HARDWARE CLOTH 1/4" X 36" X FOOT

When the pest exclusion or screening application calls for a finer mesh than standard 1/2-inch hardware cloth -- sealing mouse entry points, screening foundation vents against insects, lining garden beds against voles, or fabricating fine-mesh guards and enclosures -- this 1/4-inch hardware cloth provides a tighter barrier without sacrificing the workability and corrosion resistance of galvanized steel. This 1/4" x 36" Galvanized Hardware Cloth is a 23-gauge galvanized welded steel wire mesh with 1/4" x 1/4" square openings, sold by the linear foot in 36-inch wide sections -- the same proven galvanized construction as the 1/2" version (SKU 1000353) but with finer mesh and lighter 23-gauge wire for applications where a smaller opening is required.

Key Features:

• 1/4" x 1/4" Square Mesh -- Finer Exclusion -- 1/4-inch square mesh openings exclude mice, voles, insects, and other small pests that can pass through standard 1/2-inch hardware cloth -- the preferred mesh size for applications requiring maximum pest exclusion performance.
• Sold Per Linear Foot -- Buy Only What You Need -- Sold by the linear foot in 36-inch wide sections -- purchase exactly the length needed for the job without buying an entire roll. Order multiple feet for larger applications.
• 23-Gauge Galvanized Steel -- 23-gauge galvanized steel wire is lighter and more flexible than 19-gauge -- easier to cut with standard snips and to conform to frames, openings, and irregular shapes in building maintenance exclusion and repair applications.
• Galvanized -- Rust & Corrosion Resistant -- Zinc galvanization resists rust and corrosion for long-term performance in both interior and exterior building maintenance applications -- moisture-prone areas, exterior foundation vents, and drain covers.
• Easy to Cut & Form -- The lighter 23-gauge wire cuts easily with standard snips or wire cutters and bends readily to fit frames, openings, and custom shapes -- well suited for the variety of fine-mesh repair and exclusion tasks encountered in building maintenance.
• 36" Wide -- Standard 36-inch width covers common vent, crawl space, and opening dimensions without waste.

Where to Use:

• Mouse and small pest exclusion -- Sealing mouse entry points, gaps, and penetrations in building foundations, walls, and utility openings where 1/2-inch mesh is too coarse
• Insect screening for foundation vents -- Fine-mesh screening for crawl space and foundation vents to exclude insects while allowing air circulation
• Garden vole and rodent barriers -- Lining raised garden beds and protecting plantings from voles and small rodents that pass through coarser mesh
• Fine-mesh guards and enclosures -- Fabricating guards, screens, and enclosures throughout commercial and residential building maintenance where fine-mesh wire is required
