Cheap Wire?

Hey, I just found a lovely 6ft x 4ft dog kennel, and I need some wire to modifiy it as well as for my runs. The local 'garden store' to me is focus, but all I can find there is this:

Surely that wont be strong enough against cats/foxes? I've never seen a fox in the area, but I don't want to push my luck.

I'd say that was much too thin. You'll need much thicker galvanised mesh, do they do differnet thicknesses? I havent had a chance to look yet :)
 
The best place to get wire mesh is on eBay. Look for 1inch x 1/2inch 19guage galvanised wire mesh which is the minimum you need to keep your buns secure.

Thank you for the exact sizes, makes my searching a whole lot easier :)

Ahh but alas' you have a car :lol: I'm stuck walking to focus.
 
Actually I remember focus having wire in like the one I just found on ebay.. It might be a fun time to go down and investigate. I want to buy some plants anyway :)
