Jeff,

Corrugated flexible plastic drain pipe comes in diameters up to 36" and 
could be used to create just about
any diameter toroid  relatively inexpensively compared to a much smaller 
spun aluminum unit. A 3' X 16' or
a 3' X 20'  toroid could be constructed for a reasonable cost.

Granted, it wouldn't look as pretty or professional as a spun aluminum 
toroid, but it would be functional.

I think Greg Leyh's metal tubing fabrication method could also be used to 
construct gargantuan sized
toroids at reasonable cost.
