The one 8,512 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 inch by inch should be fine get yourself down to a agricultural supplier and buy good quailty mesh Quote Link to post
Coatesy900 0 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Although I use 10 by 10mm, I would have thought chicken wire would do the job much more cheaply. Its more flexable than other mesh though so you will probably need more staples etc. where it meets the frame to stop them pushing though a potential gap there. Quote Link to post

Chicken wires shit the first time a ferret bites it ,it will rust if the ferret bites the same spot again it going to get out ,Get some good quaility weld mesh you might pay a bit more but it's worth it in the long run .
