Default UHMW Sheets
Where would a guy buy a sheet of 1/4” UHMW that is 4x10 or 4x8? Looking to build a Siglin sled for hauling cargo.

Try Redwood Plastics if you're in Edmonton. I used to buy them there at an old place of employment.

Check out Norwesco Industries (1983) Ltd. in Calgary. Located on 6 St. SE on the hill above Costco between Blackfoot Trail and Heritage Drive.

X2. UHMW is EXPENSIVE though. You might find that puckboard, hdpe, is cheaper and lighter, and able to do the job just as well.

I bought a sheet from a plastics outlet in Edmonton back in the 1980s.

I expect it is even easier to find now then it was then.

But I only bought one sheet, I found much cheaper alternatives.

I was using it to protect the bottom of my trapping sled. It's shocking how abrasive snow can be when you pull a wooden toboggan 100 miles at 20 mph.

Where do you live? You can go to a Orthotic shop and ask if the can order it in for you. Myrdal orthopedics in Winnipeg should be able to get it but I'm not sure if they will sell to the public

I'll second Johnsons in Edmonton. Got a sheet there this fall. Pricey stuff though.
