Default Re: Tube bending for a Bimini top....???

I was thinking electrical conduit as it would be easy to bend (with pipe bender of course).

For the top, since there are going to be no front supports, sewing a "tube like" sewing design ...or as my wife said....a "sock like" slid on and off would perhaps work well. The frame could just be left bolted on and then remove the "sock" for truck travel.

Augiedoggy....the aluminum "square channel" would be something for me to look at. Can you bend that using a pipe bender? Or is a press needed? (I don't have a press or access to one)

Thanks for all replies! All good stuff!!
