Bottom board screen size
« on: March 24, 2017, 07:49:13 am »
I'm just finishing up my screened bottom boards and the only mesh I can find at my Home Depot is 1/4", will this suffice or do I need to find something smaller?


Thanks Randall

You need 1/8" or #8 hardware cloth.
1/4" is too big.

Big box stores don't carry it. You'll need to find a local lumber company.

I got a roll of it at Castle Building supplies in Blockhouse.
