Nice
I've used p.v.c. for sculpture. To get a nice bend and no kinks, use a heat gun. I filled the p.v.c. with Sand, which helps the bend (without kinks!). I used painters tape to seal the ends, bent it, then let it cool. Once cool, you can remove tape and then the sand. It WILL get very hot, so let it cool ! Test it on a small area/bend first as each heat gun has different temperatures ! It is easy to scorch or melt a hole in p.v.c., so caution is advised. Slso, wear a respirator! And, obviously, keep the kids away !
Once cool, it will hold its shape, but you may want to keep your conduit nearby so you can "guestimate" your arch/length, etc….
Some great ideas here ! Just an F.Y.I. for any "newbies", if you are trying to keep smaller critters OUT of your garden , you want "hardwire cloth" – NOT chicken wire ! 😉
