There is an Ace nearby and I will check tomorrow morning. I did try a search on the Ace Hardware website and they only listed 1/2" & 1/4" under hardware cloth. There is also a True Value nearby & will try that. jt

You might have to call; sometimes they can and will recommend a store somewhere else that has it. I needed screening in a pretty large sheet and I had to drive 45 min. to get it.

They had 50' rolls of something marked 27 ga that looked small enough mesh for I think $69. True Value, Menards and Tractor Supply Co had only 1/2" and 1/4" mesh. Doesn't look good & thanks for trying. jt
