Default Covering PVC posts

I am making a paludarium for my fire-belly toads. For the land part I am supporting it with four PVC pipes. I am still in the planning stages and quite a newb. My question is how can disguise these so there are not four ugly poles in my tank. Thanks!

You could paint over the poles with non-toxic, waterproof paint but they would still be random poles. You could also cover them with sphagnum moss or pieces of bark and seal it for a more natural feel, I don't think these would last long underwater though. Im sorta a newbie at Paludariums myself so if you are going to take one of my suggestions, you should look further into them. Hope that helps!

Maybe try gluing rocks around them like a brick layer would? They will still be 'posts' but at least they wouldn't look like pvc plumbing.
