Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 You may be able to get some fabric from a fabric shop or get fly mesh screen from you local hardware store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaNs Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Get the metal stuff from mitre10. Not the fabric stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantezGirl Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 any idea what its called? and thanks every one for the helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I'd suggest a fabric shop. All kinds of different types of meshes, something like wedding veil would probably work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim r Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Plain net curtain material would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytawnykitten Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yeah I would try some cheap net curtains from The Warehouse or I can send you some netting from Spotlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 as said twice above get the mesh from mitre 10 or bunnings, its about 10 bux per meter by 900mm wide, great stuff same as used in security/screen doors, build a wooden frame that fits the top of your tank staple mesh to that and your sorted!
