PVC/rack question

I wanna build a new rack. I have a jasons jungle rack 5 slot rack and would like to model it after that so I can just put it on top of that. The site lists using PVCX as the material which I'm gonna assume is expanded PVC correct?

where can I get this? home depot and lowes around me dont have it.

Also is there an alternative wood or plastic I could use to make my rack?
i read a lot of bad things about melamine wood because it warps and stuff

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Ted,
I have tried to build racks in the past, and its a real pain. I know it might be a cost savings, but I bit the bullet and kept buying from Jason. He is good at what he does and I am pretty sure you have to buy a high quantity of the material to even get a decent price. Just my thoughts!

Good Luck!

You can do a search for "Expanded PVC sheet" it's out there somewhere.

Really expensive, but it's out there.

ehhh wasnt that bad, 100 bucks for a 1/2 inch 4'x8' sheet and they made the cuts i needed too. only thing was that there wasnt enough for the back piece. I want my rack to be enclosed so just picked up a sheet of hardboard (peg board without the holes) for like 4 bucks at lowes and used that as my back piece
