Copper Sheets

Post by dzul »

where do you guys find copper sheets? I live in the United states in the PNW and can not seem to find any source of copper sheeting.

Try Metal Supermarkets in Kent? Their website says they carry, or sell .021 to .032 sheet copper.
Just search "sheet metal suppliers near me". There are several results for the west side of Washington. Depending on where you are in the PNW, I'm sure there's a place within driving distance.

dzal,
check your locals, we have kijiji, you have craigslist. I bought 1/2 sheet from someone that took it off a ceiling and/or copper wall art pots/planters. (if they aren't soldered, or cut it out)
High end roofers use it for flashing and valleys.
Scrapyards may have it, but you have to ask and not always.
Metal supply and plumbing supply.
Know what you want. First time I bought 20 gauge, .031". I have lots now, if I go over 10 gal, or maybe for a bottom.
I got 24 gauge, .020" for my thumper and I would use it for upto about 6 gal.
