I found Coroplast in two craft stores last night, it only had one color white. And one size too 20 in x 30 in. And it was $5.00 really spendy. But I just wanted tell every one who can't find coroplast to keep looking. Especially in craft stores.
 
Wow! Thanks for the tip! Never would have throught to look there! lol
 
We have "Michael's" craft stores here in Ohio and they don't carry it.
 
we have hobby lobby and they have some, Its in poster board type sizes though. And shes right youve just got to keep on looking, we found a sign shop about a mile or so away from our house that we hadn't even thought of, they will sell me a 8'x10' sheet for $20, I can have my pick of colors and they'll order but if I get blue they will give me a good deal because its just sitting in the storeroom (I guess humungus sheets of blue coroplast arnt really in high demand lol). If you absoultly can't find I know a website with reasonable prices for it not sure about shipping but pm me if you wan the like.
 
They will even cut it for free if I figure out the size I want it, and they may actually the little slits where you bend it too, I need to get the size then draw them a picture of where I want the cuts and they are going to try!! They have all these big tables so it would be easy for them, then we'll stick it in the pick up and drive it the mile home, then build WALA! Im so grateful i found this store. Once I get home everything will hopefully be precut so ill just finish building the cage bottom.

I found coroplast in "Micheals" and "Craft Where house", they only had small sizes but if you were looking to make a travel carrier, or just to babyproof some stuff it would work!

Wow! It was no where near us.............
 
Only problem with 20"x30" is piecing it together to make a sufficient sized cage.

I get cheap coroplast. I can only get it in white, but for about $10 a sheet(4'x8'), I don't complain.
 
Its a local sign shop, pm me if you live in MN or near and would like the name of the shop... I dont know if they have a website but I'll bet it isn't cheap to ship.

I will probably get a blue sheet from their stock room, its that sort of light blue alot of people in the photo galleries have. The lady said I might be able to talk the guys into a deal, so maybe $15 or so and they'll probably cut for me. Its a really great place, and I dont think Ill beat the price. Plus we can send over the truck because they are so close to our house!
 
its so cool, because its like the only place is my area at all and its extremly close plus the color choice and cutting it for me is always good ;)

Oh, do tell!!! Where do you get it for only $10?
 
its $20 but they will probably give me a deal on the blue, which i will probably get. It's just a really local sign shop in the small town I live in, but if you LIVE near rochester MN i'd be happy to point you in the right direction :) I dont think you'd want to drive all the way from ohio for cheap coroplast hehe
 
I got a 4x8 sheet for $8.00 in Missouri at FastSigns. They don't charge for color; I haven't asked if they would cut it for me and such. They have almost all colors.
 
Denise - Royal Banner INC. in Middleburg Heights.
They are listed in the "find supplies" locator on the main website here. I think they are on the last page.
 
coroplast is really expensive in craft shops here in auz..
 
I can get an 8x4 sheet at rona for about $13.62 canadian around here (and in different colours, but the only problem is that they don't stock up so sometimes you can't find the colours you want.
