I like how you mounted the bender to the vertical pole

[@trishapomeroy9251]

I have that same bender. We mounted it to a wall and had a hard time keeping the pipe from twisting. I REALLY appreciate that you mounted it to a post and showed how much easier it is to keep it straight! Thank you !!!

@@trishapomeroy9251 your welcome! After watching a video years ago when someone mounted it on a wall I thought a pole would give more room.

[@trishapomeroy9251]

@@KansasGardenGuy yeah! Not just more room, but also a way to pull down really straight! I missed the first two videos in this series. Checking them out now. Thanks again.

If you use a 12' bender and only use two pipes,does that work with the pipe union at the top? Or does it stress that joint at the top?

[@KansasGardenGuy]

@@gentlegiant3533 no that is how you would make the 12ft tunnel. That size takes only 2 of the sticks to make that.

If we flip the pipe, do we need the leverage bar in the first bending?, it look like hardly in the end of first bending.

[@KansasGardenGuy]

@@lifeandlearn. if I’m understanding you correctly after you flip the pipe to bend the last bends no you should not. It should be long enough for you to gain leverage to pull down. Your only using the bar the closer you get to the end because of the shorter the pipe gets.
I hope that answers your question.
