Bending rectangular tubing
I'm new to the forum, so thanks in advance for you help and patience with my noob questions...
I'm a weekend DIY type of guy and I like to do things myself rather than hire things out. I'm currently building a metal gate to replace a wooden one. The material I've chosen, based on aesthetics rather than strength, is 1.5"x3" mild steel A513 hot rolled rectangular tubing, .12 wall thickness. The original design was a simple rectangular gate with 45* cut joints. Apparently this wasn't enough of a challenge for my limited metalworking/welding skills, so the wife decided she wanted a gentle arch to the top of the gate.
The questions:
- Can this material be bent as described?
- If so, what type of establishment could I go to get the top section bent?
Many Thanks!
