Can you supply rod & tube in lengths longer than 1m?

Quality good. Would buy again.

Used to convert an old aquarium so that I could use an acrylic lid fitted with neodymium magnets to hold it in place, I just fixed the rods to the sides with aquarium silicone, superglued the magnets into place on the rods/lid and it was all good. Good quality product, the finished tank looks great and does the job it was intended for.

Tracy Blackburn 27/06/2017 19:39:43

Good quality and value. Cut to exact size I needed. Highly recommended.

Chris 24/04/2017 23:17:27

Ordered to convert a fish tank into a terrarium, the rods were to hold the new lid in place, arrived quickly and as described, did the job, thanks.

Hester 24/04/2017 19:52:08

The rods are going to be used as support for 5 x 4metre long hangings which will form part of an art installation. They look perfect for the job and I'm impressed with the service and price. They arrived pretty quickly and well packaged.

While browsing the website for acrylic splashback, I found these acrylic rods, which could provide me with the shelf supports I needed in a commercial kitchen. I bought two, cut to exactly the right length, and they are doing the job of supporting a heavy shelf!
