Today I got 10.5m of stainless steel 3mm tube in 260mm lengths. Also got a bipe bender for the tube. The tubing is to make the hoops for the canvas on my ta01 land rover.

Packing the tube with fine grained sand will help to stop the tube crushing as you bend it

Yer I tried that before. It works ish, but you can not get two angles the same and you can not get the bend to start exactly where you want it.

Pack the sand as tight as possible.

What bender are you using?

When bending you need to leave 'green' on the ends, a bit extra material that can be trimmed off afterwards to get the precise length.

You also need to do some calculations and mark out the centre of the bends, allow for the radius of the die etc.

Bit hard to explain here.

Google might be your friend.

If you mark, measure and make adjustments as you go along, you will get there in the end.

Don't forget to post some pics of your project, sounds pretty good.
