Folding and unfolding figure eight style collapsible hoops

[Toxickiss54]

Could you make a video on how to make a figure 8 hoop without it coming a part when you try to fold it?

@Toxickiss54 If you are getting gaps when you fold down your hoop it may be the brand of connector you are using. You need one that is very tight fitting. I purchased some in a bulk bag from Lowe's before that just don't work for this style hoop.

Thanks! Will this work for a 35" diameter, 3/4", 100 PSI?

@jjainchill I know this is old, but I had to change my email acct, sorry. I haven't made one under 39" so I'm not sure, but I think it is possible. I use 3/4" 100 PSI

what kind of tubing are those made of?

Hey there...did you have to have to file your connectors down at all, or just make the hoop like any other regular hoop but with 2 connectors instead of 1? Does bending it cause shiny/metallic/prism/glitter tape to buckle or do anything strange? Thanks for the video btw.

[BrittaBear]

No filing, two instead of one, the tape does crinkle a tiny bit, but not badly. You are welcome

Thanks for the tips - even after having one a while, I picked up some pointers!

Awesome, glad to be of help.
