Possibly at Home depot, or other building supply, Azek is a name brand I used smooth on both sides, photos on post 21 on my build page.

Re: Cargo panel material

I was looking to use HDPE - 1'8" thick. I believe 1 sheet (4' x 8') can be cut down and will cover both sides - haven't measured to be sure though. Waterproof, available in white/black, etc.

Link to Menards product - here

Let us know which route you go...need to do this in the future as well.
