Where do you shop for hardware cloth? My small town has a Sutherlands lumber, but that is about it. The cost is outrageous for the hardware cloth. Is it everywhere?
I did alot of shopping. Internet is cheapest but shipping costs take them out of the running. The best deal I found was at an Ace Hardware store. http://www.acehardware.com/product/...&cp=2568451.2624969.1302712&parentPage=family They had to special order it for me but in this way I avoided the cost of shipping.
Do you have Menards near by?? They were the cheapest I found. $30 for a roll of 4' x 50'... definitely try a junkyard or craigslist first!
Remember...you pay for what you get. There is alot of Hardware Cloth on the market that a low cost and is not any better than chicken wire or poultry netting.
Do you have a Tractor Supply Store anywhere nearby? Where do you get your feed? They probably have hardware cloth there. Or is that the Sutherlands?
