How flexible are these poles, will they bend to form a half circle?

Each section will bend to at least 45° of arc, so yes, the entire 4-section pole will form a half-circle, unless you shorten the sections significantly. I used the two poles I bought as replacements in a hemispheric dome tent. In doing so, I had to shorten each pole section about 2½" (each pole needed to be about 10" shorter to fit the tent). Each of the shortened poles easily bent to a half-circle.

Yes, they are thinner than the poles that are used to hold up a dome tent. I used it as a replacement pole for the flap that hangs out over the door to the tent, which requires the pole to bend in a semicircle.

they are just as flexible as the originals I was replacing. I guess it depends on how small a half circle you are making, but I put these on a 6'x10' dome tent and they worked fine.

I am using them on a solo tent and a pretty tight half circle and they are working great.

24 inches on those I have. The are more flexible than some. You could curl the ends a bit, and I think they will straighten out fine.

You can bend them about as much as a half circle without breaking them. They are a little persistent and will want to return back to their original shape though but if you can hold them down at the bend you want you should be ok

No not really bendable -- these sections fit together with slip on rounds for extending but to shorten fence would not be possible in my ecperience

These are flat strips with one sticky side, like the previous user answered. They bend pretty well, I mounted two strips to the ceiling of my basement to light up at night. The only issues I've had have been bending around 90° corners is a challenge (can't do sharp corners, had to round out the lights in those spots) and the sticky side has come off my walls a few times, but I think it is because of the paint on the basement walls. To fix this, I used sticky Command poster strips and those seem to do the trick.

They are rigid and will not roll up. In fact, I used the ramps as shovels today to dig my car out of a snow drift! They are flexible enough to bend slightly to fit contours in the ground, though, so I doubt they'd snap as long as you use them as intended.

The arms will bend. However, not sure precisely how much. Get Tons Of Compliments On This lamp. Probably worth a try in my opinion.

No this one is not really bendable. You wouldn't want to do that anyways because you would break the powder coat. They are not real wide and I have them for a curved flowerbed. They are less than a foot each section

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being extremely flexible, I'd say about a 7 or 8. I have a tent that requires an arc to be formed with the poles. It performs as desired.

You need to bend the poles. It is easiest if you have two people doing one at a time.

They are flexible but not small so bending them may not give you the best result. They are about 3" diameter.

They are flexible, but like any metal, if you bend then too much, they'll crease. I use mine primarily for measuring barrel to cylinder gap on revolvers, so there's not a lot of hard core bending going on. Hope this helps.

They are not at all flexible, quite the opposite. They will break even at the slightest bending. How ever there is a solar tape that is much better for what your asking. Unless you can make a large multi sided hexagon shape.

They come as a straight piece pre-scored for bending. They can be used as a straight piece.

Yes you can bend them very slightly for pre travel. Add the Allen screw is for over travel.

Yes, they were flexible enough to put on our curved ceilings. Just make sure you glue it well.

Yes they are halfcircle. They have to be in order to make it so they can rotate. Which mine do.
