Check out electrical pvc conduit. It comes with UV protection in the plastic. It also is available in the same sizes.

Electrical conduit pvc is expensive. all you have to do is the parts of the plain pvc that is exposed to sunlight, is spray paint it.

I think the expense might vary by supplier - I got 10' lengths of 1" conduit for $3.08, vs $3.22 for normal pvc. Check around.

If you use ten foot joints and put two together they do not bend good. They have a tendency to come apart

I had that problem with one hoop due to the cold snap we've been having. After one broke, I discovered using a hair dryer to blow hot air through the pipe makes it bend a lot easier. I'm also gluing the joints, so your choice of glue may also make a difference.

Great the only thiing about using a tarp is that it will blow ariund like crazy. I like ti use a shade cloth cause it can breathe with the wind
