Where to get fencing for run

[Kathleen Spielman]

Hi Everyone!

I'm struggling to find 5'-6' high hardware cloth fencing to build my run. I live in Boulder, CO and have been told to use this instead of chicken wire. Could anyone point me in the direction to find this type of fencing this high?

Thanks!
Kathleen

I am using Tractor Suppy 6 ft fencing wire and bent them into tunnels. Then I use stakes to secure them into the ground. Zipties or hog rings to connect them.

You'll not find it easily, maybe a mesh fabricator.
Biggest I've seen HC is 48", plan your framing accordingly for good attachments.

Hardware cloth seems to mainly come in 2', 3', 4' widths, so you'll need to overlap to get the height you want.

There is a manufacturer with a location in Denver named McNichols. I haven't spoken with them, but they may be able to at least give you some info. I stumbled across their website the other day. www.mcnichols.com
