I don't need it to be long but would like to get the fattest one I can find. PVC doesn't seem to go past a few inches.

Is this for shipping a ton of prints? I'd consider shipping flat if that is the case. They tend to slide all over the place once you put too many in a tube.

Kinda just wanted to store 1 or 2 of my longer prints (~44") long term. I don't have the space to store them flat so I figured if I get a nice thick tube to put them in for an year, it won't be as bad as in a 4" tube.

6" will be more than enough (that's what she said).

That was where it was previously. Now I've gotta move it into actual storage space, thought it'd be easier to handle if it was box sized rather than long and flat.

Talk to a plumber. Sewer & water pipe is PVC. I just used a 12" scrap piece that he gave me to set a fencepost .
