Diamond Plating in Sac

Any place in Sac to get a sheet of diamond plate?

All ive found so far is Home Depot and looks like they only have a 2ftx4ft sheet for about $35.

Im possibly looking for something close or around 4ftx4ft.

There is a shop in Bay Area that specializes in diamond plates.
They also have a website on Ebay, I believe they can custom cut the plate
Some contacts:
www.trillionalum.com

You could try Metal Craft Warehouse in west sac. I always get metal for my projects there, they are always really helpful and give student discounts.

http://metalcraftwarehouse.com/

EDIT: http://metalcraftwarehouse.com/table...lum_sheet.html is the page with stock numbers you can call them with so they can get you pricing. Third group down. I can almost guarantee you it will be cheaper than Home Depot.

Try S&K steel in sacremento, they have it all. I have bought allot of material from there, and there is no minimum and the price is right.
