In the craft / hobby stores it's called plastic canvas. Anything smaller and it's going to block up to easily, like window screening.

This is the kind I used. Sorry about the verbiage.

Walmart special and was $2.99 for 6 sheets. Total cost excluding the powerhead was around $15.00.

I gotta say this is a great forum! Great and fast help! I just got back from Wal-mart and bought some. So my question is how do I use the canvas as my divider? As, it doesn't seem to hold up straight.

I used nylon zip ties to strap it to the PVC pipe. See the pics below. You may want to trim the edges to fit. I got pics for days of this build so let me know if you have any questions if you choose this type devider.

Menard probably would... Look in the drop ceiling section.

I actually used eggcrate and I ziptied shelf liner to it. It is the light blue foam stuff with little holes, used to line the bottom of shelves and cabinets.
