Default LF: Clear Mesh Netting

Looking to put a mesh top with maybe 1/4" opening. Couldn't find anything similar at Rona, Home Depot, or CT.
My location is Surrey, BC not Calgary, AB btw.

Could always try black bridal tulle. Like it a lot more than when I had 1/4" clear mesh.

Hmm that's an alternative... How much light does it block though I wonder.

If you in Surrey pm me , depends how much you need I have some of the IM stuff and some 1/8 of the brs one (was planning to use it but I'm happy with what I got right now), some of the other stuff mention above can affect you par tho.

I did a DIY lately but instead of plastic mesh, I ended up using the fabric mesh that they made laundry bags out of.
You're in Calgary though.

Oh sorry, I think you misunderstood. I don't have any for sale and was just sharing my experiences with my DIY.

I was saying that you could probably go to Walmart and pick up a laundry bag and cut out the mesh.

The bag itself is probably like 5 bucks but if your lid footprint is fairly small, it should give you enough material to work with.

It seems kind of ghetto to be using a laundry bag but it seems to work well enough for me thus far
