Where can i get Black Plastic for a haunted house i see it on videos and i need to buy some.Is there any store that sells it?

home depot or lowes painting dept

In my experience, Home Depot doesn't carry the black plastic. Maybe they do now.

Lowes, hardware stores and farm supply places carry the black stuff.

If you have a farm supply store, they have HUGE rolls for covering hay bales. I just get the stuff from Lowe's but it can be hard to come by this close to Halloween.

Just saw some black tarps in the painting section at lowes.

Walmart has 10 x 25 foot rolls for $8. The plastic at walmart is only 3 mil, so it's not very sturdy.

Uline.com

That is where I purchased mine.

Wow, I never knew so many places to get black plastic before. That's the great thing about having a forum just for us.

I get mine at Wal*mart.

Home Depot does not carry it. Lowes has a good selection. I purchased a 10x100' roll of 6 mil plastic for this years haunt there. It's priced right and very sturdy.

It really depends where you are located. Here in L.A. Home Depot carries 10 or more varieties of black plastic all the way up to 20 mil and greater. On the other hand the HD does not carry foam board insulation (styrofoam, extruded foam what have you) only the beaded variety.
I think it has a lot to do with the region, here where there is a lot of investment properties, people are constantly painting/remodeling and black plastic probably in demand on the other hand the weather probably does not warrant the need to carry a huge variety of insulation.

I would suggest checking the Home Depot (or any supply store) website. Look for a way to check a location by zip code and it should show what it has in stock in the stores nearest to you. Home Depot and Lowes both have this feature on their respective websites.

Good Luck and be careful using that black plastic.. keep it away from your dungeon torches and dragons breath!
