Cheap perforated/mesh aluminium?
cloudy - 5/2/09 at 12:46 PM

I'm looking for some cheap preferably perforated (otherwise mesh) aluminium, in a 1x1m sheet, thin - Best price i've found is £60 which seems excessive!

What thickness, % perforated or hole size?

Don't know how much B&Q charge, but they have a reasonable selection of styles and sizes.

B&Q's prices seemed stupid, they were like 1footx1foot for £30

thickness or hole spec doesn't really matter, long as the ally is 1-2mm thick..

Well the most expensive one they had in my B&Q was £26, an that looked like 1mx1m. I picked up a 600x600mm and that cost me £16. They had loads of styles too!
