I have found this material at larger ACE hardware stores. The ones that do window screening on property usually carry it, by the foot.

wormdirt you make me happy that I moved back to the country. I buy the same piece of 1/8" screen at the local (little guy) hardware store for 11 dollars.

I checked all the local hardware and building supply stores a few years ago and none of them carried 1/8" hardware cloth. So I was surprised to find some at Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) a couple of months ago. They had a 3' wide roll and sold it by the foot. I bought 6' and that should last me for a long time.

My local Ace Hardware has it by the foot, only 36" width available. It costs $5.99/ft -- pricey, but not bad if you only need a couple feet.

I had a local independently-owned hardware store check on it for me. They could only order 100ft rolls of 36" wide 1/8" mesh, and they cost $179/roll.

I also tried Home Depot, Lowe's, and Aubuchon's without success.
