Where can I buy powder coated wire mesh?

Hello there.


I'm in the process of building a rat cage and have been searching in just about every DIY department store, garden centre and pet shop I can think of, for powder coated wire mesh. But to no avail.


I've read in various books and articles that the "normal" variety of wire mesh is toxic to small animals when wet and can cause zinc poisoning. Hence why i need the posh stuff.


If anyone has any ideas where I can get this elusive material, could you please let me know. Would be most grateful.


many thanks,


Charlotte.

a garden centre,its usualy that green coated stuff.what do you mean about a rat cage for wild ones or pets is this cage in or out.most garden do it yourself,or even local builders yards would be able to help you..
Reply:Did you get it done? I am a powder coater. If you tell me what you want, I can buy it at a local pet store and powder coat it for you and ship it to you. Very reasonable prices. As long as the shortest dimension is under 17" Report Abuse

Reply:whoops, i meant the longest dimension is under 17 inches. $55.00 for paint and bake. Colors to choose from black, red, blue, and weathered green. Cost more for different colors. Report Abuse

Reply:Have you looked into the plastic coated type that was what me niece used with her rats.
Reply:Buy the zinc wire mesh than take it to a local powder coaters ,they will coat it for a small charge.
