How to Bend Hoops for Low Tunnels, Raised Beds and MORE

[@leiyu3070]

Thank you for sharing the technique on how to bend 1/2 conduits! This is exactly what I was looking for.

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

Excellent, I'm glad it was helpful!

[@harveyashworth6071]

Will it wok on 3/4 EMT?

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

I haven’t tried it with 3/4, but it may be a bit more difficult to bend.

Very useful tip for bending pipe, Greg.

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

Thanks! I figured it might be handy to know that.

[@donaldcowick4280]

You might try turning the pipe around at 1/2 way and bending the other side might help with quality.

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

Yes, that would probably improve the symmetry of the finished hoops.

Love the pipe bending for hoops. Pipe more firm then pvc I use.

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

It is, it should last a long time and it’s about the same cost as PVC.

[@janmorrison4141]

Thanks for this - great timing and you are so clear with your process!

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

You’re welcome, and thank you!

Might it not be better to make quarter circles then join with a T joint allowing a cross bar between hoops at the top ?

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

You could do that, too, for better stability.

[@bun9000]

Or just lash another pipe to the half circles as a “perlin”.

[@tanjowil9743]

Good idea.👍

[@Beng12952]

What diameter and thickness is this pipe?

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

It’s sold as 1/2 (half) inch electrical conduit, at least in the US. A metric equivalent might be 13mm

Thanks for the share...anyone ever ask you who was buried in your back yard? 😳😆

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

Haha not yet! They make great Halloween decorations. 😁
