I have some galvanized sections for a hoop greenhouse which need to be

bend or straighten the pipe?


Is this galvanized pipe or thinwall tubing or...?

What radius of bend/how long are the tubing sections?

Not a lot to work on here for context...


It's galvanized pipe. Uncertain of gauge. Pipes are 10' in length.
As a guess, not sure of radius of bend but would guess 3-6'.


That pipe is overkill, IME. But, you can pitch the roof and use
straight pipes ?

2 inch PVC is easier to get the radius...maybe not that big.
