    The smallest I seem to be able to find in my area is 16ga galv. sheetmetal. Anyone know of and dealers in the area for some 18ga?

    16ga is usually the cutoff for most suppliers i've tried. Have you looked up Alamo Ironworks in SA?

    depending on the size of the piece you need, some Menards and Home Depots stock a pretty decent selection of 18 & 20 gauge cold rolled. I've lucked out in the past and been able to pick up 2'x3' sheets of cold roll 18 gauge from them.

    That said, I've noticed it is total hit or miss and really depends on the store. Some have crap for steel stock, the menards they built up the road from me now has a huge selection of the stuff, where the old one it replaced had next to nothing. And the one a city over, also has next to nothing.. so it does vary.

    Thanks guys! Yeah locally they mainly have the thicker stuff because of the refineries, plants, and mills in the area. Funny thing- I work at a steel mill but we only make coiled rod and rebar... nothing that I need haha. I will check those out- thanks again for the info guys!

    You should be able to find it in Beaumont. Have you tried any of the commercial HVAC or Mechanical companys? If they wont sell you a sheet they sould be able to tell you where to get some.

    Most of the Tractor Supply Stores have a good selection of sheet stock and diamond plate.
    I bought several sheets of 18Ga. at Curtiss Steel on West 11TH in Houston.
