LORisAwesome Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 When you say you want a 5 ft circle, do you mean 5Ft diameter or 5ft Radius? I couldn't remember the formula. I found this website which explains it. http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol2/circumference.html It is Circumference = Diameter * Pi. This should give you the length of PVC (Circumference) you need to make your circle. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJackal Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Here's an article on building a mega-tree. Just so happens it's a 10 footer. While he doesn't have a PVC base (he uses tent stakes), his diameter for the base is 8ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Have you thought about using EMT instead of PVC for your base? If you know someone with an EMT bender you can reference this how-to: http://www.woodinvillewonderland.com/images/EMT_Bending_2.0.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
