[Usittne] Corrugated metal ideas?

[Timothy_McKenna]

Hi Rob; 

Tim McKenna of Emerson College here.

I typed the words "corrugated metal in to Google and came up with a large
number of vendors. 

An 4 x 8 sheet might be a low as $6 - $8 depending on gauge and
shipping/transport costs.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Usittne] Corrugated metal ideas?

Hi all. We are looking to make some wood chairs with backs covered in
corrugated metal. Ideally, we would do this with metal of a thinner gauge
than actual roofing, for weight/cost/ease of use. But also, due to the abuse
these chairs will probably receive (and the fact the director will probably
try to use them as percussion instruments of a sort), we don't want to use
corrugated plastic sheeting instead. I'm toying with the idea of purchasing
thin gauge sheet metal panels and creating a jig to corrugate them myself.
Thought I'd pass this along in case any of you have experience working with
a lightweight corrugated metal material that you can share. Maybe the real
deal will be just fine, not sure yet.
 
Thanks.
