Building a custom hoop house or low tunnels with row cover for your garden doesn't have to be expensive. In this video, I demonstrate how to construct a DIY conduit tubing bender using simple, repurposed scrap materials found around the workshop.
Video Highlights:
Design Concept: How to calculate the perfect radius for your hoop house based on your garden bed dimensions (0:25 - 0:45).
Building the Jig: A step-by-step walkthrough of creating your bending jig, including marking the pivot point, swinging the arc, and setting up the screw-based guide (1:16 - 2:23).
Bending Technique: Tips for successfully bending 1/2-inch conduit to create uniform, professional-looking garden hoops (2:35 - 2:50).
Pro-Tips: Advice on reinforcing your jig, managing tension, and why this method is best suited for 1/2-inch conduit rather than thicker materials (2:55 - 3:21).
