My scarecrow started rotting after 3 weeks so I tried PVC pipe instead
Built my first scarecrow last spring with wood posts like everyone else. By week 3 in the humidity here in Georgia it was leaning bad and the arms had snapped off. Swapped to 1 inch PVC from Home Depot for $12 total and drilled drain holes in the bottom. Been standing strong for 8 months now through rain and storms. Anyone else ditch wood for something weird that actually lasted?

PVC works way better than you'd think. Made mine out of it last year and it's still standing like a champ.

Wait, you built a whole PVC structure and it's actually been holding up for over a year? That's wild, I thought that stuff would just crack in the sun or something. I've only used it for little plumbing projects, never anything that big.
