Anyone know where I could pick up some replacement chain-link mesh? Could I actually use chain-link fencing? The stuff on the trap looks like it's a lighter weight chain-link then you would find on fencing. Not really wanting to buy from the manufacturer as it would probably pretty expensive.

Quote A number 6 gauge is .192 inches, while a large 12-1/2 gauge is .099 inches. The number 9 gauge is .148 inches and the 11-1/2 is .113 inches. That makes the difference between the 11-1/2 and 9 gauges .018 inches. 9 and 11 1/2 gauge seem to be the most common used in the fencing industry.
