[QUOTE="Bigkat650, post: 244123, member: 7270"] two things... First, I believe typical foam board (green and pink stuff) is not a closed-cell foam, meaning it can become waterlogged--so you would need to coat it, and with what? I don't know... Second, I would avoid using PVC. It is not really rigged enough to provide a solid structure and under load may fail. Also, PVC tends to degrade over time. Conduit worked well for me though, its stiffer and takes a while to degrade... also, price point is very similar and weight is only slightly more then PVC. Aluminum is ideal, but more expensive and harder to find. [/QUOTE]
