I've been watching the videos of laying out custom panels Have gone to look about getting clear vinyl and find all different gauges of vinyl . I'm sure I don't need the heavier gauges but at same time don't want to get to light and be able to stretch out of shape
What is a good gauge for this purpose
I really enjoy your videos John ! they answer a lot of my questions that I just can't read in a book :grinning:

Hey @hapyrdr, I like the new profile picture!

You just want to use what ever is the cheapest available to you. 7or 8 gauge is good. But anything 4 - 12 gauge will be fine. I think I was using 12 gauge in the video because that's what I had around. But It would be smarter to get something cheaper than 12 gauge. Haha someone left a comment on the YouTube video the other day that they use clear shower curtains from the dollar store. I'm sure that works as well.

Glad the videos have helped!!
