Oh, I will check it with them.

BTW ShadyHillFarm, I really like that barn in your avatar.

Thank you! It's one of the nicer structures on this old farm. It's almost too low inside to be functional, but it's helped a wayward calf or two and it's definitely pretty to look at.

Sure is pretty. Reminds me of the area I live in.

Just checked Lowe's Low Price Guarantee.

"We guarantee our everyday competitive prices. If you find a lower everyday price on an identical item at a local retail competitor, just bring us the competitor's current ad, and we'll beat their price by 10%."

I'm sure the operative phase would be "local retail competitor". I'll bet they would disqualify purchase directly from a manufacturer.

Ok I have an update on this company, it's not as good as it sounds... Wire Cloth Man does have a warehouse in Florida AND you can pick up from them directly in Largo (near Tampa)... BUT- you can only buy the $102.00 (1/2" x 4' x 100') roll IF you buy it online and pay for shipping. If you want to pick it up or if you want any other size (for example they do carry a 6' wide roll of 1/2") the minimum order must be $175.00. So basically you are going to pay about $170.00 shipped or picked up, regardless. They will not sell you the 100' roll directly because those pre-packaged rolls we see online come from a shipping warehouse which is not located in Florida so they still have to ship it. All pick-up orders in Florida are minimum of $175.00 period according to the representative I just spoke to on the phone. It's possible that if you are in NJ or where ever that warehouse that holds the pre-packaged 100' rolls is you might be able to get just the single roll at $102 as listed online because they don't have to ship it to your local warehouse, I only asked about Florida. For here, it is still cheaper to buy your hardware cloth elsewhere. Darn.

I just bought a 3' x 50 ft roll at Agri supply for $38.00, I picked it up at the store, don't know if there is one near you, but that was by far the best price I could find without having it delivered.
19g 1/2 x 1/2. Just so it is apples to apples.

That's too bad. I don't know if the warehouse in NJ is also the manufacturing plant or not, but that should not pose a problem for me since I plan to purchase over $200 of hardware cloth for my run area.

I found the best price for 48" at www.wayfair.com.

Just for clarification, Tarac, do you mean your entire purchase needs to total $175 or each product you order needs to total $175?

I am going to call them tomorrow. What I want will run $200+, but it is 4 different products:

 

[Tarac]

They said total $175 so I think you would be OK. For special sizes (they have 72" wide, for example) he made it sound like it would have to be $175 worth minimum before they would cut it/let you pick it up.

I just got off the phone with the Wire Cloth Manufacturer. I ordered and it will be ready for pick up tomorrow.

1 roll - 1x2 14 gauge welded wire 24" x 100' = $66.00 (for perimeter)
1 roll - 1x2 14 gauge welded wire 40" x 100' = $128.00 (for bottom part of fence)
2 rolls - 2x3 16 gauge welded wire 36" x 50' = $29.90 (for top part of fence)
2 rolls - 2x3 16 gauge welded wire 48" x 50' = $39.90 (for "roof" over run)

Final total $263.80. It would have been another $131 for shipping if I wasn't picking it up.
