Good place to buy lauhala matting (pref 5X8 panel)? - Tiki Carving

I'll post a jpg of our tiki lair (and adjacent "Spy Lounge") when they are complete. Which brings me to this question: My wife and I want a panel of lauhala to go behind our tiki bar, and it turns out that the ideal size is 5' X 8'. I can find 4'X 8' panels, but does anyone know where I can get a 5X8 panel? I found one such item online at a place called Cost Less Imports, but they didn't return our phone calls, and thus I am growing increasingly less enthusiatic about that potential source. Any advice is much appreciated! Dolchas
