i paid a tenner for some quality mesh from midlands performance centre in walsall!, about a metre long!

but i prefer the metle sheeting with the holes in it, it looks more modern, and different!

B&Q - theres usually a section where you can get fancy mesh, metals and rods. Its usually the stuff used for designing radiator covers - You can actually pick up sheets of that aluminium flooring with the crossed tread design in it!

prices vary - I got a decent piece for ?11. you need to spray it though it it rusts

I have got really fine stainless mesh rather than the big stuff that builders use cos flies and moths can fit through the gaps

I got a stip from work for nothing!

?20 a good price! Are you mad?? You only need about 6" by 30" to do a grille!

Stainless stuff is nice and shiney and wont rust!

I paid ?36 for a 60cm by 100cm piece of alloy with holes drilled into it. Bought four of 'em.
