I used to buy huge spools of #16 tinned copper "bus wire" from
Interstate Wire and Cable in Dallas, TX.  The price was fairly
good compared to building wire from the home store.  I built
a grid with 3x3 foot spacing, so insulated wire was out, and
tinning was a real plus for soldering the crossovers.  After
10 years on the ground, the grid is still in good shape.
