In Response To: Strip: Schedule 40 drain pipe as strongback (Eric Anderson)

: I have heard of people using schedule 40 drain pipe (4"?) as a
: strongback. It would seem to be a good idea. It is quite ridgid,

In the length needed for a strongback, PVC is not particularly rigid and it's not made to tight tolerances. I wouldn't be surprised to see it sag over time, either.
