I am in the process of building a box and I wanted to use plastic to build it. I want to find a plastic that is strong, yet light weight and durable. The design calls for thinner sheets of plastic. So my question is what type of plastic is strong, thinner, lightweight, and still on the cheap side, and where would I be able to buy this plastic?
Home Depot seels 10 mill plastic.
At an art supply store. You can get that material that is like those thick, plastic, poster board signs people use for advertising. I can't think of what the official name is. They can also cut it to any size you need.
you can just use painters drop cloths.... my dollar store has them... they are huge. a hardware or building sotre has them, but they are 7 - 8 $ each which still isnt bad...but check out dollar stores first and save a bundle. you can buy fabric ones but they are like 22$ for 2 and will cover only two pieces of furniture, i would go with plastic.... And tarps, arent thin enough or pliable enough to mold to furniture effectively, they will be constantly slipping off, plus you will pay more and have to buy more.
home supply store, home depot or menards or lowes. They sell lexan and other brands of plastic in the window department
