I did the google search and there is virtually zip in the US. I could buy
from New Zealand but the shipping prevents this. I will go root out home
depot once more and Lowes too. I have been in both and thought I had seen
every aisle but I suppose it didn't register in my mind.

Thanks to all how helped.

Forget google other than to look at stock of anybody who shows
building supplies online for local availability (and be aware many
don't show mundane building materials online as, obviously, shipping
for small quantities obviates the sense in trying to sell such
materials online).

Whether a local HD or Lowes will keep it in stock will depend in large
part, I suspect, on whether the locale is a major metro area or more
rural. I don't recall ever seeing it in Knoxville, TN, stores, but
noticed it was in the Garden City, KS, HD. As in the other thread on
a house, "location, location, location".

Look in the yellow pages in your local phone book for building
supplies and make a few phone calls. Again, a larger farm supply (not
knowing where you're located makes a particular name somewhat futile)
would be a prime candidate.

In addition, here's on manufacturer/distributor in the US w/ their
product line visible. If they're anywhere even close, could call them
and ask for distributor/retailers.

Here, in farming country, there are ad's in the paper daily from the
barn/shed-building people offering packages and material every day.
Less of a selection of cross-sections, perhaps, but easily accessible.

What are you looking for as usage would perhaps also narrow down some,
but I think you'll do best to just start looking locally at the non-
big-box building supply places.

It will be used to extend the overhang on my driveway.

Do you have to match an existing pattern or is anything usable?
Painted, galvanized, galvalume, aluminum? Gauge? All pertinent
variables.
