use a nut and bolt on the very ends and then put a few screws in the middle somewhere

screw up from the bottom of the wood into the pipe. when you co this make sure you secure the pipes to the wood so they don't slip. i just taped the pipes on the ends and in the middle.
make sure the screws aren't too long either.

hey man if you dont want to worry about screws and such i would use 'liquid nails glue' i tried it out and it works beautifully there is no way that pvc will ever budge. im not even exagerating

^i used liquid nails and my pvc rail is not broken.

screws in the ends is the best. make them really tight though.

use screws and put them in the bottom of the wood and then into the bottom of the pvc, dont use nails unless you want to break your PVC
