You will pay a price premium, but out of area suppliers will cut and ship to you.

It seems a bit odd to me that an entire side of the country can't get it, but it's available at pretty much every aluminum supplier out here.

Seems like an offseason task to find someone who will freight 2000' of it or something, and split it among teams.

Quite a few west coast teams use 100+ feet per year, so 2000' could go really fast among a good size group.
