Ours are getting a little ragged.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-24-2014 03:57 PM                     Any glass shop will sell almost all kinds of plexiglass and cut in size for your need.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-27-2014 07:36 AM                        We ordered them from Bass Industries.

Many of them have thick plastic sheeting on rolls.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 04-28-2014 12:14 AM                        I made my own poster cases for the walls of my lobby. I had sheets of plexiglass cut to size at the local glass shop, drilled them at the top to fit cupboard door hinges which I then screwed to the wall at the appropriate height, and then put a piece of door stop at the the bottom just under where the bottom of the plexiglass falls. I attached storm window turn buttons to the door stop to keep the plexiglass closed, and stapled kitchen drawer grip liner to the wall behind the plexiglass to keep the posters from sliding down. It works great, and cost a tiny fraction of what "real" poster cases would cost. The most expensive part was the plexiglass, of course.  |  IP: Logged
