Default sheet metal Q's

Can you recommend a source for one piece (approx. 4'x10' -- what is
standard?) of 24 gauge galvanized sheet steel? Is is sold to
fabricators in coils or something, as opposed to flat sheets?

My Google searches are yielding either fabricators or industry suppliers
with huge order quantities. I plan to call some local fabricators for
suggestions in the morning, but really I was flummoxed that I didn't find
a quick answer on the 'net.

Thanks!

Jim

Try the local sheetmetal shop. The shop I do business with sells me
flat sheets.

Jim,

Most HVAC shops will have sheets on hand, as will supply houses. Check
the Yellow Pages for Air Conditioning Equipment and/or Supplies.

Good Luck,
