Now, my thought is to buy some wire cloth - the stuff that has open
squares of ~ .5 inch and cut it where, when formed into a tube, it
would cover the p.v.c. pipe comfortably.

Should the pipe explode due to the air pressure, the wire-cloth should
stop large pieces from becoming killer pieces.

PIPE.

What say?

I agree...if money is tight just use hoses.

I have seen "temp setups" with hoses that are over 20 years old.

If you need high volume, go iron pipe.
