Hey guys, those of you who have used metal panels for garage ceiling, where did you buy them? I'm not having much luck finding basic interior panels in CT/Tri-State area. Did you buy them locally or have them shipped? I did search this site and didn't find too many leads.
Source for metal ceiling panels?

I'm out in the woods in nowheresville but there's a place about 30 miles away that rolls it out through dies to a couple different rib patterns, any color, any length. Surely to goodness there must be a place like this near you.

Try a local lumberyard. I used National lumber in central MA for barn siding and trim
What exactly did you search, what words ? This may be part of your issue.
Don't use "metal panels"
try something like . . .
ribbed metal siding
pole building materials
post frame supplies
Amish builders
liner panels
Who in your area puts up the post frame buildings ? Where are they getting their supplies ?

Yes, usually is.
If you're referring to my comment about not using "metal panels", that was in reference to search words trying to find what he needs. He may need to be more specific when utilizing his GoogleFu if he's having trouble searching.
I wasn't, but I agree.
Any metal roofing supplier should be able to get 29 gage panels in whatever color he wants and most lengths. Home depot may have them in stock in a few options
@MikeC55 where in CT? I see a few ABC locations. Best bet may be a smaller yard, but not sure where/what's around you

Around the corner from me a couple of miles is a rolling facility that is owned by a Beacon wholesale building supply next door. They roll the panels in both 29 and 26 gauge.

Looks like they offer 22 and 24 gage...

I figured they would be a good candidate for at least a phone call, although they look higher end than liner panels
Thanks, guys. I was searching on 'metal ceiling panels'. I'll try the alternates. I'm between Danbury and Norwalk and will check with a local lumber yard (Rings End). I'm not sure who does metal buildings / pole barns in this area. I think 22/24 gage is a little heavier than for my needs.
I'd be shocked if they can't get it
Edit: these guys definitely do, as I buy ABC up here and they list it:

I’ve purchased from my local lumberyard and Menards.
Menards is cheaper.

Menards is a midwest thing. The farthest east they go is Morgantown WV so the OP isn't going to have one locally

Road Trip!
Point being, your local lumberyard should be able to get the steel, but it’s not going to be the lowest price.

And neither are the big box stores, including Menards. The lowest cost supplier will be the folks that roll the metal in house. In most populous regions one should be within 100 miles.
