Is the raised portion very sturdy or can it be bent to accomodate pipes, instead of cutting it? Also, is the size 34.5 X 22.8 accurate?

As far as I can tell, the dimensions were accurate. The raised portion is pretty sturdy but is flexible enough flatten out for a bit, enough to slide under a pipe. Hope that helps. I love this sink mat, btw. It has already saved me once.

I just re-measured mine and the dimensions are very accurate. It does have some flexibility, but being plastic- not rubber it can be 'bent' a little to accomodate a pipe. It could also be easily trimmed to go around a pipe , and then caulked to preserve its function. Wonder why the morons at HD and Lowes don't sell it.

The raised portion does bend. The sizing of the bottom only is approximately 33.5 X 22 with a 1" lip that flares. With the flaring it would be an accurate size. It fits perfectly in my 35 X 24 cabinet. Unfortunately I can't envision your piping but can only say that it is a wonderful mat that is quality, sturdy and easy to clean. I keep a lot of cleaners under my sinks and any spills are easily cleaned.

I agree, yes to both. The mat is great! Every new cabinet install should come with one of these. Unfortunately, I didn't know these existed when I really needed it, but I'm sure it will prevent any future problems.

The side of the mats can be cut using a razor or scissors to get around pipes coming in from the sides of the cabinets. The mat is pliable enough to bend rather easliy unlike some of our competitors. Michael I like your comment on Home Depot and Lowes I haven't had much luck getting them to carry it on the shelfs but we are working on it.

You can add pipe to the depth you need. I would not want to extend the handles.

It's 55 inches wide. The height - I'm assuming is 101 inches high - think that would include the cones on the top.To make it sturdy ( I have 4) go to Lowes and get them to cut 4 15" conduit tubes. Make sure that the digger that comes with the arch is with you. Lowes will have to smooth out the edges so the digger stick fits thru you conduit tubes. You will not pound those. If you get this arch, this will make more sense when you receive the package.

I've cut such pipe. I've cut angles and straight. Straight is easier. I'd get some blade wax for stuff this heavy.

Sorry but I don't know the answer to your question because I returned this product. The description says 56" and up to 72", so presumably it won't fit a 52" space unless you modified somehow like cutting one end. I know they slide in and out to adjust, so you could cut one or both of the pipes to make it fit your dimensions. But because the pipes are curved that may not be possible.

The tubing is quite rigid. It does not bend or kink easily. I don't have the means to measure a quantifiable quantity to rigidity, but it definitely would take some effort to bend.

I have mine the same shape as it is in the picture. I think it would stay but I'm not 100% sure if it would bend that way. You might wanna ask the seller. Sorry I'm not any help!

It has a ridged edge on the bottom. It is raised anywhere from 1/8 to 1/2 in the center. I can not remember for sure.

I used it for a 1" square pipe , the opening is 1&1/4". even with the two set screws it was not tight -so I just bought a small container of premixed cement to fill in the gap - worked fine - very solid

It's very sturdy and never loses its shape or bend. When I installed a drain valve in the bottom of the side, the material was about 3/16 " thick when I drilled through. The molded over rim at the top makes the top edge very sturdy.

I haven't had any issues with the handle bending or breaking. It is as sturdy as a five gallon bucket.

My unit doesn't bend easily. It is very rigid and has a good handle to grip. I use it a lot, and I've never had an issue.

It is made for 4". It will not expand that much. Double check the size of your actual pipe (the pipe may start a couple of inches below grade) because the size you mention, 4-3/8", sounds odd to me.

It's pretty thick and does not bend well so I wouldn't suggest it for a sink that size.

It's quite rigid and I would not count on bending it at all. The stiffness means you can push it into not-stony soil pretty easily by hand or with light taps on top with a hammer.

The crossover pipe is not crunched, it's a smooth bend of full size pipe. I'm very happy with the sound of the pipes as well...easy install too.

Travis O., this tubing is pretty sturdy but not if it is long like a cane, it might bend under pressure. I had to cut it with a saw to get it to the lenght I needed for my mom's fish tank. So I it is not as strong like PVC pipe so you might want to use something else. God Bless, Reggie J.
