Anyone know a source for giant whiteboard panels that I can attach to a wall... I'm trying to make a seamless whiteboard nearly 20' wide and up to 8' tall.

don't they make a paint for that?

I'm not sure how to get that size seamless. 4' x 8' tileboard at your local Mega-Hardware store works brilliantly. Otherwise maybe try Plexiglas/Lucite. Glass works too.

getting that seamless is going to be tough. That's a hell of a delivery shipment even if you can get it manufactured like that.

as co2 said... hardware store. They're shower boards or something. I used to use them. They do go bad after 6-12 months depending on use... but I never did take care of mine.
... and they are damn cheap. Just use those.

Thanks all. I did find http://www.mywhiteboards.com/whi…
But they're expensive. I'll look at "shower boards" or whatever they're called.
I'm also concerned about adhesive backed options (like whiteboard wallpaper), since we're only leasing our office and wouldn't like to have to replace drywall if we leave.
- Put something between the adhesive whiteboard + the drywall. Plywood. Wallpaper. Whatever.EricStralow

Some more good discussion here:
http://chrismetcalf.net/blog/arc…It looks like my best bet is to mount shower boards on MDF with liquid nails. I'm still unsure how I'm going to attach the board to the walls though. Any suggestions?
From the comments I'm also going to build a few workstation desktops the same way. I'll use IKEA table legs and mount the giant MDF whiteboards on top.
