Anyone know where they can be purchased at a decent price? My budget is tighter than most probably so price is an issue. Thanks for your help .

go to Home Depot/Lowe's and get the white shower board. It comes in sheets 4'x8' and screw it to the wall. It works just as good. The only thing is that there is not tray for the markers.

I'd go ask for a donation. Staples or Office Max first, then any hometown office supply store. You might not have to buy one. Just tell them what you are using it for.

I saw in a coaching magazine a marker board on big wheels to take out on the practice field, it even had a basket on the back to hold balls and such. Looked pretty neat, dont know if I would need it for 300 dollars though. new2veer

how hard would it be to buy or make a tray to keep markers? is it light enough to be portable? Thanks for the cool advice!! I will ask for a donation and then try the shower board..sweet. You guys are smarter than the average bear!!

if you want it to be portable, just cut it to size that you want. You can cut a hole for a handle to carry. If you think it is too flimsy, you can glue/screw some braces to it.
I wouldn't worry about a tray if you are going to use in on the sidelines, the markers will get knocked off. I would attach a shoe string or rope to the board and tape the cap of a marker to the other end, that way they will stay together.
You can always keep a couple of extra in the medicine/equipment kit or in your pocket.
If you want a stand, you could either make it yourself or buy an art easel.

Good suggestions! I was looking for a large dry erase board and had no idea I could use shower board.
You guys just saved me like $100. (But don't ask for free beer now.)

I bought several pieces of the shower board from Home Depot.. Had one piece cut to fight snug in the window sill of my office.. have 2 windows, one of which leads to another out of use lockerroom.. so now its not a window.. but a framed white board..
Love the stuff.. and for the price you cant beat it..

If you don't want to lug it around by hand and you want it to be portible, drill a hole at two corners and run some rope through it (not really sure if this will work with shower board). I guess if the shower board is to flimmsy, you could frame it along the edges for more support.

You can also route a handle into the shower board itself.

found it!!! I had to go to the PANELING SECTION. It was an event to strap two 4x8 pieces to my Honda Element, thankful the Home Depot was only 5 miles from my school!!
