That's an excellent spacing for wrapping 3/4" pvc for arches and poles without experiencing the dreaded bulb-alignment issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to wrap my arches (4 new ones this year). I had planned on 1/2-inch, but I keep "hearing" experienced voices saying "3/4, 3/4, 3/4". This'll probably be the one time (OK, there was that one other, but we're not gonna talk about it!) when I'll listen to the voices . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
