Default OT- Plastic T beam

I'm looking for a plastic beam shaped like a T,
about 1 to 1 1/2 inch on each side.

Does anyone know where this can be found?

PVC or something similar.

Thanks.

They are on their web site - look under materials - F and then I-beam.

The dimentions are about what passes for a "T" post used by farmers.
IIRC I have seen some advertised in Fibreglass.

Fiberglass makes sense. PVC definitely doesn't unless it's strictly
ornamental i.e. zero load.
