Wow. This thread was posted back in 2009 !
TexasCotton, you asked for suggestions. Here are mine :
Some recycling centers will have coroplast signage. I know the one in Houston did a few years back when I lived there.
They will give you as much as you can haul home.
Also, election signs are great, but you have to wait for the right timing, and unfortunately, you can't just go take one off of a fence once the elections are done.
Lastly, I work at bLowes. I had several large sheets of coroplast - some as large as 2' x 6' that were going in the dumpster. Resets happen quite often, and also, several of the boxes that products come in in the outside garden deptment are made of coroplast. To get it though, you have to have good timing and follow up on it.
When you go to a store, ask to speak to a PSA. These are the guys that do the resets.
Say that your wife wants it for the garden, and that it makes an excellent choice for use in the flower beds because it stays rigid. ( or something like that )
Ask when the resets might happen, and follow up with them regularly. They don't give a crap, and any inconvenience on them, results in them throwing it away, so you have to check back with them regularly.
Also, explain that the sign won't be displayed in public, since they will be reluctant to give the signage to you for legal reasons.
If you dont have any luck at one store, try another till you get what you need.
Good luck !
