Where would I get thin steel sheet to put on a wall?

My daughter got two boxes of a toy called Frigits a Christmas or two ago, but we are moving to a house where the fridge is enclosed on three sides, and the kitchen is small, so we can't have that game going on or even all over the fridge anymore. I thought it might be more fun if it was on a wall in a hallway, or heck even in the living room, we like to fool with it too. :greg: It doesn't need to be very thick, and maybe only 4x8 or so. It does need to be flat however. Where would I find something like this without breaking the bank? Maybe it would find other uses too, like a magnetic bulletin board.

Home Depot carries small sheets of various thicknesses. There is also magnetic paint.

Pdm they deliver. 4x10 gal about $65 for 20 ga just ordered some last week.

Lowes does as well. Normally I wouldn't suggest Lowes or Homedepot for metal but for small sheet like that you would probably only spend 5 bucks on it at either store.

EDIT: Just re-read your post, I thought you were looking for a small piece, so don't do Lowes or Homedepot their stuff is too expensive for that.

Triple S Steel in Salt Lake should be able to take care of you.

I also saw that magnetic paint idea on tv. Sounded cool

+1 on magnetic paint. I took a piece of ply board, coated it in a few coats of magnetic paint, and presto!

Check into HVAC they usually make ducting out of flat sheets about 3' wide.

check with your local hvac shops, i get a 4/10 of 24 g galvinized for about $25

Good ideas with the HVAC suggestions, I will check that out. As for Lowes/HD, I don't need a small small piece, that's what they usually have. The magnetic paint might work okay for tacking a postcard to a wall, but it won't hold this stuff to the wall when the marble hits it, but it's a pretty neat product too.

NPS has some thin sheets too.
