I'll be working on Phil's new PVC enclosure this weekend (I'll start another thread about the build). My plan is based off of @Sterant 's design in his sticky thread (referenced below) but I'm planning on making it 6'x3'.
Since it's 6', will I need a center brace or braces to keep the top from sagging in? Would 1 brace placed in the center be enough or should I have several braces spaced evenly, like maybe 3 or 4? If I had 4, could the center still sag without one directly in the center? Also, how tall should the braces be? Maybe 2 inches? Or 3 inches?

Building your own Expanded PVC Enclosed Chamber – For Beginners
I have recently been asked to do a post on building an enclosed chamber using PVC, and to tailor the post to those that have NO fabrication / wood working experience and the resultant lack of tools. So, that’s what this post is about. If you have even basic wood working or metal working skills...
