What's that in real dimensions?

B&Q sell aluminium sheet.


AIUI 3 metres is about 10 feet - B&Q metal sheets aren't *that* big
:-)


True, but perhaps if it is to be jointed more than one joint would be ok.


The OP said it doesn't matter if it's in 2 pieces. Ignoring the
overlap for joining I still haven't seen any ali sheets in (a very
big) B&Q anywhere near 5 feet long. (Apart from possible roof cladding
in the emporium).
