You can put it out in the sun, let it heat up, it should bend better. I have personally used the regular pvc and also the schedule 40 pvc (usually gray). Found that securing with the pipe clamps with two screw attachments works best.
I often see pvc pipe arched over hoop houses, including one in a video here over a 4′×8′ raised bed. How do you get VC pipe to bend at such a sharp curve? WhenI shop for them, the salesman says it won’t bend like that.
If you have problems with birds eating your strawberries (like I do!) you can also use bird netting over low or high hoops and secure it with the clips.
