Size 8 Mesh -- Suppliers

[Cacklewack]

I'm in the process of building a number of top bar hives and I am in need of at least 80 feet of size 8 mesh for the bottom of the hives. Any idea on a supplier of such mesh? I can't seem to find any in the Portland, OR area.

Thanks!

I buy mine at my local Ace Hardware store. If I don't see any on the shelf I talk to the manager and they'll buy some and have it at the store in about a week.

You can order it from Betterbee http://www.betterbee.com/products.asp?dept=522

Try your local smaller hardware stores. True Value's, Ace. ect...

Have you tried Ruhl?

Tried Ruhl today and John said they don't sell it, but he'll try and get us in touch with someone who does...

Ace Hardware item numbers (it pays to work at a hardware store some days....)

24" x 50' = 70793
30" x 50' = 76147
36" x 50' = 70794
36" x 100' = 76138

ordered mine from brushy mountain, our local ace hardware closed a few years ago, and I have not found it at tractor supply.

I paid 82.50 (plus tax) for a 100 foot roll x 36" wide at my local Ace hardware store. I like the fact that I didn't have to pay for freight charges like I would if I bought it over the internet or by phone.
