Larry Leonhardt Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I want to make 2 arches using 1 CCR, i know each arch has to be 8 ft long, but what would the distance between them be ? I'm talking about the distance of 1 arch, from end to end when bent ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pest Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 If you are ok with cutting the ccr you can make the seperation any thing you want. I few others have just put the ccr on the 2 pipes and had them right next to each other. Look in the ccr area of hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsinMaine Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 my CCR arches are sched 40 grey PVC. They are 7'0 apart at the bottom. They overlap in the middle 5". Doing so keeps your CCR 10" off of the ground if you have snow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Leonhardt Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 I guess i did not explain it right, i need the distance of a 8' pipe bent in half, what should the distance be at the bottom. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texascop Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I think 62" will work for you. That would be for each arch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Blair Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 62 inches is correct if the bend is a perfect semi circle. Why not just take the 8' pipe and bend it to your liking and measure the distance? Also remember the CCR is more than 16' long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Leonhardt Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 I don't have the pipe yet, i've bought the 3/4 T's and Crosses for the bottom, so the arches can set on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Saul Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I did mine at 6 feet apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericnagel Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I used 2' rebar, with 1' in the ground the 1' above. Grey (electrical) PVC bent from rebar to rebar, 62" in-between. No overlapping of the arches. CCR is about 12" above the ground (to allow for snow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rise Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Posted by Jim in aother topic. These are the demensions that I used. Worked great.each CCR is about 197"so each CCR would make 2 arches with a 1/2 circumference of about 98"the base of each arch with that circumference would be about 62", with a height of about 31"So I would put each piece of rebar in the ground at about 62" apart, making the length of area you would need about 20.5 feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
