Is there a name we can google for these? I've been using Smartside engineered stuff that is primed and painting it. It runs $30-$35 for a 4x8 sheet. I then have the cost and time for painting it. In my climate, plastic sheets of some sort would be worth looking into.
Thanks,

no not really, I found them by searching for plastic sheets and things showed up, I found about 10 guys within a 100 miles of me selling them at the time I was first looking
and since then, Facebook market place gets more adds and viewers so, I would start there
when I got them for my building I was paying 10 bucks a 4x8 sheet 1/4 inch thick,( black in color some had some slight scratches, but I didn't care)s) the ones for my inside of my trailer I got 5'x10' x1/8 inch for 15 bucks each, (brand new white with protective film on both sides, have a few left still LOL)
they were perfect to fit from my kicker to top, , the guy I got them off had them in 1/8-1/4-1/2-3/8--3/4 and 1 inch thick one's at the time
the thicker they got the more costly they got, I think at the time, 1 inch thick one's were like 65 bucks, 55 for 3/4 and 45 for 1/2 inch
they were in mostly white and black, with a few other colors(red, blue green brown)
he doesn;'t ALWAYS have them, he gets them when ever his supplier has them, and he gets them in BULK, 100-500 sheets at a time, then doesn;'t get more typically till there all gone, and then repeat!
prices have gone up over the yrs, but still a once and done deal, no painting, or rotting away, water proof
so, to me be a good option if I build any more blinds!
weight wise, there not super light either, some might be heavier than wood, and maybe more work, as I would always pre drill holes, to not worry about cracks and I just used roofing screws with the rubber washer to attach them to things on building, and stainless steel screws on trailer!
I would just search craigslist and like sites in your area and see what turns up!
also, some home depot and like stores carry things, mostly in white though>
but they can be stained black brown, using wood stain I Imagine pretty easy, I know the white panels in my trailer get stains pretty easy LOL
here is a link, I seem some in the 1/4-1/2 and even 5/4 at some stores up my way at times!
