I guess you are making your screen surround out of tubing if so you need a tube bender of the correct diameter.

X2 for buggypete, easier and much neater.

to bend alloy screen section you have to make formers to match the profile inside and out to stop it wrinkling.then make a pattern board to match the bends.it all takes time and money
