Hi there,
I am trying to get some corflute but i am unsure what is cheap and what is expensive. I asked sign king in parramatta and they quoted me for 2400 x 1200 x 5mm white sheet would cost me 75 dollars. Is this a rip off? I am wondering what is the cheapest you have bought corflute for so i have a rough idea so i do not get ripped off

I went to Bunnings too but they didn't have any available for me at the time, so I went to Amber (paving people) and they had heaps of it in a pile at the back of their complex. Just help yourself they said so I did - no cost as they just throw it away!! I will go back there if and when I need to renew the corflute. I got that idea from KathrynJ who posted before.
Kind Regards, kathy

It is thinner and sometimes is scratched and stuff, and you don't get to pick the colour, but it is free!

Just go into the garden section where the pavers are, normally I find it behind the pavers, or stacked up somewhere out there, then collect it and find an employee and ask can I take this.

Last time I got some the guy said he had heaps of it, he would put it outside the collection gates for me to come and pick up in my car!!!!

Don't ask them, most of the time they never find what it is I want, be it grids, coro, whatever, I have to physically take myself to the garden section where the pavers are, and seek them out. Often they are lying behind the pallets of pavers or bricks, or sometimes a bundle of them somewhere around the outdoor garden section. You find them first, then ask, they are usually more than happy to save a walk to the bins with them!

Thanks raspberryruffle and Thanks Kathrynj for your responses. Today i had luck at Ambers:) I am delighted. Best of all i saved a lot of money because it is free :) I aslo managed to get a lot of corflute and alos bought some paver blocks from Ambers for 60c each. Which is cheap:) so now my cages won't be wet under the leaking bottles. I'm feeling esctactic. Thanks so so so much!:cheerful:
