Zev Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Stainless or flyscreen stuff? What about aluminum joiners who do security doors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Stainless or flyscreen stuff? What about aluminum joiners who do security doors? Im not sure, based on whats on trademe i think its aluminium. All i know is its not the black fly screen stuff, its silver. Apparently stronger. possibly like this, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Fishing ... 377455.htm but i think you can get a finer mesh grade. That mesh has holes at 2.5mm apart. 16 to the sq/cm. Close to flyscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 actually like this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Fishing ... 650914.htm hmm maybe thats the same mesh as in the first link i gave. anyway thats the sorta thing im after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 The black stuff is usually plastic, our cats can chew through both - ali or plastic :-? I am going to Hunting and Fishing to get some shot shortly, will enquire while I am there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 No cats to worry about around here, just a pack of dogs Your a gem, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Well, that was not a successful trip - went out to look for those cheap kids plastic balls you buy by the bagful (about 60mm diameter) and did not find any, unless I wanted to buy a paddling pool as well just to get 20. I would even be willing to settle for some of those plastic ABC cubes that are hollow, but only found wooden ones - got 5kg of shot, though. Anyway, I digress. No mesh from Hunting and Fishing, he checked with their suppliers, and the alloy stuff is only available if you buy it as a collapsable whitebait net. What about the likes of Mico Metals or British Steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 True, sounds like my trip to Palmy to look for mesh the other day. Could try maccas playground for those balls, if thats what your after lol Mico metals maybe, just looked at there website. I may try the mitre10 in Levin next time im down there....sometimes they have things mitre10 mega doesnt. Apparently the one in New Plymouth has it. Otherwise maybe an aluminium joiner like you mentioned. Thanks for asking at Hunting and fishing anyway. Saves me going in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
