orchard suply hardware--ace hard ware-RDY-B
once again thankyou rdy, glad there is another person from cali that is a night owl.
Your best bet is to try and hit some Mom & Pop hardware stores. I'm sure the big chains can order you some, but if your like me I want it yesterday :-D. I have found a small hardware store in NE Georgia that keeps it in stock and will gladly cut you off however much that you need.
Yes, a Mom & Pop store that is in a area were they have a market for # 8 and can/will cut a roll is the best bet, just find one of those now a days !
I keep seeing on these boards;
References that Ace Hardware Co. has # 8 hardware cloth in less than 100 ft. rolls.
Would someone please state " Address " of these Ace Hardware stores that sell less than 100 ft. rolls.
True, their online CATALOG shows 10 ft. rolls, however, calling their main office, they say " Sorry, Misprint, its only available in 100 ft. rolls "
My experience, course I've been wrong before.

The Ace in Deland, FL has it and will cut it to length but it's pricey...$5/ft @ 36" wide. The same Ace will sell 100' rolls to me for $99.

I have a local store in Raleigh, NC that sells it fairly cheap (I thought). 25' roll for $19 (I think). They also sell by the foot, but at the 25' roll price I couldn't pass it up.
Brushy Mountain also sells it, and ships it.

How do you get a Price off that Page :?

Several years ago Betterbee used to handle it, then they stopped.
I was hopeing they had some in stock again.
I believe the price then was $19.99 for 10ft, but the shipping to Missouri was almost as high as the wire.

Yea I am finding it online but the shipping cost is the price of the wire usually.

Shipping is reasonable if you get 30 ft.
Yeppers, I just grab a phone book and start calling hardware stores till someone says "yeah we got that" the KISS method

That is why I bought a 100' roll from Brushy Mountain last December when they had free shipping :-D
i would do that if i used screened bottoms, but i use solid bottoms snd only use the no 8 to close ventilation holes in my nucs.

If your only using it to close off ventilation holes than why go through all the trouble for #8, just use metal window screen.
i don't think many people use screened bottom boards in northern california do you use then rdy-b?
lots of people use them-I am palletized so i dont -but theres no reason you cant-RDY-B
ask your local friends, I think everyone has a story about some hole in the wall hardware place that has _______ whenever they couldn't find it at the home despot, builder's scare, or that other one. (the mom and pop theme is on the money)
I order mine from Ace hardware order on Monday and it is here by wed
check this guy out--
seams very resonable-RDY-B

Country hardware stores. It's old stock, I don't think they can get any more. Call ahead next time your headed out to the boonies (or maybe you're already in the boonies). I found a 100' roll for about $25.
Dumb question (since I'm brand new at this and ran into the same problem today...). can you double up on 1/4" screen?
I have ordered some from Mcmaster Carr and the price wasn't too bad. Then I found it locally at a small hardware store. The wire diameter isn't as thick but it works well for SBB, and no shipping charges.
