im tryign to make a 6" wide box to jib the hell out of but i dont wanna spend the cash.

i know puckboard (acrylic sheeting) can be used but that stuff's like 50 bucks a pop, what is the best to use, and what are other options?

This is how you get free material ..... if your lucky. Find a local hockey area and go ask the rink managers if they have any spare peices of hockey board from the arena walls. If they do you can get a nice 10 ft piece thats 4 feet wide for free. and if your really lucky like i was, then your local rink will renovate and thro all the old boards from the arena out in the parking lot, so at night you drive by in a pick up truck and grab all you need. I got a ton and made a nice kicker out of one piece Laughing
