Try a plumbing supply store if your local hardware stores don't have any.

Since it's PVC, did you need plastic paint (like Krylon) or enamel did the job?

I'd think any paint will do the job. I used regular flat spray paint...I think it was "Painter's Touch". It dries really fast, especially if you point a fan at it.

Those are great and exactly the idea I was looking for!

Fantastic! Really great idea, cheap, and easy to make. My kind of prop.

This a great idea.I just made 12 feet of it.Thanks for sharing.

Glad it worked out for you.

I always find that an electric fence does the job nicely.
