screw it up threw the bottom, or drill a hole in the top and just drop the srew down through the hole if that makes sense

What i did was I took a 4X6 and drilled a hole thru it and then drilled a hole thru one half of the pvc tube. Then i took a bolt and put it thru both and put a washer and nut on the end to keep it in place

Drill in on the sides. Or better yet, throw away your pvc and get a rail welded for you, pvc gets too cold and shatters really easily. Already broke one this year.
