Call sign shops in your area. That is your best bet for cheap coroplast.

Ditto Inle_rabbit. Google "plastic signs" and the name of your city, and you'll come up with a lot of places. You can also click on "Find Coroplast" at the top of the page, and search within your city.

Another thing you could try doing is looking in the phone book for sign shops. Most sign shops carry coroplast. Tell them you're using it to make a cage for a guinea pig, and most of the time they'll give you a discount. I was able to buy a 8ft by 4ft piece for $20. I had one shop quote me $45, so I just kept looking. Call around for the best prices.

The other thing you could do is call around to political places to see if they have any old signs they're getting rid of from the elections. I don't know if anyone would have any right now, but it's worth a shot since they're free.

I called a sign shop that I had done business with in the past. They gave me a 4x8 sheet for $15.00. That is the way to go. Anywhere that makes yard signs or political signs should be able to sell you a full sheet.

Sign shops won't always have it in stock and usually not in colors. I found a plastics store that had 4x8 sheets for $14 in about 10 colors. So, do a search for a plastic company first.

Local elections just got over-call around to see if you can some of the big signs for free!
