Hi There Everyone,

I have come to you timber experts for guidance, I am looking to make a table tennis top for my pool table, the main problem is that i need 2 pieces of MDF which are about 12mm thick and 1370x1530.

I have been to Bunnings but was told to get anything larger than 1200 wide i would have to buy a pack of 60!

I live in the sth east suburbs of melbourne or can go down the mronington peninsula, would be very greatful if anyone could suggest somewhere where i could buy two sheets of MDF these sizes.

I really dont want to pay $380 for the setup from the shops.

thanks in advance

Brett

G'day Brett and welcome to the world of the frustrated.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup::D:D

Try another supplier if possible.

Another approachwould be to go to the local Mitre 10 like Idid in a similar situation. A couple of cover sheets ( the sheets used on the outside of packs and slightly damaged ) cut to size and joined did the trick. Cost me $25 and some time and effort.

Welcome Brett...have you checked out suppliers on-line - someone should have what your looking for.

Hey Brett,

I found bunnings OK for regular size stuff but for irregular sizes try a timber supplier, like Mr Ply&Wood or I'm sure they'd have similar shops in Melb

Hi Brett

Contact Nover (in Bayswater), they stock a large range of MDF and sell them individually.

Ask for Kylie, Glen or Rob and tell them Paul from Eastern Creek sent you.

I work for Nover here in Sydney.

Good luck.
