Can aluminium tube be bent for props?

Aluminium is the go-to when a prop has to be carried, flown or swung. It is light and takes a decent bend, but it needs the right tooling and a careful hand to avoid rippling or flattening.

We bend aluminium tube for handheld props, rigs, frames and set pieces that need to stay light. Tell us the alloy and wall thickness and we will tell you what radius is realistic.

Mild steel, stainless and aluminium all go through the same shop floor in Dagenham. For a price, send the section size, the radius and how many you need.
