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.

Thanks guys,

What size are you ordering? Its hard to tell with the measurements they give on the sites.

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.
