£6 for a large sheet of 0.9cm squared mesh. Could make two out of it but I messed up the first one lol.

Here it is.


I did manage to make my vent of 100mm x 1200mm for when I rebuild my boas 4 foot tank. As back board is loose.

If you can get two out of it for £6.00 that's cheap! Next step is to get the bottom to open for easier bulb changing.....

I did manage to make two out of it. Instead of making a net. I cut all the sides separately. So I did and still had load left over. But not enough for a third lol

And the bottom opening would be good but being held in by 2 screws. Isn't a massive issue lol
