It's not the Layout that needs to be Custom. Just draw a rectangle 36" X 72" rectangle. It's the Page Setup that has to be done correctly. The first thing to do is find out if your plotter can handle that size plot. You may have to create a custom paper size in the plotter.

Name it what ever you would like

Choose your printer and click properties (note not all printers support creating custom page sizes). I personally print to PDF first as I have found that having it in that format allowed for more options when dealing with a myriad of plotter issues. Also if all else fails you can send a PDF to Kinkos (or what ever the print shops are called these days)

Click Custom Paper size and then Add

Follow the prompts for the printer. I used Start from scratch

Set the media bounds (this will depend on your plotter)

Then click Finish

It will likely let you know you make shages. Save as needed

It should now show up in your list

Now to get it into a layout, type in page setup again and select the page setup and click set current

The procedure for setting up to plot to an inhouse plotter is very similar to the steps posted by @TheCADnoob 

I hadn't considered going to a print shop since this would be something we would do ourselves. Thanks @TheCADnoob
