Broom for slide out roofs

[nailbender]

I don't like to walk on the Monty's roof, so I made a few changes to a push broom to clean the slide out roofs. It cost under $18.00 for the push broom, pvc pipe, and fittings. I used two sets of threaded fittings to disassemble it for storage. A painters telescopic extension handle could be used instead of the broom handle if a longer handle is needed

Okay Don how did you get into my brain and copy this idea. LOL I had this all figured out but haven't done it yet. Did you paint the PVC pipe? Good job! I was afraid the PVC pipe wouldn't be strong enough. Glad you tested it!

OH NO! There goes my Patent Pending once again Ya already got me on the hinged table idea!

Seriously, great idea!

Sue I have been waiting for you to post your idea, but I become impatient.
The pipe is 3/4" pvc and a little wobbly but works. If something ever breaks, I will try using 1" pvc.

Way cool idea and it works!!!!! Way to go. I've got to build one.

Would a 3/4 inch dowel rod inside the pvc components add to its strength and stability?

Steve
A wood dowel might help, but not sure it is needed, I have only used it a couple of times so far. If it becomes too wobbly, I will try your idea, thanks for the suggestion.

Good idea Steve. I think I'll go with heavier PVC first and then if that doesn't work, use the dowel.
