Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Does it exist? I need 8' x 4' of the shit. I've googled till my blood pressure can't take any more. If it's out there? I can probably scrounge the off cut I need. I thought I might get away with a sheet of concrete reinforcing steel? Seems that's more like 8" x 4"? No good. I just need 8' x 4' of something with 4" x 4" holes in it. Pretty much anything will do. Wire. Rope. Steel. What ever. Any pointers, please? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Cheers, Dan. All this mm stuff fukks my head up. Does that mean sheets of 4" x 4" shit exist? And those sheets are how big, please? In feet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 That'll do it, BB. In my world? Cable Ties can cover a multitude of fukking sins! " Kanny " depends on joints. (See what I just did there?! ) " Socks " depends on himself. Me? I'd be completely fukked without cable ties. Should anyone care, by the way? I'm just looking at making a crow trap. I have this 8' x 4', six foot high shit available. Was looking at making it into a Ladder Trap. Fukk all that! Far easier to go with the " Sheep Netting " type. But, that would likely have been rope, back in the day? Dunno. Just needs to have these four inch square holes and I'm sorted Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 10,397 Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 If you cant get exactly what you need just buy the 2inch and get working with the wire cutters and start removing the centres to leave 4x4 inch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Thought about that myself, Len. I actually have a Big roll of 'surplus' mesh here, right now. Just can't be sure if I'd rather spend my time hacking the shit out of that ~ destroying a Lot of more purposeful gear. Or just buy a sheet of ready made and slap it straight on there. I also just envisage, through experience, a tougher, steadier mesh working out better. Dunno. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
