Hi,

I am looking for some egg crate if someone local has some please let me know. I need this asap, i already checked homedepot and they didnt carry any. I also need something like egg crate only thiner and with much smaller opening than will let water pass but hold back fish yet durable enough not to mess with my water or breakdown.

THanks!

Home Depot carries it. If you go in there asking for 'egg crate' they'll tell you they don't carry it. You need to look in the fluorescent lighting department for 'light diffuser'. Believe me, they carry it.

I did just that. I even pulled it from their website to show them that they should carry it. I even walked the lighting sections. I will try again in another location tomorrow if i dont find anyone that can help out.

From my experience not all Home Depot carries them. However, masterswimmer is right everybody who works there do not know about egg crates.

This home depo has them, not in lighting section though. As you walk in go all the way to the left untill you hit the wall. Turn right and walk down the isle ( i think 2 isle) tjey will be on your left all the way on the bottom shelf. They might be packed in boxes. So keep your eyes out. Let me know hows your luck!!!

Can I make a guess as the to department you're directing him to find it? If it isn't in the fluorescent light area it can also be found in some HD's in the ceiling tile section (for drop ceilings). Sooooo, did I nail it? :lol:

So i picked up some egg crate and its located in the building section. This is the very last section towards the rental area or the following section past the lumber.

Thanks you everyone for all the help!

P.S - Dont bother asking anyone that works there. They will look at you with the WTF look... lol

Good to hear. I like to refer to the look as the 'deer in the headlights' look :banghead:
