Have you tried TermiMesh? OK, that's its name in Australia, but I am sure you would have similar products in the USA. It is a stainless steel wire mesh - a bit like mosquito netting - with a mesh width of 1/32" and is used around drainpipes, house stumps etc, to stop termites from entering through the holes in the foundations, etc. I don't know what 1/32" is in HO scale as I am more used to metric measurements. I used a small bi-scale ruler to find out the Imperial measurement for you guys! I'm sure you can convert that into whatever it represents in full scale Imperial - and post it on this topic, as I would like to know, too! <br />I was out for a morning walk and found a pile of off-cuts on a building site which gave me enough material to make miles of fencing! It trims easily with scissors and does not need painting. If it is too shiny when new, probably a soaking in vinegar would dull the surface. Try entering the term "termite mesh" or "stainless steel mesh" in Google and see what comes up. Many manufacturers are quite happy to send you small samples of their products if you ask nicely (see the topic on Cheap trees recently!) . Most craft shops have ribbons of fine mesh fabric in metallic colours which are admirable for scale chicken coop wire mesh.
