CUMBERLAND APRON FIX/UPGRADE

SO I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF MY FLIMSY APRON ON MY CUMBERLAND AND DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I STUDIED IT FOR A WHILE AND AFTER TRYING SOME STUFF I HAD LAYING AROUND IN THE GARAGE I TOOK A TRIP TO HOME DEPOT. I BOUGHT A 10' STICK OF 1/2" PVC PIPE 4 90'S 4 TEE'S AND ONE CROSS IT CAME OUT TO $6 I HAD ZIP TIES LAYING AROUND . GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE AND STARTED PUTTING IN WORK AND IN ABOUT A HALF HOUR IT WAS FINISHED (PIPING BACKGROUND WAS HELPFUL). SO HERE IT IS [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

You made one for me too right.

YEAH I MADE YOU ONE $29.99 OUT THE DOOR

Does the frame add any weight to your apron?  

I've seen guys use tub lids for this fix.

Nice job on the frame but check this one out. I recently converted over to this method and it works great. It also helps that the crossbar got beefed up to a solid 1 1/2" diameter pipe instead of the two piece 1 1/4" pipe.

dosomedirt,
Can you give a report with a comparison as to what you like with the frame vs without?

Haven't got it out on the water yet but I might get it out tonight then I'll give a review. I've seen the tub lid upgrades but I like to see my feet just in case a doggie sneeks up on me I have some reaction time
 

So I made it out last night and I didn't notice any significant weight difference but the apron was sturdy and fit like a glove. The zip ties really helped out with any sagging of the apron between the pvc open areas and it floats. All in all I'm happy with the upgrade and I can see my feet  

Right on dosomedirt!
Looks like a fairly easy upgrade.

Well done bro I like this very much the DIY crowed get's it done again.
