DIY Golu stand | Golu steps - USA

This is a quick video on how we made Golu stand using PVC pipes. As I mentioned in the video, the best thing about this is that it does not take much storage space once we dismantle it. We purchased the materials from Homedepot and Amazon. I strongly recommend numbering the pipes step-wise before you take them apart so it is easy to put them together the next time without confusion. As my dolls are light in weight, this stand works great for our Golu.

Excellent excellent excellent! Just what I am looking for. Appprox how many connectors (each shape) did you use for the 11 steps?

[@vidyakotika1770]

Thank you :) actually the number differs depending upon where we are using them . For example we need about 22 , 3 way connectors we use at corners and around 20 of T connectors if you are planning 11 steps .

Great idea! How light are your dolls? I have a few older mud ones that I'm wondering if they would add up to too much.

[@vidyakotika1770]

Thank you ! Most of my dolls are papier-mâché or kondapalli dolls . If I am making another stand I would definitely go for a thicker pipe. 1/2 inch pipes worked fine for my dolls but for the last step as the pipes are long they were a little wobbly . And we had to add a clamp to the wall To keep it stable. Weight wise it’s not a problem. Hope it’s helpful

[@ramanathansanthanam5579]

Thank you for the details. With 1/2 inch pipe were you able to place all clay dolls or more were mesh dolls?

[@vidyakotika1770]

I mostly have plaster of paris and kondapalli dolls. If I am making another stand, I would surely go far thicker pipes. Though they could take the weight, they were weak and shaky as the length increased. We had to clamp the last pipe to the wall to keep it sturdy.

​@@vidyakotika1770that's very helpful, thank you for sharing

Hi, Does the connectors increased your actual dimensions ? How did you compensate the extra inches in connectors?

[@vidyakotika1770]

Hi , yes they will slightly change the dimension so we cut the plywood after we completed the stand. Basically, we just gave a little extra room for the planks , like 1/2 inch or so.
