I've searched high and low for a good price on hardware cloth. Habitat for humanity, Craigslist, local feed stores, eBay, lowes. Lowes was actually the lowest locally at 4x25 (100 sq ft) ft for $45.95 (1/2", 19 gauge), which, by my math was a little over .46 cents per sq ft. But it's LOWES, so I knew I could find it cheaper elsewhere.
So I knew that what killed you was shipping. Scouring Amazon.com, i found a roll of 36" x 100 ft for $84.71, about .27 cents sq.ft. Shipping was FREE, from CSN stores. Figured it wasn't gonna fly out of the store anytime soon, I'd wait and research a little more.
Meanwhile, I'm also installing laminate floors in my house, so I ended up buying from CSN stores $300 worth of underlayment.....get an email from them saying I've earned 3% credit for my purchase to use for my next purchase....$26 of free!
I mull it over, the lightbulb goes on and I realize that they're selling my roll of hardware cloth! So I apply my credit to the tab, and with FREE shipping, my roll of 36" x 1200" (100 ft), I pay $58.32 total, for 300 sq ft of hc! Hopefully that was a good purchase, because i havent seen it cheaper around here locally!!
Forgot to mention that it is still 19 gauge and 1/2"! Hope someone else may find the original price to be a good deal!!
Forgot to mention (also), if you want to find it at either CSN.com or Amazon.com (it ships from CSN), you can search for it with this number/code: Mat 0.5" Mesh Galvanized Hardware Cloth (308243B)
