    Looking to build a PVC rack, have a few questions.

    I'm interested in building a 5 or 6 tub rack and was curious if anyone has used ePlastics to order PVC?
    Here is a link,http://www.eplastics.com/-500-x-48-x...PVC-Foam-Sheet
    Also is this the correct stuff? I'm pretty sure it is but the reference to foam in the name worries me.
    Feel free to chime in if you know of any other sellers to use. Home Depot and Lowes in my area do not stock Azek or Sintra.
    Cheers, Jeff

    EPlastics is the online store for "ridout Plastics" they are located in San Diego, CA and this is where I purchase my plastics from, however I just go down and order in store and pick up. The "foam board" is XPVC so that is the correct stuff. It will be fine for building a rack, however I am currently using it to build a lizard cage and I am not thrilled with it, the Lizards nails will be able to scratch it pretty easy. It has inspired me to go back to using regular PVC, but for snakes it works great.

    I stopped in a local sign making store this morning and they can order 4x8 sheets of PVC for $135 and cut it for $2 a cut so I'm pretty psyched. They had a sample on hand and I could tell it was solid and exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully I'll have the pieces Wednesday so I can start building soon, I have two new snakes coming in so I want to get it set up and ready for them ASAP.
    Cheers, Jeff
