Hello everyone! I am finally going to build an awesome compost set up, I live in bear country and want some really strong hardware cloth. (the metal fencing around the bin). The standard is 19 gauge, I would really love 16 gauge, but with quarter inch holes. I would settle for half inch holes, but I cannot find any to save my life!
Everything I can see has black vinyl coating on it, I certainly do not want that. Does anyone have any sources on this by chance?

I found some at my local Ace
Maybe look into expanded metal, like [this](https://www.onlinemetals.com/en/buy/carbon-steel/0-5-hole-x-%2316-carbon-steel-expanded-a36-standard/pid/22554?variant=22554_12_12).
If you have a steel yard nearby you’ll probably be able to find it cheaper, but it’s pricey no matter what.
What are you putting into your compost bin that you need to worry about bears?
