I thought about trying to build then in a pipe but I figured it would be
tough!
I decided to mount the pipe for the gaps horizonaly. I found that copper
pipe would fit snaggly into a u shaped channel of rods which are used

I think someone else on the list suggested something similar. 
I'll next build some kind of enclosure to channel air accross the gaps.
