Possible connection details

Bolts

Put the PVC hubs together by threading a 1/4" bolt through the holes, leaving long enough bolts to attach covering

Hubs

Hubs connect all of the struts together to form the structure. 

Gumdrops

Connected by gumdrops for small scale experiment 

Welding

Connected in the center via welding

Overlapping pipes

Connected by steel pie with bolts, this is a quite good method to be considered.
Overlapping connection with each other. This way might not work due to the scale of the structure.












PVC Hub

Connected by cutting PVC hub as a connector and fixed with cable ties

Bracket

Connected by bracket with bolts through timbers
