Polycarbonate Panel For Matrix?

[Ralph A]

Has anyone used these panels to make a matrix?  http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/polycarbonate-panel-6mm-clear/polycarbonate-panels

It looks like it would work great, but a bit pricey.   This one your looking at is $116.70 — 48" wide x 18' long @ 6mm thick.  On top of that would be a crate and box fee of $100.

You could just slide in the CCR or pixel strip and it straight and lined up to the next one above and below.  Very simple.  Easy to replace bad strips.   Any comments or ideas. 

Thanks!

Interesting idea to hold strips in place.    A frosted material would be good to diffuse the light.

This one will allow 20% of the light to pass,   http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/polycarbonate-panel-6mm-opal/polycarbonate-panels

US Plastics has these as single square tubing.  6 foot lengths  clear and .65 cents per foot (minimum of 1 ).  PERFECT for strip lights, since it is plastic they are easy to glue together.
