Hmm, you are all saying PVC, but GRM emphasizes NOT to use PVC 
under any circumstances because of the issues with becoming brittle 
with time, sunlight, chemicals , etc. The idea of pvc shrapnel is not 
enticing. Sounds like someone had an accident which is still haunting 
them. My garage is only about 22 x 22, so I will not go broke on 
copper tubing (FINALLY, a benefit to having inadequate space!). 
Farm & Fleet sounds like a good idea, too. I keep forgetting them 
and I shouldn't.
