if you heat the pvc it makes it weaker and sometimes cracks. if yuo gonna do kinks or curved rails its best to go with metal

you can definitely bend small radius' with PVC, for like a banked c rail, but it also works for a flat down flat, or something. i love PVC, its inexpensive and it werks.
I went off the jump thinking, I'am the jump...but i still narfed it. rv

PVC won't bend that easily, but its super easy to make kinks, but kinked pvc rails will get chewed up really fast.

I have a soul, just no remorse.

you can fill the pvc with sand while youre bending it, that way it wont fold up on you. then you can fill the bent pvc with concrete.
