Details: 3/4" copper pipe (type L, thick wall) with 3/4" wood dowel running the length of the pipe and as far into the elbows as possible. This should add a lot of strength and crush resistance. Joints are glued with JB Weld. There are two copper rivets in each joint for added strength. All holes have a dab of silicone as well to seal the pipe. Because of the wood inside, it is advisable to waterproof the joints. A particular challenge was drilling the mounting holes to match the angle of the holes for those bungee hooks. Those holes are also filled with silicone at the final mounting. | Details: 3/4" copper pipe (type L, thick wall) with 3/4" wood dowel running the length of the pipe and as far into the elbows as possible.
