MTB SS304 Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh 48 inches x 10 feet- 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch Mesh 18GA(1.2mm)

I love crabbing and build crab snares myself. Have been looking for 0.5X0.5 inch 16 gauge mesh for the past year. There are 2-3 sellers on Amazon selling it (vinyl coated ones). But they are FXXX expensive, I am not paying $170 for the snare mesh. Until I found this replacement. It come so quick, next day delivery. Problem is, it is 18 gauge (1.2mm in diameter), I am looking for 16 gauge (1.6 mm diameter). But stainless steel is harder than galvanized steel itself, which makes up a little bit. The damn rock carbs are so strong they damage my snare cage in a couple uses. I was using 16 gauge mesh from Lowe's, which only cost $18 per roll. But they only carry 0.5X1 inch ones. The 0.5X0.5 inch opening is critical because it will increase my carb catching rate a lot(their claw get stuck in the small hole when I pull), and also prevent them from pulling my bait out too easily. So excited now, can't wait to build a few snares and go!

Found out the horrific way that a raccoon paw can fit through regular chicken wire. MY 32 year old box turtle paid the price. The others are now protected better with this wire in the covers on their outdoor enclosures. It is a little stiff and hard to flatten out but still manageable to work with. Will be buying more.

I built a new bird house for our parakeets. Most of the mesh screen material available at local hardware stores is zinc coated. Birds like to chew and bite on the screen material, and zinc is toxic to them, so the best solution is to us stainless steel. This stainless mesh is 1/2” squares and works perfectly for this application. If your into bird houses, I highly recommend this product.

The product looks good . Haven’t had a chance to use any of it yet t only arrived in yesterday’s imail

We purchased this product from this seller before to make a parrot-safe bird cage, and had no qualms the first time. We purchased again* ~1 year later, and there has been a drastic decline in quality. This is advertised as bird-safe, and it is NOT.Every other joint seems to have a nasty barb and/or excess solder attached that we can’t simply sand off - we’ve tried wire brushes, files, torches, sanding sponges, etc. to reduce the amount, but it has hardly made a difference. We’re looking at hundreds of hours of picking to get them off of the cage - they are sharp enough to tear our skin (as seen in a photo) so they’ll be too sharp for birds. We will likely need to spent another several hundred dollars to replace the wire and hopefully salvage the rest of the materials and start from scratch. If you are trying to build a bird-safe aviary, I do NOT recommend this product.*initially purchased from another account

Very heavy gauge wire hardware cloth. Well formed welds and none found bad after using half the roll even though made in China. Purchased two more rolls to complete the garden enclosure project currently in progress. Will outlive me and piss off the chipmunks and squirrels that ravage my tomato crop each year. Well worth the extra cost compared to galvanized.

Used this to make a cage for our Jardine's Parrot. Works perfectly. A bit difficult to cut, but if it were easy to cut, our bird's built-in wire cutters (aka her beak) would be able to break it. She's got no hope of biting through this, but I can't say whether I'd trust it for containing a large parrot like a macaw (might work fine, I just don't have any experience with them).One roll is just about enough for a 3'x4'x5' cage, if you're careful, and, even once you add in some lumber and stainless steel screws/latches/etc, is far cheaper than a comparably-sized quality premade cage.I use the scraps to guard my miniature cactus collection from our cats. Also working perfectly for that so far.

I ran out of a previously purchased galvanized mesh and bought this one to continue the installation. Color wise no big deal. Quality wise it is definitely better than galvanized material. I put it up on metal fence railings and tied them in to the posts and railings with wires.Not too easy to manipulate but eventually you will make it work. Put on thick gloves please. I use long sleeve leather gloves and it made the process much easier. Tie the beginning, top and bottom to the post first and roll them out.
