Default Expanded Metal Source

I just finished cleaning out a squirrel nest in the engine compartment of my 357. They gained acces by chewing through my cockpit cover and going into the side air ventalation to the motors. I am also adding scoops to the hatch and would like to find a source for stainless expanded metal to keep rodents out of the area, I also like the looks of it on the newer boats. Any advice where to purchase this would be greatly appreciated.

I have not used it for the particular application you are but I would think a fine or very small smesh opening would look the best. I think you can even get polished stainless steel for the extra pop. Good Luck.
