or you can use copper which you can get cheap at Home Depot. However I
suggest installing pieces of rubber over the tubing where it goes through or
near the frame so it doesn't get holed. Same with aluminum. They are soft.
Both bend easy and can be done with your bare hands as long as the bend
isn't too tight.
10 years and still good!
