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.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

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.

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.

That is why I bought a 100' roll from Brushy Mountain last December when they had free shipping :-D

If your only using it to close off ventilation holes than why go through all the trouble for #8,  just use metal window screen.
