Archaeologists are fond of this stuff. You build dirt sifters out of a wooden square frame and the cloth makes the "bottom". Pour in the dirt and shake the frame (the more elegant ones suspend the entire frame so your arms don't) and you sort out the larger items. You can get a 1/8 inch mesh, as well. And yes it is known as hardware cloth in Fla as well. It is quite stiff. The wires make exact squares. What I know as "chicken wire" has a hexagonal-shaped "opening" about one inch on a side and is much more flexible, and surely costs a lot less. Just enough to keep the chicken from escaping. It's woven much like a chain link fence. I never heard the term "poultry wire". - Bob _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
