Where Can I get Mesh for a Grill??

Trying to get some diamond mesh to fab a grill, not willing to pay 150 for grillcrapt. Anyone know where I can find some expanded diamond metal?

Tried home depot, ashby lumber and a couple random places.

Industrial Metal Supply. Uh, if those even exist in the Bay Area. Something similar would work. Basically, wherever fabricators and metal workers buy their metal. A place like that.

This place has some that matches the STI grill mesh pretty well. Didnt chip on me either.

Think I had the Diamond XXL one. The Hex one looks like it would match better though.

I went to hardware stores but couldn't find any decent mesh, and I couldn't find any that was big enough for lower grill


Sorry this is for lower grill.

None of them have a sheet long enough, and home depot didn't really have much at all.


50 seems cooler than the 150 for grillcrap that comes with their lame *** logo...barffffff If i had a chevy pickup itd be sweet but

It's one of those places you have to go and look at. You know, like they did back in the ye olde days. Any excuse to go to a metal supply store is a good excuse. Go. You'll enjoy.
