How do I make a rectangular tube with high row count but correct normals?

On the left is a picture of rectangular tube with correct normal placement but incorrect row count,
on the right is the correct row count, but incorrect normals.

Does anyone know have a nice trick to make the kind of thing I’m after?

Thank-you

All I needed to do was convert my tube to a polygon and then run it through the facet SOP.
