[TowerTalk] Rohn 45 55 anti climb

[David Robbins K1TTT]

Hardware cloth is usually used to refer to a fairly fine mesh galvanized
steel screen... usually 1/4-1/2" mesh.  Sold in farm supply or building
supply places for fencing.

if that long link doesn't work go to:

and either go to sku 3627047 or 3627063 or 3627055
or search for 'fence' then select 'welded wire' for some more options.
