Yeah, wood isn't too bad until it gets damp.

Many materials are available:
PVC pipe
PVC rectangular building materials from Best Buy and Lowes
Clear sheet Plexiglass (acrylic); cracks easily
Clear sheet Lexan (polycarbonate) 1/4" thick; my favorite
Black sheet Delrin (acetal); best insulator, but expensive
