Default 6mm square mesh?

Hello,
I was wondering where people buy this from? Do places like B+Q and Homebase do it? Our local independent garden shop only does chicken wire in terms of mesh. I've bought larger mesh (1cm x 2cm) rolls before, but I've never needed to look into tiny mesh before.

I'm going to have a search on past threads, but any help is appreciated

eta - I only need about 1m^2

I bought a small panel from Wickes. It was in the garden centre bit outside.

It was plenty big enough to mesh a ZZ2.

I've got a roll of it in the past from Wilkinson in the garden section

I got mine from the local garden centre but it was about £8 Wickes is a lot cheaper I gather. I liked the sheet easier to manage than a roll, it's meshed a zoozone 1 and got enough for another cage.

I found it in B&Q and The Range. Sometimes it is out of stock at my local B&Q - I was told it's only stocked in gardening season!

That's really good to know, thanks. Unfortunately the nearest Wickes is over 30 miles away and as I don't drive (limited to bike/ train/ bribing housemate who can drive) that's sort of out. For some reason mesh at Wickes counts as "big and bulky" - for which there's a flat £44 delivery charge. So, er, no

I didn't know Wilkos stocked it - there's one of those nearish too, so will have a look

Ours was in a local garden centre and Charlies. There're Charlies in a few places so if you have one of those you could always check there? It was better priced than our garden centre too.

My town doesn't have any garden centres unfortunately. Well, it has one, but it's more a nursery than equipment. But apparently RR sell it, and I've also been offered some for the price of delivery by a friend. So either way, I think I'm sorted. Thanks though
