I thought I bought mine at Lowes. I wonder if it is something they discontinued? or maybe the ones you asked should not be working there because they have no clue.
Try Home Depot and Lowes again. They should have it! Ask in piglatin they may understand then. Try asking where the chicken wire is. That should at least get you in the right direction. If they don't know what chicken wire is, I would pack up and move.
We have hardware cloth in Arizona and the weather is nice.

hardware cloth should be avalible. Might ask for 1/2 wire mesh see if they call it that. BUT 1/2 by 1 welded wire will work and is stronger. 1 by 1, 1 by 2. Works great also. Then expanded metal for floors lasts about for ever.

I've been looking for that myself. I found this online with free shipping. Is this a good price? I've never bought any before so I'm not sure.

I recommend 1/4 inch hardware cloth for any exterior openings, as you would be surprised what predators can still get inside....and that kind of surprise you can do without.

I agree with Tressa, I like 1/4 inch better than 1/2 inch for exterior use. It does a better job keeping the unwanted critters out. However for inside use I go with the 1/2 inch by 1 inch rabit hutch wire. The poop falls through much better than hardware cloth.

Either way, you should be able to get it at Lowe's or Home Depot. Did you look in the gardening section? It is usually outside with the flowers and landscape stuff.

I would check the store prices and see if the on-line deal is a good one or not. It's only free shipping if you spend $99 or more. Depending on the loft and how much wire you need, you would have to buy 4 rolls, 100 feet of the stuff to get it free.
I have 1/2" by 1/2" all over my lofts. 100's of feet of it. I've NEVER had any critters get in my loft. Never.
If anything gets in a loft with this size wire, it's going through an opening somewhere else. Not a 1/2" hole.

1/4" sounds like a plan.
I will check my local Lowes again and also ask the gardening people there if they have any.

LOL yeah, you have to ask where the "chicken wire" is at most places in order to find where they keep the hardware cloth too. I did get mine at Homedepot. Sometimes they have it in the garden center, at the moment they are keeping it at the back of the store with the lumber. Good luck!
