Welded Wire for run and windows/ventilation

[AllAboutChicks]

Okay.. so what i wanted..3 feet wide, 19 or 16 gauge, 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch grid, black coated welded wire for the chicken run, ventilation coverings, windows, etc.
The problem?
I can't find any anywhere. Home depot and Lowe's appear to be out of stock online for similar black coated welded wire
For those of you using black coated welded wire, where did you purchase?
I'm willing to pay for the extra 4' wide rolls (just wanted to avoid waste.
Or should I settle for 1"x1" grids?

Get the galvanized and paint it. Few on BYC have done that. Me, I'd get galvanized and be done with it.

I used the 1/2 x1/2 hardware cloth no problems.

I was thinking it might come to that. Thanks for the reply.

Don't "settle" for 1" by 1". Holes are too big to keep things like mice and small snakes out.

And it usually costs more too.
