Years ago, I carried some equipment to Marble Falls, Texas, to test at Professional Testing, Inc's OATS there. I remember one of the sites having a taut cloth weather shield stretched over a number of bent PVC formers. I don't know how long those PVC ribs lasted in the Texas sun, but I DO remember that on an unshaded OATS there, one of my EUT laptops warped badly!
The PVC was apparently good enough for the job.

Several of you suggested using PVC pipe. We have tried using schedule 40 PVC pipe (the stuff you find at Home Depot) for other outside structural uses and have found that the material creeps badly in the Florida heat. The result is sagging horizontal supports. Has anyone successfully built an 8-10 foot wide durable outside structure using PVC pipe? If so, what type of PVC pipe was it? ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
