I will update the post too. <br />The best source I could find was IFA Country Stores farm supply stores here in Salt Lake City. They are used for making livestock pens so they come in various sizes and grid dimensions. The ones we used are 16 feet long x 5 feet tall and were $52 each. Ours are made of 3/8-inch diameter galvanized steel wire (I think it's called 4 gauge) welded in a 4-inch grid. There are smaller or larger wire and grid sizes for different animals. They cut fairly easily with a medium sized bolt cutter. <br />We also used them in this other backyard project <br />http://lucydrewblog4u.blogspot.com/2010/01/join-us-in-new-room.htmlLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896006691904225007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168445375841748299.post-5482827901699626272015-02-07T06:15:31.993-07:002015-02-07T06:15:31.993-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395615807220066325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168445375841748299.post-84957997956689576152015-02-07T06:12:19.689-07:002015-02-07T06:12:19.689-07:00I have been searching for the grid mesh to use on ...I have been searching for the grid mesh to use on my deck. Can you tell me specifically what it is and where you purchased it--galvanized, powder coated, etc? Does it come in panels? Your project is absolutely lovely.

Need to think about what colors to paint the trim, columns, and horizontal beams now. Probably not orange ;-)<br />Perry, I wish I could have seen that house. You guys all have a lot of memories from it. <br />Linda, your comment almost brought a tear to my eye. This project has been so frustrating and slow, and I tend to focus on the details that didn't come out right. To hear a glowing opinion, especially coming from a color specialist such as yourself, makes some of the pain worth it.

I had to stop and comment now as I am blown away by the work you have done, the warm and inviting colors, the elegant simplicity, etc etc. It's really beautiful. Kudos to y'all! Wanna work on a condo in Montreal in June? (haha). You have the tools and the expertise, and we have the project! :-)<br /><br />Congratulations on a job well done. And Lucy, you are a natural story teller...I see a second career for you! I'm still giggling at all the "orange" entries in your blog. <br /><br />Happy healthy, relaxing 2011 to you both!<br />Love Linda & U.Huston xxooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168445375841748299.post-23456456324638560962011-01-03T16:11:52.118-07:002011-01-03T16:11:52.118-07:00This is amazing.
