Any suggestions on where to get 48" wide hardware cloth cheap?

[Brian Elfert]

I need to get 200 feet of 48" wide hardware cloth with 1/2" holes. Any suggestions on the least expensive place to get such? I really want 50 foot rolls as 25 feet has extra waste and 100 foot is too heavy.

csnstores.com sells it for $58 including shipping for a 50 foot roll, but they are out until June and I need it before Memorial day. The only 48"" wide in stock locally is 25 foot rolls at Menards and they want $53 a roll almost twice as much as csnstores.com.

Have you tried a farm supply store?

Ace Hardware can order it. My 50' of 1/4 square roll will be in tomorrow. It isn't cheap ($60) but when I found it cheaper on the internet shipping was out of sight! I tried every farm supply store and the only rolls they could order were 100' and $180. Ace had the best deal I could find.

Ace Hardware's web site says the 48" wide x 50 ft roll is $109.99. Shipping is free if sent to the store. After spending a couple hours doing web searches last night I found a place that has the stuff for $65 for a 50 foot roll shipped. That is only $7 more than the place I was going to order from. I found a bunch of places that had the stuff for around $50 a roll, but some wanted as much as $90 to ship!

I don't know of any place that is really a farm supply store around here except maybe Mill's Fleet Farm. Fleet Farm shows 36" at a good price on their website, but no 48". I'll have to stop by there.

I ordered it at the store. Their website leaves a lot to be desired.

Don't know about cheap but Tractor Supply and Menard's carry it. Orchard Supply may have some in stock as well.

Glad I am in the west, it is cheaper hear and I think there were three places that had 150' rolls for less than $70.

I am going to have to look next time we go to town just to make sure, but we bought a bunch a few weeks ago and also chicken wire to house our new chickens.

$70 for 150 feet of 48" wide hardware cloth would be an incredible price! I can't get a 50 foot roll for that price locally.

Thanks for everyone who offered suggestions.
