Oh of course! I wanted it just so the top half of my DIY A/C vertical window box could allow light and the hardware store was out!
I need a 20”x24” piece, I wouldn’t think that would help retail.

j2, call a glass shop and see what it would cost in a 1/8″ or 3/16″ glass. Tell them you don’t need polished edges or anything, just something utilitarian. it’s probably not far from acrylic in price.

@j2, Also, lighter old windows could be useful for this eg: neighbours’ garbage, salvage yards (not sure on reopening dates – Habitat Restore, Ecocentres) plus you might be able to use the frame to mount it more easily. Fwiw, plexiglass was not cheap even before this crisis eg: 24sq in was about 50$ at Home Depot last year.

JaneyB unless that plexi was an inch thick you got hosed. 1/8″ acrylic (the most common thickness) should sell for about $4 or 5 a square foot.
