I have some galvanized sections for a hoop greenhouse which need to be
bent and/or straightened. The tubing is 2" OD. Any suggestions how to
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'.


2 inch pipe, 10 foot long, six foot radius.......You're going
to need a lot of leverage. You better find a way to extend the
lever arm.
