Ahh those pesky little "lessons learned" are more informative than a full set of plans.

Oops  PVC

So I'm out in this deluge washing the PVC bridge ( Wife thinks I'm nuts) so it can dry, before I paint it!
As I was hosing it down, I noticed that I forgot some thing!! 
Water leter outers!! Duhhh!!!!!!!!
As you look @ the sides, the chanel points up!
Also each upright forms a pocket!
So A drilling I go!
Rewashed and hosed it ,  and low and behold water is not colecting!!
So the bridge is sitting next to the furnace to dry!

 He said "pvs" but I think the bridge is "pvc" plastic.

 Please more details!

I went to Lowes and got the supplies!
I used the glue by the Manufacture of the pvc parts.
I also used brads as pins so bridge stays together!
I screwed some pieces together......
So, I still have to paint it.
I'll paint it red primer.
 
 
 
Bridge is just under 6' and is stronge enough.
