Is this a good deal on Hardware Cloth

[JoieD]

I need a price point to look for as I don't have a clue as to how much this stuff should cost. The shipping amount says 4.50.

In case I can't post links yet. It is on Amazon for 169.00 HARDWARE CLOTH GA1/2 19G 48X100 - 48 In X 100 Ft

Also the 1/2 references the opening of the mesh, right? Joie

My local fence store is $185 for 150 feet of 48" tall hardware cloth. Not a great deal, but gives you an idea...

What about this? I need 48" 100 feet. http://www.csnstores.com/show_detail.php?sku=BFJ1001&piid[]=4974090

What does "this quality fencing product is a galvanized after product" mean?

I would be buying two.

Galvanized after weld is a better product than galvanized before weld. Galvanizing is the process of coating wire with zinc to protect it from rusting. If the wire is galvanized before it's welded, the welding process burns off some of the zinc coating, making it more prone to rust at those points. And since those weld points are the connections between the horizontal and vertical wires. that's exactly the place where you least want your wire to rust through.

I bought some GAW wire from Amazon to finish the apron on my run and was pretty displeased with the quality of the wire. Some of the welds popped apart as I was installing the apron!

I buy all of my wire from W.A. Davidson in Florida, and have been pretty satisfied with the quality. I get the vinyl coated stuff.

Did see my hardware cloth For Sale https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7312535#p7312535you I bought on-line from The Wire Cloth Man. Even with shipping being high, this was the beat deal I could find.

I was able to get 50' of 1/2" X 36"from Ace Hardware for $50.29 plus tax.

I went with the 48" 1/2 x 1/2 50ft for 70.00 from csnstores.com. I bought 2 rolls. Free shipping and I don't think they charged me tax.

That sounds like a good price.​
