I need a flat sheet of metal to cover a wooden tool box and for various other occasional projects. Corrugated roofing is available at a reasonable price but the flat metal that I've found is sky high. Does anyone know a good source. I'm near the point of trying to flatten the corrugated stuff.

Look up a roofing distributor in your area. If they don't stock what your looking for they should know of a local sheet metal shop that will shear and break if you desire any kind of sheet metal you want. They should have 26 ga to 16 ga as well as 032 alum .

Go to a sheet metal shop (HVAC} or a supplier they'll have whatever you need.

Depending on the size of the pieces you're looking for, I'd suggest your local recycling center. They may have a lot of old duct work and stuff you might be able to pick out what you need and pay just a little more than what they gave for it.

This. Most any competent HVAC shop should be able to help. Lots of flat sheets of galvanized metal.

Thanks guys. You've given me some options I hadn't thought of.

If you have a local source for corrugated, just ask them for metal BEFORE it is ran through the corrugator/former. It can be cut to length.

How big of a sheet is needed? You can get galvanized HVAC sheet at Lowes/HD for pretty cheap. I think they have 36"x48" sheets for about $8 if I remember right.

My local source is Lowes and I think the roofing is corrugated when they get it.
