<div dir="ltr"><div>Funny, here at the Princeton Museum, we are undertaking the same thing. We have a stagecoach, surrey, wagon, logging arches and many more large items to house. We are developing plans over the next seven months. I am not a fan of plexiglass for several reasons. They collect moisture, scratch easily and get dull quickly unless located in a well shielded space. Unless someone has a better idea, my notion is to build a barn like structure, enclosed with solar lights and livery style doors which can be open during visitor hours.</div><div>I would like to follow your progress and shall reciprocate.</div><div>........................................................................................</div><div>Terry Malanchuk</div><div>Operations Manager</div><div>Princeton and District Museum and Archives</div><div>167 Vermilion Ave. Princeton B.C.

I want to put a couple of chainsaws out there, as well as saw blades and other objects from some of the local sawmills. However, as this is right at the main entrance to the Museum’s property, I also want to keep that nice welcoming openness of the shed – so I was thinking Plexiglas display cases without wooden or metal frames – just a support along the bottom – to protect the objects without adding any more solid structure to the space than absolutely necessary. The cases will be along the sides of the shed, between the support posts, so under the roof but still within range of blowing rain and snow.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I’m pretty sure sealed Plexi will keep most of the bugs out, but what about condensation? I’ve also been told that water doesn’t just roll off Plexiglas.
