Can anyone suggest a type/vendor for lightweight cylindrical foam,
desired diameter approximately 1.5-2" and length 4-6'? Looking for
something resistant to water -- non-absorbent, light, and stiff
(negligable to no bending under own weight at 4-5 feet length).
Looking for something reasonably sturdy -- something that can
withstand about 8-10 pounds hung mid-point between a 4' cylinder that
is supported at both ends horizontally.

This is for a science project. Thanks for any suggestions!!!

Reiterating: "foam" in a rod shape no greater than
two inches in diameter, 4-5 ft in length, that
can support 8-10 pounds at mid point? I can think
of NOTHING other than a solid wooden dowel or
a hollow piece of pipe that could support that
much weight without sagging.
