If going below ground. Before you start, make sure you have the drainage sorted and an accurate fix on the water table.

I used the engine hoist as a lifter to push the kinked tubes back into place and then I lashed angle steel (actually garbage day pickup bedrails) with 550 cord across the weak spots. I found a lumber man who sawed and delivered 5/4 white pine boards 6" x 8'. Starting during early, I dismantled the broken wooden arches and one by one reinstalled good wood. So far the only problem is some of my existing arches are thicker. Another trip to the hardsware store for longer bolts.

Tomorrow will be the challenging part of the resurrection (it is Easter weekend after all) will be to build the new arches in situ for the bent steel. But, hope springs eternal.
