As discussed elsewhere in this forum, if you're still struggling to find PVC endcaps for the practice field tetras or goals, here's a couple of hints.....especially for the goal units.

1) Use plastic tie-wraps to hold together the corners of the goals. Just drill holes through both ends of all six (6) goal pieces and "thread" the tie-wrap through three poles at each corner. leave the tie wraps loose until the goal is assembled, then "cinch" them up.

2) If you have the PVC end caps but not enough "clovers" to hold the corners together, go look for "pipe strap" in the plumbing section. It is soft metal, comes in a roll and is perforated every 1/2" or so. Just cut into short segments and bolt through three pieces of the pipe strap, connecting each corner of the goal. Bend down the sharp ends too.
