Alright, so I have 2 monitors which are currently housed in polyethylene tubs. This is all well and good up to 2', but after that I need a solid enclosure for each of them.

So, I look over to aquaria for ideas, and while I was learning of the wonders of sumps for water filtration, I found the beauty of the Plywood aquarium. It's a wooden box, with pond liner on the inside to protect from water and turn the box into am aquarium.

Buuuut, I doubt pond liner can handle an inch long claw run against it, unlike glass, or even polyethylene or acrylic.

Now, Acrylic is expensive, and I don't need that thick of a layer of it (maybe 1/16th or 1/8th). Or I could go looking for some polyethylene sheet or some polypropylene (not nearly as good as the other options to be honest) sheet or some pvc sheet.

Now, does anyone know of another option? Something light, affordable, durable, safe and water proof. I need it to be able to withstand claws, keeping the wood safe. But l don't need it to be clear.

And no, it's not like I can't afford to throw the money at a bunch of 1/16" acrylic. But if I can find equal quality, or superior, for less, I'd much rather do that. So long as it meets the necessary criteria of being durable, water proof, and pet safe
