1/4 " 23 guage hardware cloth strong enough? :(:(

Hi Hattiegun,

Sorry to hear about the order.

I just got an email back with a quote for mine.


Their "old" website had a much higher price. ($311)

They said the price for a 19 gauge 1/2" x 1/2" black pvc coated welded wire is about $159.04 + $74.16 shipping.

I'm going to call them tomorrow to try and order it at lunch time.


Also, here is the new site they directed me to:

I just got 1/4 X 1/4 (19 ga.) hardware cloth (3' tall) that we ran around the bottom 3' of the dog kennel that the ducks & chickens live in. My first calls were murdered (yes, ugh) by raccoons that grabbed them through the dog kennel fence at night. We ty-wrapped the screen onto the kennel and it's pretty firm and strong.

There is absolutely nothing that is going to grab or slip through the hardware cloth/kennel now. Perhaps a mink/weasel could climb up past the hardware cloth but I don't think any of those live around me. Mostly coons and possums.

The 1/2 inch would probably be good also. After the coon incident, I'm paranoid, so the smaller and stronger, the better. I've been making the ducks go to bed at night and I shut them in so we all sleep easier.

Hi, Can you please let me know where you found the 1/4" (19 ga.) hardware cloth. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks so much!

Oh, I just noticed that you want 23 gauge. Idk about that. You could probably use 19 ga.

I'm looking for 1/4 inch 19 guage. I am told by someone who manufactures it that it isn't made. Only in 1/2 inch

Snakes will get through the 1x1 and 1x2. I know from experience. I have read here 1/2” is the best and strongest. I’m like you I’m not good at standing up for myself either. I understand small town hardware lumber guys. Hopefully they don’t screw you over. Good luck. Make sure to post pictures of your run when you are done

USA, where are you?

I asked that because if you were in another country you might not have the ability to get it on amazon. My location is below my avatar.
