Humph! My brother built his deck with the plastic lumber. His looks
okay to me. I expected he got it from HD or Lowes, AKA a common
"hardware" store. But we do have Carter's and a few other lumber only
places around Central Ohio. He is asleep know. He will be awake in a
few hours.

Now you've struck a chord I can identify with. We traverse down some nasty
rabbit trails with this kind of discussion, but I do enjoy them. I'd
suggest that the definition of Mid-West does not dey rational thought. It
had a reason and a purpose, and that's not relevant to any measure today.
It became a standard. So - for me, I'm good with it based on that.
We're going to get in trouble for carrying this thread on too far...

I know this is a ridiculously old post, but since nobody ever gave a good answer..... I expect this is what you were looking for https://www.markstaar.com/recycled-plastic-lumber/poly-high-density-hdpe-plastic-lumber/
Thanks for some new names like Trimax and Polyforce -- I didn't see those.
Big minimums.
The "Midwest", by the way -- is home to TEN of the sweet 16 teams. (suck on that, rest of the country).
It starts in OHIO and ends in ST LOUIS.
Ever hear of the St Louis arch ? "The gateway to the west" ?
We also consider Iowa as part of the Midwest as they're in the Big 10 and they need "some" sort of label, or they get left out completely.
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa are the MIDWEST.

HD sells Azek here now, but it's PVC. What's "Midwest"?
What -are- you after? You stated HDPE, so you are probably thinking
about a brand. What brand? Have you called the mfgr? Do you want
virgin vinyl, PVC, composite, or what? What does your lumberyard man
who carries the decking say about it?
If you want sane answers, tell us what you searched for and why.
I searched for HDPE lumber and found dimensional lumber for decking.

I'm not sure HDPE is what you're wanting. If you want plastic
"lumber" you may be looking for products made from PVC. My small-town
lumber yard stocks products made by http://www.versatex.com/. I'm
sure there are many other vendors out there.

Why don't you start to think they manufacture the product from recycled
plastics for themselves like their web site says they do?
It appears to me they make parts for themselves; whether they do or
would sell material other than as furniture is indeterminate afaict from
the web site.
I suggest you contact them directly and ask if that's what you want.
AFAIK there isn't another; this is the first I've seen the actual
product altho I do recall some hype about the recycling possibilities
some years ago hadn't ever seen any result(s) therefrom...
=============================================================
There are two more. Renew and Trimax.
http://www.renewplastics.com/
===============================================================
I keep finding more. Rather than list them, just Google recycled structural
plastic.

Well, silly me clicked where it says "click here" It comes up if you
notice the side menu rather than follow the instructions.
You are after the smooth stuff on both sides?
I was unable to come up with a source for a small amount. My SWMBO
wanted a table / umbrella stand (small about 24 " ) for around the pool.
The material is perfect because of the weight. I wound up using TREX
deck board because no one would sell small amounts of the smooth stuff.
Once I started laying it out, she wanted the wood grained side anyway.
So I got lucky.
The stuff works well, but I had problems with screws in endgrain
breaking the pieces. I used liquid nails for all joints with SS screws.
Clamp before driving a screw in endgrain to prevent it from splitting,
of course predrill too.

FWIW, I couldn't have exactly named the states of the "Midwest". But
that little map at wikipedia does help ... And I didn't know it was an
official region in the US census.

If that were true, it would have been called "the west" back then. It
doesn't really matter how accurrate the term is or was, there is a standard

Why don't you start to think they manufacture the product from recycled
plastics for themselves like their web site says they do?
It appears to me they make parts for themselves; whether they do or
would sell material other than as furniture is indeterminate afaict from
the web site.
I suggest you contact them directly and ask if that's what you want.
AFAIK there isn't another; this is the first I've seen the actual

I think you are confused. Plastic furniture parts are not usually made
from sheets, planks, or sticks of material. The individual parts are
normally cast, injected, or extruded and are unique to each particular
product.
You've not indicated what it is you are trying to make, but you will not
find a source for what I think you're after.
If your needs can be met with acrylic or Lexan, then go to a plastic
supplier like:
Cope
http://www.copeplastics.com/
Another possibility would be to purchase sheets from toilet partition
folks like:
http://www.scrantonproducts.com/#
Man made counter tops are a type of plastic also:

What, specifically, _are_ you after?
Normal lumber yards stock (or can get) products from Azek, Versatex or
one of the other manufacturers of structural/trim lumber replacement
products.(+) As was noted elsewhere, most of these are PVC, not HDPE
(which will be quite expensive in any volume) if that's what you're
looking for. If you really are looking for the cast parts from which
many products are made as individual assemblies, there you're probably
out of luck unless you want to buy them by the car (or container) load
direct from the manufacturer.
Or, try Outwater
<http://www.outwatercatalogs.com/home/index.cfm>
(+) If you're not positive what these are, Fine Homebuilding
(www.taunton.com indirectly) did a comparison article some couple or
three years ago that compared the various products. While similar,
they're not all made alike and have different characteristics depending
on the fabrication technique and materials.

That depends on where in the world you might be, but here is a typical
plastic sheet product....
http://www.kingplastic.com/products/all-products/king-starboard-family/king-starboard/
I hope you have a large balance credit card.
I seem to recall a 4x8 sheet at around $400.

If you know a town near buy that has a Home Depot or Lowes
they sell several brands.
They also sell stuff on line. Wonder if you could order several
'boards' and have them delivered. Something to look into.
I bought a length for my weather station - out in the direct sun.

It is an old description of a region in the US. While it does not
necessarily reflect what you would assume not knowing the history of the
US it is similar to the region known as the Deep South, which is way
north of several areas in the US. Then there is the South West, which
is north west of half of Texas, The South which includes states that we
in Texas consider the North. ;~)

I don't know where you live, but I have used this material before. I was
able to purchase it at Lowes, but I have seen it at Home Depot.
One thing I used it for was to replace the sill on our patio doors. It
was easy to cut and shape. We lived there nearly 10 years and it was
as good as it was when I put it in.
Unless you have special requirements you make check your local Lowes or
Home Depot.

Find a manufacturer who makes what you want (Google for 'HDPE plastic
lumber') and once you locate one or two ask THEM who sells it within your
area. This is far easier than going from the other direction. Sales people
are usually eager to tell you where to buy their products and I've even
known them go arrange free samples if I acted nice - I've scored free
'Lyptus' lumber, loads of hardware, paint, finishes, glue, tools, and other
goodies after talking to sales critters.

I've used the PVC boards to replace facia and the PVC brickmold to trim
out replacement doors and windows. Works great and will never rot.
First go around you can fill your nail holes with silicone caulk or just
fill them and paint them. My window trim has been in place for ~ 10
years now and is a bit chalky to the touch. Next time we stain/paint
I'll paint the PVC.
Neat trick I learned last year when I replaced a couple of large
windows. This stuff is dense and if you use a CA "super glue" along
with the activator, you can have miter joints (assuming you measure
THREE times and cut once, that look like they were molded.
I used the 2P-10 stuff from FastCap (great product) but I suppose any
will work equally well. I did a test run cutting the 45 degree miter on
a 2' piece of scrap. Lined them up, pushed them together hand tight and
held my breath for about 20 seconds. The bond was cured at that point.
For giggle I tried to pull it apart. Forget it! I smacked one leg of
it against a concrete sidewalk. . . TWICE and then it broke but, like
any good Titebond glue joint, it didn't break at the joint. The PCV
shattered about 3" out from the joint.
I can't say enough good things about PVC trim boards.

Where is this "Midwest" you refer to?
Do you mean that north east corner of the US??
I tend to thing of Texas, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, etc as "MID", so
maybe Arizona, Utah, Idaho would be "Midwest" now.
