I have a 39", 3/4" tubing, 160psi, collapsible hoop that I would sell.

It's about a month old. I'm extremely happy with it and there's nothing wrong with it at all. It's a little heavy for my liking (I'm a tiny person) and I was going to purchase a lighter hoop. I'd hate for it to sit around so let me know if you are interested at all, I'd be happy to help :)

You can purchase 1" 160psi irrigation tubing. You'll need roughly 11 feet for a 42" hoop, a bit more if you want to go larger. Most of my beginner hoops are 42" which is a good size. They're 3/4", 100 psi but if you want heavier go for the 1", 160. Get one 1" connector to put it all together, some gaffer tape to spiral around it and you're all set.

I make some havy hoops, but the heaviest I ever heard of were from Tobasco.... if he's still making them.

I use a 1 1/4" 160 psi hoop that is 42" to teach people who struggle with lighter weight hoops.  It weighs in at roughly 3 pounds I think.
