We needed some (smaller dimensions) about that thickness too, and ended up having to use duct tape to hold several layers together. Would be interested to know for future reference if you find something that thick! For the galvanized steel, it should be available out of Albuquerque...

There is a Albertan company that manufactures insulated building panels. They might be able to provide some help. Not sure if they could actually supply the material, but worth checking out. www.abetterpanel.com

Good luck

You gotta love CR4 for the thinking people. I did find one place that could go as high as 16ft. by 48in by 40in after doing the global spec sec. though it took an hour. thanks. Still looking for a second source though, and got me thinking of other things.

thanks for those that posted and any others that come through.
