For the tube that holds the big poles I wanted foam that fit in both ends and that made it a challenge to put the cap on and off. I didn't want to stuff the foam in every time I loaded it up so I came up with this idea to put in a joint 6 inches from the end. This essentially made a 6 inch cap that would hold the foam inside it. All the caps and half of the joint are glued together using PVC glue. You can see the silver sharpie marker lines indicating where the tube comes apart. By doing it this way I was able to stuff the foam rubber in both ends and not have to ever deal with it again. You'll also notice that I used a piece of parachute cord and some plastic tubing to make a handle for the end. If you have ever tried to pull apart a PVC tube you know it can be challenging. by putting the handle on the end it's a lot easier to pop off the end.
