Where are folks buying Tyvek?

[Tolland County]

....especially the blank stuff? I don't see it in anywhere the materials thread - and my local chain stores apparently only sell the stuff that's branded. I'd prefer to buy locally, not only because we need it by Saturday but also to avoid the shipping costs.

Any help would be great......

Got mine at Lowes 3 X100 for $43. It has 1 side blank and the other side with the Tyvek logos.

9' x 150' Lowes $140

Don't buy the Tyvek unless you have exhausted other options.

First call around to all the local billboard companies (Lamar, Clear Channel, CBS, et) and ask if you can have their scrap vinyl that they throw away after taking it down off the billboards.

I got 20,000 sq feet of vinyl for free! They even helped load it for me! This would have been thousands of thousands of dollars if I went out and purchased it. And it is 100x more tough than tyvek. It will withstand 10 years of winter in the arctic circle, and still be in good shape, imo.

We've given up and are going full on Cardboard...The signs are temporary...why do we need them to hold up so well?

I don't know this but we can probably give them a better price than the recyclers and still make out. 1000 sq ft foot of windproof material $30 just adjust paint colors. Here is windproof material for$.03 a sq/ft They have different colors like silver still cheaper tha tryvek
