I am wanting a large Walk In Run with roof and am researching the cost of the Wire Mesh.  I have come across this supplier who now does free delivery
www.4wire.co.uk/wire-mesh-galvanised-c-2.html but never bought any before so need advice. 

Part of the WIR is for hens, another section for quail and possibly another for ducks.  Not sure if I should get different hole sizes for the sections or go for 1/2" x 1/2" all over so the quail cannot stick their heads out.  Still in the planning stage at the moment so not sure of the sizes as cannot decide on which of 2 possible areas to site the WIR.

Anyone with advice on quality mesh at reasonable prices will be greatly appreciated or any other advice on the pitfalls I will come across.  Want to avoid as many as possible!

I haven't used this particular company but quite a few people recommended it on this site.

I used hills of devon, no complaints.
Its likely to be cheaper to just use one size

   Thanks for the advice.

So confusing though as some sites put the wire gauge down i.e 19G and others put the diameter i.e. 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm, 1 mm from what I have researched 19G is about 0.9 mm and 18G is about 1 mm.  This makes comparisons more difficult.

Hills of Devon are out of stock on the 36" x 30 m in 1/2" x 1/2" and 1" x 1/2" avairy mesh (1 mm) and their alternative 13 mm x 13 mm is only 0.7 mm wire which sounds too thin.

More research needed.

SWG sizes =
SWG 8 =4.09mm
SWG 9 = 3.64mm
SWG 10 = 3.25mm
SWG 11 = 2.93mm
SWG 12 = 2.641mm
SWG 13 = 2.324mm
SWG 14 = 2.043mm
SWG 15 = 1.82mm
SWG 16 = 1.626mm
SWG 17 = 1.43mm
SWG 18 = 1.214
SWG 19 = 1.021mm
SWG 20 = 0.910

if you need any more sizes just ask me, or if you want them in imperial again just ask

Try http://www.meshdirect.co.uk I have used them twice and have been very satisfied with their service.

Thanks for that, the one I looked at must have been AWG.  So it depends on what the supplier classes 19 G as SWG or AWG.

I think mine is .9mm
Given the effort I put in to cut it, any fox that can chew through it deserves a chicken supper.

Thanks for the information.  Have looked on this one but it seems really expensive on like for like with
www.4wire.co.uk/wire-mesh-13x13mm-holes-inch36high-30meters-p-216.html
plus there is not delivery charge unlike meshdirect who only deliver free on orders over £60.
