I did the google search and there is virtually zip in the US. I could buy
from New Zealand but the shipping prevents this. I will go root out home
depot once more and Lowes too. I have been in both and thought I had seen
every aisle but I suppose it didn't register in my mind.

Thanks to all how helped.

Does anyone know where I could find say, 6 sheets of this stuff?
Google
turns up zip.


Last time I was in one, HD had some in stock. Don't know about Lowes.


Look at any building supply or farm supply.


What you can't find is the really heavy "corrugated tin" that the
machine shed and other outbuildings here were built with. Of course,
w/ the price of metal these days, one wouldn't want to even consider
what it would cost if could...



In addition, here's on manufacturer/distributor in the US w/ their
product line visible. If they're anywhere even close, could call them
and ask for distributor/retailers.

Here, in farming country, there are ad's in the paper daily from the
barn/shed-building people offering packages and material every day.
Less of a selection of cross-sections, perhaps, but easily accessible.

What are you looking for as usage would perhaps also narrow down some,
but I think you'll do best to just start looking locally at the non-
big-box building supply places.

It will be used to extend the overhang on my driveway.
