PVC Pipe Hockey Net How to

     The obvious goal of my project is to help the reader accomplish their intended task with as little adversity as possible. I will need to make the instructions in a organized fashion with the next step to be easily found and understood. The persuasive goal is to create the instructions in a way that the reader will find it to without a doubt be worth it to read instead of trying to figure it out themselves. These instructions will help the audience build a hockey net out of PVC piping. There is not anything special the audience will need to know to use the instructions effectively. But all of the equipment used can be found at a home improvement store. In order to build the net. you will need PVC piping, mesh netting, a table saw, zip ties, and PVC connectors. Once ready to start, you will decide how large the net will be and purchase enough material to build that size. If something isn't working, look back at the instructions to make sure you did not miss a step. 

     I chose my topic through a request and mine has some similarities to two other requested topics. One such topic is how to build a marshmallow gun(http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Marshmallow-Gun). Some similarities of my to this is that many of the same materials will be used, and there will be measuring and cutting of the PVC pipes required. Some differences are the size of the end product which means different amounts of material required, as well as some different connections needed. In my instructions I could borrow the ideas of the type of illustrations because it seems to catch the readers eye. But I think I will avoid only having closeups of each instruction and have pictures of what the project should look at progressions of the build. Another similar requested topic is how to build a potato launcher(http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Potato-Launcher). Similarly to the gun it will also require similar materials ad well as measuring and cutting of PVC pipe. But the potato gun requires more intricate instructions and the usage of electricity. I may use similar illustrations but I feel as the though some of the instructions aren't detailed enough. 

     Some research I will have to do is to look up what diameter PVC piping would make the net sturdier. I will also need to find out what type of mesh netting could be used on the net as well as the best way to attach the netting to the pipes in a way that will keep it together.

Directions

1. Purchase 6 90 degree connectors, 2 T shaped connectors, 2, 3 pronged connectors, and 5, 10 foot poles of 2 inch diameter PVC pipe, and 48"x 72" mesh netting.

2. Cut the PVC piping into 1, 6 foot length, 2, 4 foot lengths, 8, 3 foot lengths, and 1 5 foot length.

3. Attach 4 of the 3 ft. pipes on opposite ends of the T shapes connectors.

4. Connect the 2 T shape connectors together with the 5 ft. pipe.

5. Connect 90 degree connectors to the other ends of the 3 ft. pipes.

6. Connect the remaining 4, 3 ft. pipes to the connected 90 degree connectors.

7. Connect 2, 90 degree connectors pointing in an upwards direction to 2 ends on the same connection ends of the pipes in step 6.

8. Do the same thing as step 7 but point the connections down.

9. Connect 2 4 ft. pipes to the other ends of these connections.

10. Attach 90 degree connectors pointing towards each other at the ends of the 3 ft. pipes.

11. Connect these two connectors with a 6 ft. pipe.

12. Spread the netting to cover the outsides of the PVC pipes and connect it to the pipes with the zip ties.

13. Enjoy!

One potential graphic would be a picture of what the final product should look like, and I would create it by taking a picture of a previously assembled net.
