Any idea if we have the bird netting at HD?

bought pretty much the same (was green) for my peas at HD

I have a question regarding the garden netting. If a fish is a jumper, might he not get hooked on the garden netting?

Guess would depend on the size of the fish if the stuff turns into a gill-net. Never used the garden netting on a tank but was about 1/2x1/2" similiar to eggcrateing

I'll check out HD and Rona on the weekend. I was at totem but they didn't have anything. I'll post if I find somethng.

Thanks for the link Mark.

Any luck finding the mesh?

I found some black plastic 'garden mesh' but I don't know if it could take the heat. I also found some galvanized metal mesh. Both are 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. I haven't bought anything yet.

Hmm, this gives me an idea, for those with some patience & lots of time on their hands. Remember the old chairs with 'caned' seating surfaces? How about a wooden frame with holes drilled all along it, then use monofilament fishing line to weave your own mesh?? It's about as clear as any other material you're going to get. Just not sure about the heat issue though.. Maybe one could use 'catgut', the stuff used to string tennis rackets...
