Exclamation Anybody know where to get Mesh?

Anybody know where I could possibly get some mesh for the ceiling of my viv? I looked on the b&q website, but didn't find anything?

Also... I need to know, what grout everyone uses when builing hides, climbs and whatnot, please help?

No, I haven't used them, I was going too but my local hardware shop had mosquito netting which suited more what I wanted to do, which was to put up a screen in a window so that I could open it and keep my animals from escaping.

Hi, i've bought some flyscreen mesh from a chap on ebay a few times, he also sells stainless mesh and aluminium mesh too, the flyscreen mesh i bought was very reasonable, postage too, despatch and delivery very quick, 1st rate all round. his ebay name is flyscreen man, so just type in a search, failing that if you cant find him, reply back and i will look up one of his items and send you the number to type in.
as for the grout, i used a powder grout as you can make it to the chosen consistency thinner to start off with, to get into all the little nooks and crannies and make thicker coats as you go along, you could use plain white, add some acrylic paint to colour it, i actually bought a sandstone colour which was more expensive, but it did help with seeing where to put it as it was much darker when wet and lighter over the dry parts that i needed to re-grout. try to choose a grout without the fungisides, though you will need to seal it with waterproof pva or something else, some peeps have used epoxy resin, others yaught varnish.
hope this helps
