5 Responses to FREE tubing bender for your garden hoop houses and low tunnels
Just made the bender yesterday and bent four hoops. Four more to go today. I found it hard work bending the tubing in the bender but it worked like a charm. Can’t wait for the New Jersey weather to start warming up again in March!
Thank you for this great idea! We made hoops for our 4 foot wide, 1 foot deep raised bed boxes using 10 foot lengths of 1/2 inch electrical conduit. Since the hoops were even, we didn’t need to cut off the ends. We just pushed them into the soil to the bottom of the box.
