I know that plumbers bend the stuff all the time, but I hate plumbing, so
I've never tried! Possible project coming up on behalf of designer wife, who
fancies a low garden fence made of timber with copper pipe inserts.
I had an idea that it might look good if the pipe lengths were bent into
inverted U shapes, but I don't know how easy it is to bend the copper pipe.
How tight a bend might be possible .. is it possible to achieve a U shape?

You've had all the answers on this thread already so I won't bore you
with them again.

If she is into modern art you could do the whole thing with
compression fittings to make a unique fence. Only problem would be if
the local yobs have a King Dick spanner handy.....
