    Looking for expanded PVC foam board supplier

    I'm looking to build some things, and am hoping someone has some experience with buying the PVC foam board online. Or if there's somewhere around a city that would typically carry it in thicknesses that'd be good for cages that'd be great too. I'd like to find a place that will do the cuts for me as well, since I don't have access to those sorts of tools and couldn't cut a straight line if my life depended on it.

    Thanks in advance!

    Do a search for plastic sheets in your state.
    I have found 1/2" sheets for $140-75. So call around to make sure you get the best price.

    If you have a skill saw you can cut straight lines with ease! Use a chalk line and mark a relatively straight line, cut as close as you can with the skill saw. Use the factory edge (the side you didnt cut) as your straight edge and run the skill saw along it!

    We have a distributor here in Daytona and the lady I talked to was GREAT! Even mailed me 12"x12" samples of their materials so I could chose.

    Re: Looking for expanded PVC foam board supplier

    Funny thing, in the craigslist for virginia about two months ago, someone was trying to move 100 sheets of expanded pvc for cheap.... I tried to contact him to see if he would ship and he said no.

    It was richmond VA, and the add is no longer available.....

    Hate to bring up such an old thread but has anyone had any success getting this stuff lately at a reasonable price? If so, where did you get it.
    Thanks,
    Steve
