I got mine from silverprint. They used to supply, I think it was a fibreglass mesh, on the roll. Wasn't too expensive

I made all my drying screens out of do-it-yourself aluminium frame insect screen technology.

Thanks Maris.
Unfortunately theres not a great call for insect screens in the uk, so my local B&Q doesn't stock them...

I bought Drying Screen Mesh from Silverprint a few weeks ago - http://www.silverprint.co.uk/Product....asp?PrGrp=107

Easy to use - I used plain ordinary scissors to cut the mesh
