Can you use plexiglass for a top sheet of a box?

Does it slide well enough? or should we just use a bunch of smaller pvc pipes.

plexi glass will crack on basically any impact. try getting a thin sheet of hdpe if your makiing a rainbow box. it will flex and bend, also cheaper so your cutting down costs

you could also use smaller diamater pvc pipes, they will be much more flexible.
