Topic: how much tube

[axled89]

i'm needing some sort of idea on how much tube to buy.  i have a standered cab 89 pick up.  i'm needing to build a new bed  &  exo cage  &  sliders.   if any body can help that would be awsome.

figure out where you want tube, then get a tape measure and measure it. its not hard... but it is hard answering your question when we dont know what you have in mind! How much tube you use depends on if you want a simple cage or a jungle gym. if you have a hard time figuring out the amount of tube you need, it will be even harder building it all.

Also, what kind of bender ?  Account for test bends and screw ups.  Measure the distance and multiply by 2.  If you have leftovers then thats a good thing.

Good point. I usually add 10% to what I think I need. After some drop pieces its pretty close for the most part.
