PVC for Shade Structure

Will half inch PVC, the smallest size, be strong enough for a shade structure or is a larger size needed?

I tried 1"PVC my first year. It was an absolute fail.
To have a sucessful shade structure use EMT, minimum 3/4" with 1" a lot better.
Everyone is so politically fucked up that they're segregating themselves in the name of equal rights and liberation.
