Question:

Where can I buy inexpensive plastic tubes?

I want to do a carnival game in which people try to make balls into hollow plastic tubes. I want them to be pretty long too. At which store can I buy them?

Answer:

home depot, Lowe's...in the plumbing department
Lowes; you can buy plastic plumbing in 10 foot lengths and different hole sizes too. they will cut them if you ask, but you can do it yourself with an electric knife or small hand saw. I bought them for extra long windows and used them as drapery rods.
Try your local old corner hardware store. They have lots of stuff the big box retailers don't carry. They actually employ knowlegeable folks that genuinely enjoy helping you because their future depends on you to come back. You will find these tubes in the plumbing dept. and they come in white or black. There may also be grey plastic used in electrical conduit tubing.
