We've used PVC to frame the back of our pit for many, many years. We started with two big buckets, filled them with cement and sunk in the initial supports - this ensured the frame wouldn't tip over, but the buckets were a pain to transport. Since then, we've had a parent build us a pair of rolling cabinets that go in the back corners, and we built the frame supports into those - same basic concept, as all the weight is down low. The frame works alright and is repainted every few years, and is extremely cheap, considering we've used the same frame for 8 years now... but personally, I want us to get something that looks more professional.
