Pipe Cutting
Use your measuring tape and mark the PVC pipe every two and a half feet (2-1/2'). You should have three marks that section off the pipe into four pieces. Label the sections A, B, C, and D. Pieces A and D should be the end pieces.
Use a hack saw to cut the pipe at the marks you have made. You should now have four pieces that are two and a half feet in length.
Set aside the two pieces that have the flat edges from the manufacturer's cut (A and D). The cuts on these ends tend to be perfectly perpendicular. You will use these ends to measure from when marking the hole for the bolt.
Use the inner piece (B) and mark it half way (15"). Mark the last piece thirteen and a half inches (13-1/2") from any end.
Note: You may mark both pieces at the half way point (15") if you wish. The offset on the second piece is to have the end of the leg bases flush when the stand is folded-up.
Use your hack saw and cut at the marks. You should have two fifteen inch (15") pieces, one thirteen and a half inch (13-1/2") piece, and one sixteen and a half inch (16-1/2").
Repeat the above steps for the second piece of 10ft pipe.
