also I dont see how this is an example of sustainability as your using only manufactured materials, weather or not there recycled it will still be land fill material at some point.
we had these on our tree nursery, when I was young. pvc is not an optimal material as the sun will weaken the material over time and the hoops will eventually break. galvanized tubing is the only option for long term use. an alternative to actually bending these pvc pipes would be to use 35-45 degree angle fittings, to not put undue stress on the pipes.
