It could very well work for what you're looking for. I didn't think I had a local xPVC supplier either. I did a lot of searching and ended up calling a couple of places that do signs for businesses. From several calls I found out that I had two local suppliers. One - Regal Plastics - is a larger, nationwide company. The other is a smaller local company. The Regal Plastics quote was about $250 less than the local company. While I do like supporting local companies, it didn't make sense to spend $250 more.

How much XPVC did you end up getting? I actually just found a local dealer that will sell 2 48x96 1/2 inch sheets of XPVC for 135$. I am going to try and talk to them about whether or not they have scraps they want to get rid of and if they are interested in getting rid of them.
Also did you have the company cut the pvc? My local company offers custom precision cutting as long as it is not any shape out of the ordinary.
Hopefully they call me soon so I can get more details.

When I build my rack it is going to look like furniture. My lady wouldn't allow something that doesn't look like the surrounding stuff 😜. If I could get xPVC I would but as I'm in the middle of frozen hell I can't haha... The things that suck about living in a state with 800k people
Re: Height/Quality of tubs
I will be building a rack after I finish my incubator project. I plan on using cabinet grade plywood and cover the edges with wood veneer or a strip of hardwood to match. You can get a variety of cabinet grade plywood to match your taste such as oak, cherry, etc. and customize your rack for any size tubs you want.

Hi Greg-
The 4'x8' 1/2" piece was about $117 with tax. That included all the cuts. I had read that people have been paying up to $150 for a 4x8 1/2" sheet so 135 isn't bad.
