Building a PVC C-rail

Hello cult,

So I have a pretty large supply of PVC pipe and I was wondering if it was possible to alter or bend the PVC in order to make a C rail instead of just straight PVC's.

If anyone has sucessfully made a C rail out of PVC or something let me know or if you have ideas throw them out there,

thanks!
 
If you're heating it directly with a torch I'd recommend trying not to huff anything that is released in the air.

The bend for a c rail is really mellow in the grand scheme of things and won't be that hard to do without kinking it.

Idk if this is the best way but if I was doing it I'd make my frame or at least a template first. Use the old pencil on a string to get a nice smooth curve. Then when bending it bend it to the perfect smooth curve instead of guessing and having some more of a bend in some spots and less than others.

I've never built a pvc c rail though so idk.
 
I made a rainbow this past fall, similar cuz of the bending but still different. Find some really skinny pvc, like .5" diameter I think they were and bcuz theyre so thin you can bend them without heating. I'm not sure about the frame but the rainbow was really fun and I think im gonna make a c as well
