Subject: Re: [MickaCoo] Aviary Wire Advice needed
What I use and I think what you may be referring to Mary, is "1/2 inch
hardware cloth". I think it works really well. It's really sturdy, I also
use it in my vegetable beds to keep gophers out. I even built a "balcony"
for my birds so they can sunbathe, out of it. It's stapled to the frame of
the aviary.
I buy it from Home Depot. You can get it in 25 or 50 foot rolls, either 3 or
4 feet wide. It costs around a dollar per foot. You will also need a cutter
(looks like very sturdy scissors), and work gloves otherwise it will scrape
up your hands as you work with it. If you go the stapling route, you will
also need a staple gun and staples.

Hi Cheryl - I am not actually sure what my wire is called, but it's a
galvanized fairly heavy gauge type; it came with the aviary that was donated
- Elizabeth, do you know?
I used 10' cyclone fencing panels, and then zip-typed the wire to the
fencing panels and did this for the long sides; I ran out of the wire for
the top, so zip tied chicken wire with the smallest openings I could find.
I don't like the chicken wire, so when I get the chance, I'm going to find
the other type wire and replace the top.
Hope that makes sense! I will try to send pics next week so you can see it
