2. Make another 5 of the same holes along the pipe with a step of 300 mm.
3. Similarly, accede from the second 2 meter and with two 1.5-meter pipes.
4. In the workpieces for steps, drill on both sides by the opening, retreating from the edge of 15 mm.
5. From sheet steel cut two clamps, drill on both sides by a hole at a distance of 15 mm from the edges.
6. Bend the clamp by giving it the surface of the pipe surface.
7. From the same sheet began to make closed clutches. Their free ends are better cooking or rolling. Couplings place at the level of the second step on top.
