    Finding coroplast

    Hey, i've been looking up coroplast and i think i found a place i can get it for pretty cheap but i'm too nervous about purchasing things online to do it. I was just wondering if anyone around Denver Colorado could give me the link to where they bought it from. i just don't trust online stuff and if someone has a place they bought it from and they trust then that would help me out a lot. I live in Castle Rock, CO so anywhere around here would be great.

    Oh, jeez......you poor thing. I have neither the time nor patience to shop, so buying online is a real time-saver for me. I buy everything from tech items to bluegrass hay to shoes, clothes, etc. BTW, when you are looking for "Coroplast", be aware that is a trade name. The "generic" name is corrugated plastic and may be sold under another brand.

    Many of us buy from Sabic Polymershapes which has locations around the country and some international locations. You can generally get a 4'x8' sheet for around $12. They will cut it to size for you, but generally won't score it. Many outlets carry a variety of colors.

    They appear to have only one Colorado location. You can find it on the branch locator listed above, but may be able to link directly to it for store hours, etc.

    Haha... i know, i'm so paranoid. I've seen some real good deals online! Just... too paranoid. I have to buy the cubes from walmart online... good thing about walmart is you can use gift cards online so i'm going to go to walmart and get a giftcard and use that online.... If that shows you how pathetic i am . feel free to make fun of my over-carefulness.

    That's great! thanks! i'll definitely go take a look, Denver isn't that far away and i'll certainly look at that. I should've realized that coroplast is a brand name... thanks for telling me. $12 is not bad at all. Thanks so much!

    Just wanted to point out - if you're driving all the way to Denver (not sure how close you are to it but it was never a fun trip for me from CO springs) you want to make sure you have space in your vehicle to take the coroplast home...

    Well i'm about half the distance you are from denver and i actually used to work in denver so the trip itself wont be bad. i've got a jeep Cherokee i'm hoping it'll fit when i put the seats down, but i'll be sure to measure first! don't wanna waste gas!

    i just ordered the cubes!!! so excited! can't wait till they come in!

If that shows you how pathetic i am . feel free to make fun of my over-carefulness. You can also use paypal to pay for things online, and load your paypal account from a prepaid cash card...helps keep you safe too. I used paypal for lots of things, and even got a debit card through them...

    When I buy a 48x 96 coroplast sheet, the store rolls and tapes it for me. I'm not sure how they do it because I've never been able to, but they've done it for me. I have a small car and it fits in my back seat.

    You could score it in half if needed or cut it and re tape it.

    When I bought coroplast from the store, it wasn't as big of a sheet as yours (I wanna say it was 36x60) and they didn't tape it for me so I had a heck of a time getting it in my Volvo!

    @Rhinos_mom - I think it would be easier with a Jeep Cherokee! Good luck!

    THANK YOU!! I did a search for them and they have an area about an hour away from us but for the 60 in by 120 in is less than $30. That saves us so much money and I will have some left over for other things that I had planned on doing with the cage. The only down size is they only have white.
