Plastic extrusions like Al

I'm looking for a source for 2" square light structural tubing in PVC instead of aluminum or steel.



Any sources?

I have an older AIN Plastics catalog that shows similar material -- their online catalog is useless.

Structural PVC? I think that unless there is some pressing need for PVC, you might want to search for fiberglass. PVC tends to be brittle and will crack easily, fiber glass is a whole lot tougher.

Think about those fiberglass ladders and then think about climbing a PVC ladder.

"Roger Shoaf" fired this volley in news: snipped-for-privacy@news01.syix.com:

brittle

You're precipitating, Roger. (take that in context to your sig)

Think -- Did I ask for "PVC tubing as strong as steel structural tubing"?

No? No.

I asked for PVC structural tubing. Such exists. The term _assumes_ you won't put steel loads on PVC of the same cross-section.

You need to change the pH of the liquid. You're not part of the solution anymore.

Home Depot. Lowes. Good lumber yard. They are used for fences and balustrades.
