I don't have exact measurements, but I guess I can go outside and get them. You will want to buy extra length...I bought a 6 foot piece. The thing is, since you are working with 1" square, you will not necessarily get the bend exactly where you want it, so expect to have about a half to a foot left over on each end. I heated with oxy acetylene, and once you have the area of the first bend red hot and bending, you start working your way down, keeping the radius even. When done, you cut off the excess form each end.

I may have some extras of the brackets available if you have trouble finding them.
