Good idea but not sure about the strength of the arch made like that for a canopy/windscreen. IMHO its going to be subject to a lot of stress each time you enter and exit the pit as some amount of your weight shift will be transferred to it. This would be a viable method if a harder wood was used but that would most likely require steaming the wood prior to bending it. Either method will require a jig matching the outline of the frame for clamping the structure to. Also a better type of glue such as a urethane glue would dry faster and stronger. A easier method would be stacking layers flat ways, making one large piece and cutting and shaping using a sanding machine to the desired profile.
