Any Interest In Clear Mesh?

[Ron99]

I may have a source to get some bulk clear netting for tank screen tops. It would be similar to the quarter inch netting BRS sells. It would probably cost about 55 to 65 cents per square foot. Who might be interested? The more interest I have the closer to 50 cents I can get.

[Ron99]

Actually looks like it can get down to 35 to 40 cents per square foot. Who wants a screen top? :)

[ronau]

Me, I'll PM you.

[thanhjenn]

Will you ship to edmonton?

[Ron99]

Sure, I can ship anywhere. Shipping costs should be low as I can probably just fold it up into a small padded or rigid cardboard mailer.

[WarDog]

I'd be down for a 4 foot by 2 foot chunk.

[Ron99]

OK, looks like we are getting some interest so I will go ahead and order some. I'm not sure what the ETA is but I imagine no more than a couple weeks.

[mikellini]

I'm interested in a 36x36" piece. Or two, one for backup.

[hillegom]

I'll take a 4x2 piece Ron

[Nuggs]

I'd be interested in a 5 x 2 peice

[Ron99]

OK, everyone's interest so far is noted and I should be ordering the roll tomorrow. I will order extra for others who want in as well.

Some people have been asking about size. The roll is 10' wide so I can cut to whatever size you need.

[niQo]

I may want a piece too! I need to cover an area of 2 x 1 feet.

Thanks!

[albert_dao]

I need a bunch!

[Ron99]

Just a quick update. Have a big roll on the way. I should have it within a week or so and will follow up with everyone once it's here :)

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

If its strong enough to withstand raccoons and I can use it over my small koi pond, then I'll want to buy some too.

Anthony

[Nuggs]

Your fine with EMT I assume?

[Ron99]

Anthony

I'm not sure Anthony. It may be. You can check it out once I have it :)


Your fine with EMT I assume?

I think so. Will have to double check to make sure my bank supports them. They didn't before but I think they may now.

[Ron99]

Should be here tomorrow...

[Ron99]

It's here. It's really fine and transparent, like very clear fishing line.


I'll start PMing those who expressed interest later this evening with totals for the net and shipping.

[Nuggs]

I might take a second backup peice as well depending on what that would do to shipping.

[WarDog]

Looks awesome! Hopefully you are around this weekend so as I can pick up. :biggrin:

[Madreefer]

That stuff is great for tank tops. And way cheaper than the mesh back east:lol:

[Ron99]

Alright, did some calculations on my costs with shipping and taxes etc so we are loking at $0.50 a square foot. I'm in the South Surrey/White Rock area in BC so if you are local and want to pick up or arrange to meet somewhere mutually convenient then that's all you'll pay.

If you need it shipped the cost for postage and a mailer will be $3.10 for a smaller piece (2'x4' or something similar). if you need something a bit larger or several pieces I may need to put it in a larger mailer so you would be looking at $4.90 for shipping.

I'll PM those who have already made requests soon with your totals.

I can take payment in cash for local pick up. For non locals it's going to be Paypal primarily. My bank apparently won't start supporting interac email transfers until next month and I get charged $4.00 to receive one until then. So if you want to send money that way I'll have to get you to pay that $4.00 as I don't have any profits to absorb that.

[Ron99]

Looks awesome! Hopefully you are around this weekend so as I can pick up. :biggrin:

I should be around. PM me with the size you want and we can figure something out. :biggrin:

[niQo]

I may change my size to 2x2 :)

[WarDog]

Are you around today?

[hillegom]

Thanks for the mesh Ron.
Good stuff

[WarDog]

Thanks for bringing in the mesh, looks like it will do the trick!
Nice to meet you, awesome tank!

[niQo]

I hate to do this: I paid for my netting, about 3 weeks ago. He told me it was going to be shipped on Oct 11th, haven't heard from him since. Send two PMs this last week and no response…
I know it is only a small amount of money, but I'm still not happy about it.

I'm sure there is a good explanation for this as it seems others have gotten their netting.

[mikellini]

Took a while to send mine out too but I got it. I think he took a loss on shipping. I'm sure he'll get back to you

[niQo]

Okay, that's good to know.

I feel like a complete idiot… Guess what came in the mail today…

Thanks & sorry Ron!

Mesh looks great!

What is everyone using for frames with this?

[mikellini]

I bought a white aluminum window frame kit from Rona. Turned out quite nicely. You also need the roller tool...

+1. I have seen the kits at Rona, Home De Pot and my local Timbr-mart. White or black. Around $25 if I remember.

Yeah, there was black and white for sure, maybe other colours (brown/beige/grey) but I wasn't looking. Found a match for my white stand.

[Aquattro]

ok, thanks

[Knoxy]

I'd take 4x2

[andiok]

Ron u still doing this. i might need a 2x4 piece. thanks

[WarDog]

This thread is from September. I would PM Ron to see if he still has some available.

[Aquattro]

Ya, that was my first thought. PM'ed last night, hoping he does.

[WarDog]

It's really good stuff Brad, hoping you get some!

[apexifd]

Anything?

[Aquattro]

Anything?

Not yet!

[Werbo]

I pm'd Ron weeks ago for some mesh. No reply. I'm still looking....

[Aquattro]

Ok, I'll see what I can find and let you know.

[Werbo]

Please let me know. 4x2 required. If no luck I can try and find the emails for the guy in the States who mailed me some last year

[Madreefer]

I'm pretty sure there's some in PG:wink:

[Aquattro]

I'm pretty sure there's some in PG:wink:

Just hanging in the trees? :) Or you got a connection? lol

[Doug]

If you can find Ron and get some of his, its great mesh. I bought some for my tank.

[duncangweller]

I have some. How much do you need? Its the stuff from BRS

[Madreefer]

Just hanging in the trees? :) Or you got a connection? lol

There's a roll in my garage

[Aquattro]

There's a roll in my garage

Nice. So how would someone, say, in Victoria, get access to this roll? :)

[ColinD]

I could use a 3X2' piece if anyone has any.

Thanks
Colin

[WarDog]

Seems to still be a demand for this mesh. I wonder if the sponsors are taking notes?

[hillegom]

Ron still has some of that mesh. I will try to get a hold of him

[Madreefer]

How much you need Brad?

[Aquattro]

How much you need Brad?

Bill, enough for a 30x40 cover, plus whatever waste is likely. So 3' x 4' maybe?

[Madreefer]

Done. Pm me your address again. Shipping cost good enough for me.

[Aquattro]

Sent, thx

[TimT]

Something worth mentioning is that if you don't regularly rinse the salt creep off the mesh it tends to eat it. I think halides play a role in the deterioration as well. I suspect average life is a year or two.

I was thinking about that with the MH, they will heat it up pretty good :)

[TimT]

The weird thing is they don't usually get brittle under the halide, it seems to be around the edges, about an inch in from the frame.

[Aquattro]

I find when fish jump out, they tend to get brittle around the edges too. I guess replace as necessary :) Mesh, not fish lol

Good to know, thanks for the info Tim.

Learning is fun!

[Ron99]

Hey Guys. Sorry I was away from Canreef and things for a while. Been dealing with getting my divorce finally done (lots of prep and then 6 days in court :-/ Not fun) and a few other things.

I do still have a bunch of mesh so if anyone is still looking let me know.

[Ron99]

It all turned out ok but wasn't fun at the time.

Just heading out for the evening. I'll figure that out and PM you in the morning.

[andiok]

thx Ron

[Ron99]

Replied to all PMs etc. Also, just an update that my bank now supports Interac money transfers so that's a payment option too.

[ColinD]

PM replied to and transfer sent, Thanks Ron.

EMT, so easy

[Ron99]

Bump. I had to buy this in bulk and brought in almost 700 sq ft of the stuff :) Still have something like 300 sq ft left for any interested folks.

[fooman]

Hello I was wondering if I could get a piece 6x3? I live in Revelstoke and would appreciate if you could ship it to me.


Thanks

[Ron99]

PMed you fooman...

[cchomistek]

Anyone have any idea how to get ahold of Ron besides email as I sent him some money for some mesh but have not heard back from him.

[Seriak]

Anyone know where Ron got his mesh. I would be interested in bringing in a roll. I bought the Canadian tire stuff but the holes were still big enough to allow my small wrasse to jump through it twice. Second time he didn't make it. :(

[duncangweller]

I bought some from BRS. It ts pretty cheap and they send you enough to make a mesh cover for lake Ontario

[Seriak]

It's cheap but shipping puts it way over.

[Bblinks]

I need a 48x24 piece please.

[indreamx]

Ron do you still have some of this mesh?

[chef]

I'd b in for a pc, 36"x48". Wish that was my tank dimensions, but that's for my nano too.

[Ron99]

Hey Gang. Was away in Toronto and pretty busy working on an exciting aquarium project :) I have some mesh left. It's getting down there but there's probably 80 or 100 square feet left.

[cchomistek]

Hi Ron did you get my email money transfer and my email I sent you?

Let me know.

Thanks in advance
Craig

[Ron99]

Hi Craig. Yes, I did and your mesh is in the mail.

I'll get to PMs tonight some time tonight...

[indreamx]

Hi Ron i pmed u for it.

[indreamx]

i havent heard from you yet.

[Ron99]

Sorry guys, hella busy week. For those who paid yours is packed up and ready to take to the post office. I'm going through to see who's on the list and what I have left...

[Bblinks]

coming to the swap?

[Ron99]

Quick update. I'm sold out on the mesh now. If there is enough interest I may be able to bring in more but it may be a month or two before I can do that. And the cost will be higher with the lower CDN dollar :(

[daplatapus]

I have a roll of it too. 1/2" X 1/2" squares. If anyone's in a pinch, PM me. Vancouver Island is easier, shipping prices suck, lol.

[Ron99]

Just to let everyone know as I'm still getting PMs. I sold all of it some time ago. Have none left. Sorry.
