    You can get plywood larger than that, just over half a sheet of 3050 by 1525 would do it;

    Have a word with the local firm below to see if they can get you a sheet of the right size;

    Sheets of plywood measuring 3mts x 1500mm are readily available at most timber merchants but the width is 20mm short of your requirements. Cant you knock 10mm off each side of the map ?

    sheets of ply larger than 2400x1200 are NOTreadily available ..you go to most builders merchants and they will say no ...yes they are available ..but at a cost much higher than you will want to pay ..and most will want to sell you more than one

    I don't think anyone does any bigger than this, but if you need to get extra, go to B&Q as they will cut to size for free
