Most PVC conduit is labeled as "UV resistant," and the spacers I've made 
using 1/2-in PVC conduit has held up fairly well. I wouldn't put stress 
on it, but it works for a pretty long time as spacers. PVC conduit is so 
cheap and easy to cut and drill, why would you want to use something 
that probably has no UV resistance?
