Clear mesh for a tank top.

Anyone know where this can be found in Calgary or shipped via Canada? I built one using Kiens instruction page but the aluminium mesh I used looks horrid and warps all funny.

Any help would be greatly appriciated, looking for a piece about 33"X33".

A lot of people get theirs from Bulk Reef Supply. I have not seen it sold anywhere in Calgary.

Does home hardware carry the clear plastic stuff? That stuff looks much better than what I'm currently using but I would prefer clear if possible.

Thanks for the heads up gents!

I went to canadian tier but they are not bringing any chicken wire of that spacing (I think the smallest one they have this year is 1" squares). Maybe home depot or rona have it.

Stopped by Rona yesterday couldn't find anything but then again those stores are pretty massive.

Just rechecked and no Rona does not carry the plastic chicken line. BRS is also $20 in fees for a $9.99 piece. Would prefer local but I will go through them if I can't locate it otherwise.

As far as I know Home Hardware has only the grey stuff, but it's so fine I doubt clear would make any difference. The squares are just under 1/2" so it's worked great for me so far.

Also go to the garden centres they have fine mesh that can be both easy and a pain to work with

Any craft store. Its called wedding mesh I think. Its clear fine mesh.

I got some from Michaels in Red Deer
