Large Plastic Tube

[Gizmo.Y]

Evening Gents.

Im looking to source some large plastic tube.

Absolute Maximum of 900mm in Outer Diameter. Approx 300mm Wide.

Does anyone have some contacts where i could purchase said amount? i can find it online in 6m lengths. But its literally 12"/300mm i require.

what thickness? are you talking mm? or microns?

 

[Gizmo.Y]

Thickness, that im not sure of. Ill take anything that has an OD closer to 900mm the better. With a wall thickness as thin as possible.

Its for a non drainage related project. i think this would be the easiest way to get the large outer ring needed.

Bit cut out of a cheap plastic bin?

I would have an offcut of twinwall below kicking about but it would be way too expensive to post, A joining socket for 750mm twinwall has an id of 842mm but they are about £60

We've got 300mm HDPE pipe at work if that will do. It'll be about 10/13mm wall thickness. Nothing 900mm thou'.

Sounds like you need to buy your local gas network contractor some chocolate digestives.

That joining socket sounds perfect. Will have a look online for one.

if it doesn't *have* to be plastic, concrete manholes can be got in 1m diameter.

Concrete would be too heavy.

Im trying to build a Cat wheel for our 2.

I need the design to be hollow like this.

As @8ob says, twinwall. Go for a section of straight and you'll be able to use the gaps between the ribs to run the skateboard wheels in. No idea where you'll get an offcut though.

Be sure to post a video of the completed item with your cat running in it, I know for a fact our 2 would take one look at it and then walk away in disgust.

Manhole extension rings, sold to build up the height.

Or laminate from wood veneers, it would look far better than plastic.

Im sure some laser pen persuasion will get them on

It might work for one, he's quite the technophile, loves to watch you use a laptop and will follow the mouse cursor as you move it around the screen. His favourite has to be when the draw on the CD player opens or closes, for some reason it's fascinating.

If you want to build a ring similar to the picture how about 2 rings cut from mdf a internal and external rebate and bendy mdf inside and out.
Can go as heavy or light as you want depending on the thickness of the rings.

Cut a slice out of a blue plastic drum

Aww come on this is a welding forum, get the slip rolls out and roll up some metal sheet...

I was thinking wood laminate flooring and steaming it around a make shift mold
