I want to build Alyson a magnetic wall for her new playroom. She just loves magnetic pictures, letters and other stuff on the refrigerator, so I thought a 4 x 8 sheet of steel would be great.
I can order that through work, but the question is, how thick does it need to be. 24 gauge, 22 gauge, 14 gauge????? The thinner the better as far as cost goes, but at some point the thickness would interfere with the magnetic stuff she puts up there. I am also hoping to get one side painted so that it looks a little better and does not rust.
