Other parts are elbows and t's. <br /><br />The wood is simply 1x6 spruce. We did not glue the joints to make future moves easy. However, it should be fixed to the wall near the top for stability. I used copper pipe hangers-which are flexible-for this. <br /><br />BCCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121447451823366921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693843203816089232.post-58680113094706257132010-08-24T11:09:59.201-04:002010-08-24T11:09:59.201-04:00ps. we spray painted the whole thing with matte bl...ps. we spray painted the whole thing with matte black metal paint.Bess Callardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03428365521524625060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693843203816089232.post-30416017363625155442010-08-24T11:09:05.180-04:002010-08-24T11:09:05.180-04:00Thanks!!

The wood was from home depot too, we cut it down and sanded it. I would suggest investing in a pipe cutter, Charlie cut it all by hack saw!!
