Another tip on cheap material...

If you have a local skylight manufacturer, check in their discard bin
or trash...generally, if they manufacture plastic domed skylights, they
also have various type of acrylic, perspex, plexi, etc, cutoffs which
can be sizable. 

We have picked up enough sheets to put together some very nice
pieces which can be glued or bonded with a special acrylic glue that 
is sold for that purpose. Our coil setup is a three tier setup about 18" 
square, made up entirely of these pieces. The same pieces at Tap 
Plastics in their cutoff bin are very pricey.
