I want to make this for hawk cover..can anyone identify the type of poles they are using?

You can do the same thing with galvanized cattle fence panels 16 foot long by 4 foot. Easier to bend.

You can add a third screw in the center of the two hole clamps...I have found out chicken math does not only work for numbers of chickens...it works for the price of material to keep them safe. Sorry I couldn't be more help...prefab parts are costly sometimes and you may have to improvise.

They are portable and were used for weather protection.

Where did you get this pic?

You could also make this using cattle panels and tarps. Using 2 - 4' by 16' panels you would end up with a (I think) 6'w by 8'l by 6'h. Of course if you made the base wider it would be whatever that width is and not as high.

Don't remember actually.

I'm a small woman so the cattle panels are a bit heavy for me.

Okay, they are a bit awkward to work with. Definitely a 2 person job even for me.

I need something to support a metal roof so I don't think pvc can do that?
Also if you look closely at the clamps there are 3 screws in each one. I searched and couldn't find 3 hole clamps.

I agree, pvc wouldn't be strong enough. I'm no contractor but I'd use 2x4s or some type of metal, or find a kit or parts list, accounting for the wind and snow in the area.

I think closer to 5+ ft. think of a circle with circumferance of 32 ft, divided by pi (3.14...) Depending on your height, that might not matter though

There are some 8 ft and 12 ft cattle panels, I don't know how that'd apply to this concept though. I'm a small woman also, I can handle the 8 ft but the 16 ft would knock me over!
