Checked the drawing I have and couldn't find the size of the tubing used for the frame. Any help on that will be appreciated.

Regards,
Jim

The bows are made of ordinary galvanized 3/4" inside diameter pipe. The outside is 1 1/8" or thereabouts. This is the stuff plumbers use.

I think the thick plumbers pipe was for the "across" three main bows.. but the lengthwise stays , with the squashed in indentations for bolting to the bows, was a thin tubing ..just a guess ...

Mike

PS the 1" OD plumbers galv. stuff here , which has a 3/4" inside diameter ..is threaded with 3/4" BSP threads

Mike, I checked the bows and it looks like it's all made of the pipe and not tubing. Where it's flattened out it's over 1/4" thick.

Hmmmm interesting. You would need a good strong press and some dies to shape that pipe ..more work for us
