Does Home Depot or Lowe's carry glass sheets wide enough for a 29H to make baffles for a sump or is it best to go to a glass shop for that?

I think they do but they usually only have single strength glass. I would go to a glass shop. Their probably cheaper also.

I know HD had acrylic sheets, and you could cut them to size yourself...

When you say "cut them to size yourself", do you mean in the store or purchase and have them cut elsewhere?

HD does have acrylic but they will not cut it, same thing with glass. Lowes will cut glass, I don't know about acrylic. If you want acrylic, go to Regal Plastics. They have a scrap bin that has many different types and size pieces and you pay by the Lb.

Regal plastics would probably be your best bet^^^

Hey with rising gas prices these days, it might just take me a while to get there if I have to walk over.

Thanks Ace, I take measurements tonight when I get home from work and PM you.

If you looking for glass in San Antonio, go to Samuels. Very cheap and nice to work with. They will cut any size you want.
