Default Where can you get the clear 1/4" mesh for aquarium top?

So I have been watching Bulk Reef Supply for a while and every time I think about ordering some of the netting I get reminded that I will pay more for shipping then the netting itself. So I figured Id wait till I needed some GFO or something and order it then. Well now there sold out. Anyone found this stuff anywhere else? Thanks.

It's originally meant for keeping birds out of gardens so check with garden supply stores maybe...

I have found it at Rona and Home Depot called bird netting in the garden centre.

Not at all! If I can do it...anyone can!
Just used screen door "kit"...cut the aluminum pieces to size, piece together with the corner inserts, use the ribbing to make the netting tight in the screen door and it's done! Fantastic cover, light passes right through, and it keeps "most" fish in!
