Help finding Perforated DiBond or Simular
Hi
I am trying to find a 3-4mm perforated sheet. I have produced some display stands 500 x 1500mm on 3mm Di-Bond with a bend 2/3rd of the way up which have worked really well but they are for use on an airfield so wind can be have stability issues. The client has asked to re-quote using a perforated sheet to allow wind to pass through. Not re-quote this is the right way to go as I can’t see a perforated sheet would allow enough flow than of wind to increase stability.
Other options more than welcome.

Well CNC Drilling would take some time, i mean few hours on my last attempt to do something like that… so thats the only thing I can think of.
I would concentrate on fixing solution

If you are after perforated metal try:- F. H. Brundle. http://www.fhbrundle.com/

Dave I think cnc is not the route to go really as said very time consuming and costly.
John & Steve thanks looks promising thickness might be the only problem as it only goes up to 2mm and not sure if that is going to be ridged enough.
Chris I know what you are saying this is why I suggested to the client to stabilize the current units by increasing base weight and beefing up the dibond by doubling it up at the upright.
