I'm not sure where I heard this, or what material it's used on, but the myth has it that if use fill the tube with sand it won't collapse.

Yeah, I've read that too. Ice as well. The sticks I have coming have just a slightly thicker wall so hopefully I'll get it on the first one. If not I'm using frozen quick-sand on the 2nd

You'll just have to try it out and see what you get for results.
You may be right, but if I can control the temp at all I'll be happy. With no way to completely shut off the vent I don't want heated wind flowing through there in the summer.
