I used the drill/tap method with #4-40 1/2in machine screws. It takes one sheet of 3' x 6' 1/4in plexi to make one this size. The sheet cost about $60, the screws and hardware ar a bit more. What would make the total cost a bit more would be the labor and the extra materials if you messed up. There's a few chips in it from drilling and tapping, and there's half of a tap in one of the screw holes....lol it wasn't easy. I used a plastic cutter to cut it. I am going to try and find another way to cut it, maybe a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade, we'll see. I tried to just use glue but that proved difficult as the plexi is not perfectly straight. Plus when you start building them this big and bigger for larger snakes you want that extra stregth. I'm looking for a cheaper source for the plexi also.
Thanks for the compliments.
