Bendable metal rods #878061

Asked July 20, 2024, 7:03 PM EDT

In “Best of Hobby Farms” magazine,they had an article on County Extension Services. In that article, they showed a picture of a small greenhouse cover with metal rods. I want to know where I can find a source for rods like that. I need a supply source for building a greenhouse.

Do you know what type of rods they mentioned in the article? 

Many low tunnels are built using conduit piping. This can be found at electrical supply stores. Here are a couple of extension resources on low tunnels:
