I wanted 20' segments, but Home Depot etc only carry 10' segments, so I special-ordered the PVC through a local lumber/construction company.

With all the strain that I subject these pieces to, I don't trust gluing 10' segments together to form 20' arches. I tested the gluing method back in the beginning, but some failed under heavy strain, so now I don't take the chance and instead just pay more for the 20' segments that I want.
