Where to find the cheapest hardware cloth for new run?

[woodchopper]

I got my hardware cloth from wayfair last spring, the 48 x 600 / 3 rolls cost me 180$ and free shipping..I think I used a 10% coupon code to.

At one point, I know their prices went sky high, but it looks like they are back down to a reasonable cost at 66$ for the above size. I don't think you'll find it cheaper. and it is well worth it. I am 'snake' paranoid, and I also have a run that's 12 x 20+ covered 1/2 with the hardware cloth, went with ondura roofing on 1/2 as well.

I have no worries using the hardware cloth, my run/coop is like Fort Knox or should I say Fort Pox

Glad I saw this post !! We had alot of storm damage after Sandy went through our area and we were looking for a place with reasonable prices for the repair job.

I've heard 2x4 welded wire will keep out predators just as good as hardware cloth in strength and its alot cheaper I thinks. Just line it with some chicken wire at the bottom to keep their heads in and other hands out.

Right now Amazon has a really good deal for the 36 x 100 feet (you will probably need 2) @ $83.27 instead of $154.99 free shipping. I got mine from there and never found cheaper anywhere else.

Wow - that's a great Amazon deal, I didn't see that the other day when I looked. When I looked the other day, there was no free shipping, only from vendors, and one cheap wire place turned out to charge almost $200 in shipping alone.

I ordered yesterday from Wayfair, between their free shipping and then I ordered the clearance rolls, which I believe are returned rolls but inspected and supposedly fine, it cost the same as the amazon deal.

Either way, those are great alternatives to big box stores, and I hope people realize they can get it cheaper.

We signed up for a deal on Amazon called "Amazon Prime". Anything that is a "Prime" item, we get FREE 2-day shipping. Lots of perks come with it. You have to pay a fee, but I guarentee we have re-couped that and thensome with the free 2-day shipping. Especially during the holidays. Not all items are part of the Prime deal, but many are. Sometimes I've had to pay a dollar or two more for the item (to get it from a Prime seller as opposed to a regular seller), but when you figure $15+ for 2-day shipping, it's still a much better deal! Especially if I can save myself a drive into town and back again!

I also have "Amazon prime" (for a year) but I didn't have to pay because I get a lot of stuff for the kids and there is this deal when you buy baby/kids stuff, they give you an extension. I love it!

I am looking at hardware cloth on Amazon and wonder if one of these is the product you are talking about...I need it asap. Has anyone used these and did they hold up. I need to protect the bottom of my coop.
