Source for perforated metal in Calgary

[MrPin]

Now for my 1millionth question 😛
A few of you are from Calgary, so you might be able to help me with this, where can I get perforated Metal in this town for relatively cheap?
And how much is cheap?

McMaster will ship to Calgary if you can't find it elsewhere: http://www.mcmaster.com/ This is the cheapest source of perforated metal I've been able to find.

let your fingers do the walking

Try the yellow pages. Sheet metal, perforated metal or expanded metal. A couple of calls and a few requests for direction ought to get you where you need to be.
If you plan on insulating the perf metal I would suggest you check out the pages under powder coating and see who will coat the sheet with nylon. There should be a number of shops happy to do so. Keep us all posted as to how things work out. Regards Moray James.

IIRC it was $150 per 4 x 8 sheet (1/16 thick)
