    Look in the phone book under plastics and check Home Depot.

    Over ten years ago I made a sump out of plastic from a local plastic store. There are places online as well, but I don't think you'll save that much on so little plastic. It was really cheap for just a couple nice size sheets. I cut it up and glued it together and it worked well.
