expands 3-4 times in volume while curing.
