Default LF eggcrate

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.
