Make 2 bends. One going down 1-1/2" or 2". Whatever the diameter of the pipe is, and another one going back underneath the plate about an inch. Strengthens it up as well. Definitely go with a material like seadek or hydroturf on it to keep it cool if your little girl likes to stand on it. Kids always seem to loose their shoes. At least mine does!
