Aluminium Mesh

[Jez]

I found this in Halfords earlier today.

It may be a cheaper alternative to some model shops. It is in the body repair section and only costs £1.49 for an A4 sheet.

Agent Jez, signing off.

yes good stuff mate, i've use it on my silage trailers.

[JC]

I use it for foot plates etc, makes good gridding.

good stuff that is, been using it for a while on the silage trailers i do, along with other bits and bobs

[Deerepower]

can you stretch it so you get smaller holes? the sheet I use is from a model shop and costs ?2.49 a sheet but you can stretch it for smaller holes.

[Tractorman810]

you can but really need to pull it all over at the same time, as its very fine wire, it tends to distort other wise i have found

thanks tractorman810

found another fine solid mesh the other day, they use it for covering the tops of snake tanks ect, its a black plastic coated on,and the holes are square 1.5mm in size, prob is its about 10 quid for a sheet 1.5 ft x 3 ft long

Well while this has been re started I will add my bit.

If you are really struggling and have a few pennies try a cooking shop and see if they have any mesh covers to go over wok's and frying pans.

I bought one a while ago when I was in sainsbury's.

Pics if needed............  ;)

i need some fine mesh for my flailing tractor, any ideas, needs to be bigger gaps than shown above

Ok this will sound poofy but, go to a bulk fabric store, and you know the mesh fabric that is used on totos and that sort of thing, use that, i use it for silage covers on trailers, it has diffrent gap sizes

If anyone wants any of the Halfords Isopon type mesh come and see me at Spalding as I have found somewhere local that does it at a lower price than Halfords charge for it so will have some with me
