I know everyone says that pvc is cheaper than metal and easier to work with but as I have begun my search I am finding that 6in 26gauge 5ft metal ducts cost about 6.75 in my area where as a 10ft pvc green drain pipe at the blue store cost $35. Metal fittings are also 1/3 the price than pvc.
Am I missing something or is it just in my area it’s cheaper to go metal.
As far as working with metal, I really don’t see how much harder it will be to do a bit of snipping and foil tape wrap couplers. I am assuming everyone building a shop is handy so I can’t imagine the work being much more difficult than with pvc. Am I missing something
Finally going with metal I would not have to worry about that never ending debate whether or not garage will blow up because of static electricity
am I missing something?
thank you all in advance.
