M-D Building Products 56032 12 in. x 12 in. x .018 in. Galvanized Steel Sheet

Exactly what I was looking for! Our local Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t sell steel sheets 3’ x 3’ only aluminum. I needed steel so it was magnetic.We recently had a kid and we have a gas fireplace without a glass cover. Because it’s a gas fireplace, I didn’t want to try and take out the rocks and logs and gas lines. If it was a wood fireplace I would’ve just cleaned it out and used it to store toys or something.So I bought this metal sheet along with some magnets to cover the fireplace opening. I did end up buying some 28” x 2” thicker steel bars to help prevent it from sagging. I then covered this metal sheet in black fabric and glued it on. After everything dried overnight I used the magnets to hold this in place. The surrounding of the fireplace on the top and bottom is metal. Hence the bars as I couldn’t use any magnets on the sides.Now we have a cover that matches the rest of our fireplace and since it’s steel we can use magnetic letters and toys etc...down the road for our kid to play with. If we ever want to use the fireplace it’s also as simple as using something like a paint can opener to pry it off.Before this our kid kept crawling over and playing with the metal screen and almost ate a rock. Since this has been on he has not once even touched it so it’s done exactly as I wanted!Added a photo of the sheet covering the fireplace before covering the metal with black fabric.

At 12x12, I can cut one side down to 8 1/2in and it fits neatly into a 4L or 9L 'really useful box' plastic storage bins. I use hot glue gun to stick the big panel to the bottom, and I still glue the smaller panel to the side so if I have any models that are long I just mount them to the side panel so they're sideways.Strong magnets stick very well to the metal plate. And it cuts quite well with my tin snips.While it's cheaper to order these through amazon, I would have thought that if I ordered 6 that all 6 would come in one flat pack or one box. But nope, the ship the sheets two at a time in a gi-normous oversized cardboard box. So for 6, I also got three oversized cardboard boxes. (and even then, one bent corner).I'm feeling the carbon-guilt on that one (three big shipping boxes for 6 panels) so I may try to buy these local in the future.

Wanted to give this 4.5 stars because a couple of the corners were bent on a few of the 6 1 x 1 squares I ordered, but it was simple enough to do a minor tap or two with a hammer and flatten them back out so no major harm done and only a slight bit of imperfection which is barely noticeable. These were perfect for the DIY project I used them for, they do a fine job holding up magnetized spice jars on the wall above the sink. They grip magnets very strongly. They are also nice looking pieces of metal, I could see them being useful in other ways as well, and I would purchase again from this seller if I ever decide to go through with those other ideas. They are packaged well too, I don't think my experience of bent corners is something you'd see often with packaging like this.

Works perfectly.

I tried hand sanitizer, Windex, dish soap, hot water, and then finally- a little bit of olive oil. So if you don't have goof off or adhesive remover- the olive oil works to remove the sticker completely. Just be gentle with it. I lightly scraped with my thumb nail and it didn't damage the sheet at all. Rinse with hot water and soap and wipe with a cloth to get the oil off.Happy with the sheets I bought and can't wait to turn them into my cooktop backsplash!! They are very light weight and perfect.

Used this as a magnet board. I attached to the side of my cabinet with 2-sided sticky tabs and it works great. Strong enough to hold magnets, unlike magnet sheets. Way cheaper than any magnet board I found, and nice industrial look. There were some tiny scratches, and one corner was a little bent but works great for what I needed and cant notice the flaws. Overall happy and will be ordering more for my kids. Be careful-it is thin and corners could be sharp. An adult should place on wall. (can not get pictures to rotate so they are sideways!)

I recently just bought a stainless steel fridge and found out that I can't put magnets on them anymore, which was quite a disappointment. The magnets work on the side of the fridge, but I have a wooden frame around the fridge so that wasn't possible for me. The solution was to put up some steel sheets and this product was the perfect solution! The size and weight was perfect. The sheets came in almost perfect. One of the corner was dinged up, but I just used pliers to straighten it out. I used something called Liquid Nails to glue this to the frame. No need to have these nailed or screwed in. Magnets work great on these also.

So I havent put it up yet on the wall but I have tested a few magnets on it and the hold seems pretty good but there was no weight to the magnets either. Im going to use it for some of my makeup to get it off the counter or my makeup bag. However, one of the corners was curved. It almost seemed like it was curved with some needle nose pliers. But other than that it seems pretty good. When I get it put up on the wall Ill update my review (if I remember).Update:Hung it with velcro command strips
