PVC board....WHERE to find IT

Ok I have been thinking about building a rack system for my snakes for a while now. I have always just thought about using wood but I would like to use PVC board, however, I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere.

Does anyone know of a place that sells it?

Thank you

Hi,


Is this any use to you? I'm not sure if its the same stuff your looking for or not.

This may just be it. :D

Thank you so much....If not for this project I know it will come in handy later.

:rockon:

Call a boat building place. Its going to be VERY pricey. Its called starboard. I get 8' x 4' sheets for free, because I work with a marine mechanic.

But it will be cheaper to buy a comercial rack online, than biulding one outta HDPVC. you need, Atleast 1/2" think material.

Cool thank you for that piece of info. PVC board is definitely out of the question then. :eek:

Hmm Iam just afraid to use wood because of the pores and what not in it. But maybe Laminated wood would be good....

Again Thank you

i just built a new rack out of melamine covered wood and it cost me $110 for the wood, $40 for the supplies, and $40 for the heat. it was simple to make to. i am going to put a thread on it later, i am waiting for the heat now. but let me know and i'll send you a link to the directions.

hi i have two rack built out of the pvc foam board and you should beable to find it at any place that sells plastic's

Yup, open your yellow pages and start calling local plastics distributors. I recently got enough to make a rack that holds 7 of the 41 qt tubs for ~$175 for all the pieces of 3/8" PVC cut to size. It is definately not cost prohibitive to build your own out of PVC.

Could you not use Plexiglass?? That might be cheaper than the PVC.

Once you get into about 3/8" - 1/2" plexi, you start getting into big bucks.

Plus its very hard to cut without damaging the whole edge.

Also, it wouldnt look too good with all the screws in it.
