Type of wire?

[swinfield89]

You know when you buy a big roll of hardware cloth, how it comes wrapped in a lot of thin, flexible, rust-free wire? It's very strong but very thin, can be bent and manipulated by hand without tools. I want to buy just that wire for a coop project, but I'm having trouble finding anything like it for sale. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks in advance

I do, and have used that wrap wire for various other tasks.
It's probably galvanized but I'm not sure of the gauge.
Best bet would be to go to a hardware store and look at what they have,
take a piece of it with you to compare.

Just went and measured a piece of this.
It is 0.0225...so 23ga.

The micrometer came in handy today.
