would these work just as good as pipes? i wanna use the sheets for the top part of a box i plan on making because idk how much lexan would cost and people say that it would cost a lot for lexan, and one of my friends thought about using pvc sheets

yea it does work. really good. sometimes you catch an edge, and when you do, sandpaper it back down, or else you will keep catching in the same spot. but overall it's amazing

I've gone to 2 home depots and they don't have PVC sheets. the best alternative looks to be that you should buy a ton of the smallest diameter pvc pipes.

^sorta takes away the point of using the sheet because they are harder to attach. A lot of people do build boxes that way though.

sometimes you can go to a hockey rink and they'll hook you up with old discarded side boards
