Hi all,
If making a light rail to hold 2 x TMC 1000ND LED Tiles, can anyone advise on material and diameter of the pipe that I should use to ensure that the structure is strong enough?
Ive looked at copper but as a soft metal I doubt its strength (although I dont think 1000ND tiles are all that heavy), People in america seem to use galv electric conduit piping but I cannot find anything other than plastic in the UK so far. I have also found both round and square steel tubing at a hardware store but am unsure whether this can be easily bent at home without needing to buy a special bender.
I have a bender for your normal plumbing pipes like copper but im unsure of steel.
Anyone done this before?
