The bows are made of ordinary galvanized 3/4" inside diameter pipe. The outside is 1 1/8" or thereabouts. This is the stuff plumbers use.

tubing
I think the thick plumbers pipe was for the "across" three main bows.. but the lengthwise stays , with the squashed in indentations for bolting to the bows, was a thin tubing ..just a guess ...
Mike PS the 1" OD plumbers galv. stuff here , which has a 3/4" inside diameter ..is threaded with 3/4" BSP threads

Mike, I checked the bows and it looks like it's all made of the pipe and not tubing. Where it's flattened out it's over 1/4" thick.

Back Canvas
OK, I can see how the front piece affixes to the inside front of the bed (7 "snaps") as well as how it's split up to the first cross member and has a flap that attaches it (3 "snaps") to the side pieces. I also understand how the side pieces are attached to the bed.
Looking as closely as I can to the pictures available of the back section of the canvas I do not see the same split as found on the front. How did the back fold up neatly with the rear corners not being split? Puzzled, Jim
