| These are made from Stainless Steel Tube which
has been bent into a "C" or "goalmouth" shape. The stainless steel is
304 grade which makes it immune to attack by virtually everything apart
from some acids, and is in a "bright" finish. The tube is 1.5 inch
outside diameter and 16 gauge which is around 1.5mm wall thickness, so
massive and very strong. The hoops were bent from an original tube
length of 1.5m. The radius of the bends is approx 70mm. The centres of
the "legs" of the "goalmouth" are 550mm apart to the centre line, and
the "goalmouth" stands 520mm high to the centre line. Each hoop weighs
1.85kg These stainless steel hoops were
originally components for "Sea Hammocks" suitable for use in saline hot
spring hydro-therapy baths, but the order was unfortunately
cancelled. Current "Sea Hammocks" are made with either an aluminium or
plastic frame.
Obviously the stainless steel could have a variety
of uses. It could be used as street furniture, concreted into the
entrance to a pathway to prevent its use by motor cars. Two hoops could
be concreted in to a base close together to retain a bicycle wheel. We
also have a number of clamps and fittings so that a smaller tube can
telescope out from the larger tube or two hoops can be placed at right
angles to each other. It would be fairly easy to put a number of the
hoops together to make corrosion resistant tables, chairs, benches,
lockers etc. The hoops could be cut and welded to make "A" frames for
boats etc.
