FlowTube Quick Self Build Assembly Guide

How To Design and Build FlowTube Structures

FlowTube is specifically designed for ease of assembly, disassembly and reuse. No specialist tools or training are required, just a measuring tape, a way to cut the pipe and a 5mm Allen key.

Three simple steps: design, cut and build the structure, then use and re-use it … again and again.

Alternatively we can take your brief and supply you with CAD drawings, rendered images and deliver the final builds constructed in our warehouses.

For most structures the design is a simple sketch to determine the lengths of tube and types of joint required.  
Alternatively we can take your drawings and produce photo-like rendered images and CAD drawings. 		Measure the tubes and cut to the required length. Assemble the tubes and joints using a single 5mm Allen Key.

Re-use
The structure can be disassembled and re-used to build new structures.
