The load-bearing capacity of plexiglass (acrylic) depends on its thickness and the specific application. Generally, thicker sheets can support more weight; for instance, a 1/4-inch thick sheet can hold around 100 pounds over a small area. However, for larger spans or heavier loads, proper support and engineering considerations are essential to prevent breaking or warping. Always consult manufacturer specifications or a structural engineer for precise applications.
