LF eggcrate

[hillegom]

So I went to Home Depot and Rona. Yes, they do have it. I have been looking for the stuff that is 1/2 to 1 inch thick with preference given to 1 in. All I find is 1/4 in thick ones.
Thickness seems to have changed for the stores to save money! LF a 2x4 ft sheet.
Thanks

I phoned the Richmond HD, and they could not find the black eggcrate. Just silver and white, what they call 3/8 inch deep. Nothing like going there yourself, though. I had to do a lot of talking to make the salesman understand what I wanted. He didn't really want to go look for it.
Phoned Ind plastics, they are getting back to me.
I found a place, Walsh something in Bby that has some larger sheets, 2x4 ft. 1.5x1.5 in holes, 1inch deep. But they want $55 per sheet for it. Wow!! Cheaper to buy two sheets from HD lol I only want the sheet for putting under the gravel.

How does it go over for you folks when you tell people you are looking for 'eggcrate'? Haha. Or is that just the way people say it on here and not when out looking? I always find myself correcting the 'eggcrate' expression and having to say lighting diffuser for anyone to think im not a fool. :lol:

Thank you pinhead, the 1/2 in eggcrate is just what I wanted.
