Diy hoop bender measurements?

[ThangBom321]

Anyone have a diy hoop bender? I'm trying to find the measurements of the rounded part and the length from the end to end. I would like to be able to make one out of wood but much longer so that I only have to bend it a few times vs many times.

I'm specifically looking for the 20' we wide hoop but other sizes will be nice to know as well.

Thanks

ThangBom, you can take a string of 10ft length and pin one end down.  Now put a chalk on the other end and swing it around and draw a circle with it.  Now you have your curved part.  You can make it as long as you want. 

My 20ft bender is just sitting around not used now I am done with my project.  I could sell it to you at a discount if you wanted it.  I doubt I will be using it again.  Send a PM if you want it. 

And honestly, I don't think its worth your time to try and build one.  They have a very affordable one on buildyourowngreenhouse.com

The one I got was the mid grade one with a stand for it.  You can bend a hoop in about 30 seconds with it.

Awesome! PM sent! I though about that like and chalk idea already. I was even thinking of buying 30' worth of pvc pipe then arching it into a 21' wide arch. I would then trace that out and cut the wood to match. But, buying a used and good deal bender is even better!!
