People often ask this question "how much tubing do I need to make a X" hoop?" Lindsey asked me again yesterday at hoop club, and so I said I'd put it up for everyone.

So here is a breakdown of the lengths needed, using the maths to work it out.

Hoops made using 1" (25mm) diameter tubing.

36" hoop = 2.95 meters of tube
37" hoop = 3.03 meters of tube
38" hoop = 3.11 meters of tube
39" hoop = 3.19 meters of tube
40" hoop = 3.27 meters of tube
41" hoop = 3.35 meters of tube
42" hoop = 3.43 meters of tube
43" hoop = 3.51 meters of tube
44" hoop = 3.59 meters of tube
45" hoop = 3.67 meters of tube
46" hoop = 3.75 meters of tube
47" hoop = 3.83 meters of tube
48" hoop = 3.91 meters of tube

Hoop made using 1/2" (20mm) diameter tubing

36" hoop = 2.91 meters of tube
37" hoop = 2.99 meters of tube
38" hoop = 3.07 meters of tube
39" hoop = 3.15 meters of tube
40" hoop = 3.23 meters of tube
41" hoop = 3.31 meters of tube
42" hoop = 3.39 meters of tube
43" hoop = 3.47 meters of tube
44" hoop = 3.55 meters of tube
45" hoop = 3.63 meters of tube
46" hoop = 3.71 meters of tube
