Plastic lumber -- where do you buy it? FAQ

Speaking of Grace Slick... Long (long) time ago at a college campus far, far, away, SWMBO and I went to a horrible JA concert. Grace was high as a kite and was constantly singing a different song than the band was playing. Papa John was so pissed that he walked off the stage at one point. At the end, they hadn't played White Rabbit. Grace said that she didn't want to play it. "It's like eating a peanut butter an jelly sandwich every day for ten years." The audience wasn't happy.

Anyway, a month later there was a Moody Blues concert in the same hall. At the encore they asked for requests. Some wise guy from the back of the hall yelled out "White Rabbit". All hell broke loose. One of the stage hands let the very confused group in on the joke, after which they played another hour.

Clever guy yelling White Rabbit. :-)

Grace Slick not wanting to play White Rabbit is like Yes leaving Roundabout out of the set or King Crimson saying no to "Court..."

Damn...I'm surprised I even remember those concerts. Actually, they are etched (multiple times) into my brain.

es that sell plastic furniture and products but no info on raw materials.

I too am looking for it, I have seen deck chairs, swings, etc., made from i t and cannot find the RAW poly-lumber. The Amish are selling the finished p roducts in a multitude of colors, it looks like wood by texture and even wa r marks. Nice looking stuff. It is NOT cast or extruded.It is from a produc t that looks just like wood.

Menard's sells PVC 1 by lumber in varied widths.

To be fair, High Density PolyEthylene and Poly Vinyl Choloride are not the same thing.

except that they dont last. 20 years tops

If the Amish sell products made out of if they must know where to buy it. Have you tried _asking_?

Not nearly the same.

Here's a supplier that appears to take online orders. I have a project in mind, I may place an order with them and see what happens.

Google Plastic Lumber near me.

Yeah but I have not seen any HDPE available at nearby suppliers.
