Anybody do cyclone fence? Need a pipe bender...

Posted on 12/30/2015 1:03:19 PM PST by djf

OK, this is under the gardening topic, thats the closest I could find.

I had a YUGE fir tree come down at the beginning of December. Fortunately, it missed the house and shed.

But it pretty much wrecked my cyclone fence. It smashed and bent the top bars, but left the posts still standing straight. It caused the weave or whatever you call it to fold down.

So my first step was to buy new bars along the top, and the attachments that hold them to the posts. But the posts aren't straight, and I need to bend the bars. Not a whole lot of bend, but it needs some.

So any ideas/thoughts/suggestions on pipe bending is what I need. I remember working in a hardrock mine how we would bend the rails (there is a tool that holds the rail and allows a hydraulic jack to bend it), but no one in any hardware store seems to know about it.

TIA!

BTW, these are aluminum pipes/tubes, fwiw.

I don’t do damaged fences BUT I had a 543# bear do some damage to one and the Fence Guys cut the top rail and unlace the damaged section and laced in a new section and the trapper took care of the bear
