Does anyone know where I could get a reasonably priced 4' x 8' sheet of coroplast near annapolis (or online)?

Try this place. Not sure how far it is from you. Members here have bought from them for $10 - $20 per sheet, depending on the location.

Some Home Depots carry them. Only in white for ~$14.

I only saw 36 x 72 on the website for Home Depot, which wouldn't be big enough.

How big are you planning to make your cage? You can tape the sheets together.

36" wide isn't enough for a 2 grids wide cage. I would make either a 2x4 or a 2x5.

If you make the walls 4.5", the Home Depot sheet is big enough for a 2x4.5 grids cage.

I'm worried about the sides then being too short to contain... Stuff.

I got two sheets from here (in Jessup, near Fort Meade) two weeks ago. $12 each. The guy who filled out my order asked me if I was getting a guinea pig. :) Make sure you have a vehicle that can hold it, I had the seats down in my van and still needed to curve it to get it all in.

It can be rolled.
I've put it in the back seat of a Honda Accord.

Ah, that might have been what the guy who handed me the coroplast was trying to tell me. I'm deaf, and I was late so missed most of it, and didn't ask him to repeat, just shoved it in and left. ;-)

Maybe your local Home Depot? Look online to see if they carry it. I saw some, but the Home Depots near me do not carry it. :/ Or what I did was look up sign makers in my area and then called the closest one. He sold me two sheets for less than if I went to the city to by it. I'm in small town Indiana. ;)
