1" PVC Desk Riser Leg Brackets

This is a bracket used to make 1" PVC legs for a desktop riser (monitor shelf, monitor stand or whatever you want to call it).

You need to print 4 brackets and attach them to the bottom of a suitable board. Then cut 4 even lengths of 1" PVC pipe for the legs.

Each bracket requires 3 wood screws, use #6 or #8 of length 1/2"-3/4" depending on the thickness of your board material.
