My winter project is to make a 3 Bar Bimini for our SO 37. I'm confident I can do all the canvas work but I would much appreciate the forums input to making the Arches. I am planning to use 25mm 1.5mm wall polished stainless steel and in particular need advice on how to achieve the 2 90 degree bends. on each. I have seen comments that it is possible to use pipe benders with formers, something like this one from ebay
Pardon our interruption...
Having read this thread Bending Stainless Tube
I intend to hire a similar bender to do the main corners on each arch and I understand the pipe will need further polishing. What advice and experience does the forum have for the bending and polishing process!
I see that I may also need to make a Crown arch of a large radius and wondering if there is a way to do this by hand!
All thoughts and Input gratefully received.
