build the frame first, like the legs and such, then screw the PVC on through the bottom of the wood and into the bottom of pipe, if you go through the top the pipe will break eaiser at the holes

put a 2x4 under them, use liquid nails on them duct tape them down tightly and sit in glue for a night. then just screw in at the ends were the openings of the pipe are, what i did and works great.
