Good source for sturdy non-rusting Chicken Wire?

16 years ago

I am doing 2 sets of french doors for my "fancy" pantry and dish pantries. Instead of glass, I have decided to do chickenwire. I would like it to be either non-rusting galvanized, or a shiny version of a silver metal, or bronze. I do not want brass of any kind. Also, I would like to find a thick enough gauge that the wire will not bend easily. These will be full length doors, so the piece of mesh will be approx 10-11" wide by 72-73" long.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has any pics of a long door done this way that would be great!!

Would nickel work? They have it at Rockler. Of course, they also have brass...but just scroll down to nickel.

Brass is where we part company! ;-)

Good old Outwater Industries has a bazillion different screen mesh patterns for cabinets, in a bunch of different finishes. Link below is to the first of about a dozen pages of wire designs, surely there's something there for you:

Rockler doesn't seem to carry actual chicken wire. Van Dykes has what I want, looks like antique pewter is nice, but it only comes 48" long :(. Looks like Outwater (which I had never heard from before might have the length I need. Need to take some time to look at it closely.

Thanks everyone!
