Who has the best price for hardware cloth?

[WildflowerFour]

I'm pricing out the material I need to build a coop. The hardware cloth is busting the budget!! I'm looking for advice on who has the best pricing on hardware cloth or less expensive, but equally safe alternatives. Thanks!

I'm with ya. We found a decent deal on Amazon but it's always pricey.

The last time I needed to compare, Wayfair had the best prices:

I went ahead and bought a roll each of 24" and 36", because I knew I'd be building multiple chicken houses before it was all over. Buying 15 foot rolls at Lowe's or wherever is really expensive.

I bought two 24 x 60 rolls for $7 each at my local feed store. I found that reasonable but I am also new and don't understand how much it really costs elsewhere. I guess I got lucky.

I am in need if 1/2 x 1/2 hardware cloth and yes it is a budget buster. I usually get it from Home Depot but it adds up.
I will be building a cattle panel hoop run shortly and plan I on ordering from wireclothman
They have 1/2 x 1/2 hardware cloth 60 inch by 100 feet for $164 which seems like a decent price because it should cover the entire hoop which will be 4 panels long
Thanks

Not sure where you live, but I always get my hardware cloth in large rolls (50 foot rolls) from Agri Supply. They have retail stores in NC, SC, GA and VA. You can also order online at AgriSupply.com. They are MUCH cheaper than Home Depot, Lowes, or anywhere else I've looked. Don't know about cost for shipping, but it's worth taking a look at. Good luck!

I have a feed store near me that has a bunch of it in a barral for prety cheap i dont know exactly how much.I know some pet stores might have it for hermit crab tanks but that might not be any different

I stopped at an agri supply in Canfield while visiting my brother and there prices were pretty high

According to Agri-Supply's website, they don't have a store in a town named Canfield. Could it have possibly been a Tractor Supply you visited? They ARE expensive on their hardware cloth. Just wondered...

I am sorry it was Agland, I will check agri-supply
Thanks
