HELP HELP Where to buy the "pink" rigid styrofoam

I checked all over Las Vegas and cannot find it. Checked with both Lowes and Home Depot without any luck. Not even to have them order them in. I am about to put together my deck and is hold up because of this.

i have the same problem here in florida. i think it has something to do with lack of need in this area in the building industry. seems they use it alot up north for basement homes... we have no basements here!!!!
i was going to go with 2 part foam and try to fig. a way to get in without it blocking up all the ribs in the hull to allow the water to run back(alum. boat)
have since gone to the noodle side (pool noodles). once you get past the shock you realize they are just colorfull tubes of extruded polystyrene.
several have gone this way. check out ezmobe's thread

good luck

I had the same problem. I ended up buying 2 part foam, making a quick mold and pouring my own foam sheets/blocks. I then cut them to fit. I also used a few pool noodles to fill a couple of spaces.

Do an internet search for Pregis and find out if they have any business in your area. Pregis makes an excellent closed cell foam in 1", 2" and even 3" sheets....... same stuff as a pool noodle
