MTB SS304 Welded Wire Mesh 1/2x1/2 inch 36"x25' 18ga

I purchased this product which was significantly more expensive than other hardware fabric material because it stated stainless steel and no galvanization which contains lead which can potentially leach out into the soil and get into the vegetables and into myself and my family. Not until I unpacked the material I saw the small print. Should have listened to Joan Baez and taken the birds and bees, please.

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.

Used to bird-proof a gas grill with several openings in the back and below. Once the birds found this home, they were unrelenting nest builders inside the grill. Sheet stainless would have been expensive and hard to cut, form, and drill in this application. I was able to cut this mesh with tin snips and diagonal pliers and formed by hand over a 2x4 (wearing leather gloves). The welded wire intersections generally took considerable abuse without failing. I'm sure I'll find other projects for what's left over.

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!

Needed stainless steel for my bird cage project .....hes happy and I'm happy

Good price and perfect product for building bird cage No Zinc!

I bought this to put up a divider in my parrot cage. I read that chicken wire is mostly made of galvanized metal which is toxic to birds so I picked this one up instead. My birds chop at it but it does not chip off or anything. It is very sturdy and does not get any rust. Only thing is that it is very hard to cut.

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.
