LR columns
What have you guys used as rods to build LR columns? Im looking for something quite thin if possible and easy to find. Someone had recommended fiberglass parking rods but I have not been able to find any. Any other ideas? I do not want to use PVC because I want something thinner if possible.
Thanks! |
You can use plexes glass rods 1/2" they work well .
|
Yeah I keep hearing about plexi rods...Anyone know where I can get them?
|
I'm swinging by home depot tonight to try and find the same thing. I've seen pictures here of people who have built and H at the bottom and had a 1/2 inch of pvc pipe hooked up to the middle and the rocks with 1/2 inch holes stacked through their holes. Looked pretty damn good IMO.

You could get them at Coast Fiber Tek.There're located on 1306 Boundary Rd.
|
i used acrylic rods and a masonary bit followed by hyraulic cement for a more natural bond. looks great and solid too.
|
i got some rod from a place in langely, some sort of plastic manufacturer. i cant remember the name but i got the name of this board.
|
Check Industrial Paints and Plastics ( http://ippnet.com/ ), that's where I got some and they are a franchise so there should be one near you ...
|
How about plastic coat hangers cut up? Would that work?

this guy's idea is good
I have read many different ideas and i thought this guy's is one of the better ones so far. I would have done this if I had sand to cover the legs.
