Rainbow Arches

[lizardking]

i have just thrown together 2 arches to see how they work 1x 4 m 20 mm conduit i use the orange as it's a bit thicker and seemed to get a better bend i cut the flared joiner off the conduit and then measured 1.5 m and cut there so the arch itself is about 2.495m and 1.5 m wide and used 2 90deg joiners on the ends to join the arch to the base i have some more pieces to add for stability then paint and lights

Sorry - fixed the font on original post. It's HDPE pipe that we get from McMaster-Carr in the U.S. I took the Johnson Family Christmas light arch and modified it to create embedded arches (Johnson had the original idea to put strip inside tube for arches). The lighting is just ws2812b strip from Ray Wu.

Great idea mararunr. I just purchased these tube a few weeks ago with the idea to follow in Matts foot steps, ut now seeing your version I am hooked. If you end up creating a how-to vid please let us know. Thanks

perfect timing to celebrate the decision in the USA.

Very cool idea. Nice to see new variations on the arch.
