Any Interest In Clear Mesh?
 
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 09-04-2014 12:21 AM

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

ronau 09-04-2014 12:37 AM

Me, I'll PM you.

thanhjenn 09-04-2014 01:43 AM

Will you ship to edmonton?

Ron99 09-04-2014 01:59 AM

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 09-04-2014 04:09 AM

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

Ron99 09-04-2014 05:17 AM

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 09-04-2014 06:05 AM

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

hillegom 09-04-2014 04:09 PM

I'll take a 4x2 piece Ron

Nuggs 09-05-2014 12:37 AM

I'd be interested in a 5 x 2 peice

Ron99 09-05-2014 01:55 AM

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 09-12-2014 02:27 AM

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

Thanks!

albert_dao 09-12-2014 02:43 AM

I need a bunch!

Ron99 09-14-2014 04:42 PM

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 09-14-2014 05:50 PM

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.

Nuggs 09-14-2014 07:53 PM

Your fine with EMT I assume?

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

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 09-16-2014 03:05 AM

Should be here tomorrow...

Ron99 09-18-2014 11:00 PM

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 09-18-2014 11:05 PM

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

WarDog 09-19-2014 01:03 AM

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

Madreefer 09-19-2014 01:08 AM

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

Ron99 09-19-2014 01:54 AM

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.

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

niQo 09-20-2014 07:44 PM

I may change my size to 2x2 :)

WarDog 09-20-2014 08:29 PM

Are you around today?

hillegom 09-21-2014 05:09 AM

Thanks for the mesh Ron.
Good stuff

WarDog 09-21-2014 07:53 PM

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

niQo 10-27-2014 05:06 PM

Did not receive
 
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 10-27-2014 05:10 PM

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 10-27-2014 10:49 PM

Okay, that's good to know.

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 12-12-2014 06:17 AM

ok, thanks
