Recommendations on Leaping Arches Material

[ElSalZi]

I am looking at the airseeder hose on eBay an have noticed that there are 2 different sizes, 25mm ID & 32mm ID. I see that most are going for the 32mm - is the other one too narrow?
The pigtails are 13.5mm and the pixel strip is smaller than that, so I don't se why the smaller hose wouldn't be used more ... Can someone shed some light on this for me, please?

i have used 25mm HDPE and 38mm LDPE... i prefer the 38mm one, but they both do the job well.

I used the one with 32mm inner diameter for 2 reasons:
1) slightly better light diffusion (provided your strip or lights stay flat (one or 2 hot spots but not really noticeable)
2) 32mm conduit pieces fit in quite snugly for making feet.

Has anyone tried the pex pipe for the arches? I tried a piece with an led strip in it and it gave a nice diffused light. I think I can get it up to 1 1/2 in. not totally sure on cost at this time, will check that out further.

@Duncan10 Unfortunately the pex in Australia, is all black or brown...

 

[Duncan10]

@heathwithnoteeth Interesting all the pex up here for your household plumbing is white red blue or kind of the same colour as the ldpe tubing you guys talk about. I will have to check with the farmers around to see if there is any airseeder hose of the same type as you guys see.

Good link but I can only find clear or coloured hoses... did you find a cloudy one in their selection?

 

[Heath-LightsOnTapley]

Second link seems to offer a better price, and cheaper shipping than what is available from Esdan.

 

[Heath-LightsOnTapley]

I am getting a lot higher price with the bottom colliermiller link... must be region specific... I'm in SA
$224 - 30m on the colliermiller link (and $21 freight on top)
$140 - 30m on the ebay link (add freight... i think it was about $60 when i enquired)

I can get air seeder hose in WA for about $91 for 20m. If anyone in WA wants some let me know as I can get discount for more than two rolls. Just waiting to hear back this week on total discount

I’d be in on that! When I looked at Collier it said $8.80/m.
Let me know how it goes!

They don't have it on their website, but sell it via ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Air-Seeder-LDPE-Hose-32mm-x-38mm-POLYETHYLENE-tube-grain-fertilizer-seeds-clear-/271787936343
