No BS are expensive. Ogorman’s is going out of business. Keg Creek (Marty Smith), doesnt have it in stock anymore.

Anyone know of a bulk source for the stiff steel screen to buy in bulk?
Thanks

Ive dove down the online rabbit hole trying to figure out what exactly the screen is NO BS or OG had and cannot figure out what it is called or find it online for sale. No BS is not stainless screen, as it rust abit were the coating wears off or on the cut ends

Here you go. That’s a pic from 2019 so it’s probably a bunch more. Good steel stuff

Pawnee, thank you sir! Do you think O’gorman was having it coated after buying it? Does it rust pretty easy? If they had a black coated version, that would be the ticket i feel like.

I've heard of people waxing their screens to prevent sand from sifting through. I'd think the wax should keep the screen from rusting as well.

I ordered a roll of galvanized steel screen online, I prefer it over the black.
You could probably find black screen online, save money too

the galvanized screen is not as stiff as the black coated screen from ogorman. the black screen from menards, home depot, lowes, etc is fiberglass screen. i have not found a place to get black coated steel screen. i have thought about asking some local lumberyards if they can get it but i haven't yet

amazon has stainless steel screen and stainless black steel screen but i've never tried it to see how stiff it is, maybe as stiff or stiffer. maybe if you search hard enough on amazon may find the black coated screen.

That will not work for me then, as i like the stiff stuff. Good thoughts on asking at the lumberyards. I have seen this stainless black screen you are talking about. If i can find a small roll for decent price, i may order it to see.

Try this site. If you have an old screen you could probably send them it and see if they have something close in Guage and mesh count

LOL I have a quart can of "screen door paint". Used to be screen door screens were painted black with advertisements like "Wonder bread" logos on them. That went away with air conditioning and aluminum screen doors.

No galvanized screen is not as stiff as black screen, that's why I prefer galvanized

I like the really stiff coated black screen from ogormans too. Stainless steel is a harder steel than mild steel and doesn’t bend as easily so screen made out of it might be really stiff like the black coated stuff. I don’t know other than getting some and trying it.

I appriciate the replies from everybody. To get to the bottom of it, dustytinner, your idea would probably be best. Also am curious on the black stainless screen and its stiffness, like bluegrassman was talking about. Worse case scenerio, can just send it back with refund from Amazon.

I do know 2 things… Ogormans and No BS are different. Not stiffness wise, but Ogormans screen holes are slightly smaller on the screen.
Either way i run all No BS currently, and they are not too financially feasable on a large scale operation. Even there cheapest route (20 dz), comes out at $0.67 per screen
