The HD near me used to carry melamine particle board in 3/4" x 49 x 97

isn't any help, either.

Anybody know what their stock number is for that stuff?


My local HD got rid of their 4x8 panels last fall. However, Menards still
carries them.

It appears that we're all assuming we know exactly that the OP's talking
about. Perhaps he needs to clarify. When he says "particle board" that
could mean paneling -- but only if it's 1/8" thick (or so) and not 3/4" thick.
I assumed, because of the thickness that he's talking about MDF. But it
could be that he does mean paneling and that his dimensions are off....

Once upon a time..
I ran across sheets of 3/4" MDF (clad 2 sides in melamine) at Lowes.
I'd never seen it in stock before. It seemed like it'd save time. I
figured I'd use it for table tops, cabinets, shelves, etc for the
shop/garage." And so I bought a couple sheets. Since then, I've used
it for fixtures, wheeled cabinets, and various cross-cut sleds as well.
