Yup, it’s everything….I sell PVC pipe, fittings, valves, etc for water & sewer applications, and pipe has gone up about 35-40%. Made in the USA, but they say getting the raw goods to make the stuff is tough to get.
Construction demand is at an all time high, people still paying the higher prices….no end in sight.
I make and sell Tip Downs, the frames are made from 1/2″ Schedule 40 PVC. Last year a 10′ piece was $1.99. This year it is $4.41, more than double the price. The cost of poles is higher, as well as all of the other parts, treble hooks, Line, Swivels, Eye screws, Snap Locks, Bolts, Wing nuts, sinkers, safety line. Add all of these up and I can see why things have gone up, I have only raised my price to cover the extra cost of shipping and PVC. But I switched to free shipping on 2 or more.
Remember everything that you touch has been on a truck at some point, with Sleepy Joe restricting oil drilling, fuel has raised the price of everything.
