Top build, locally sourced net material

[swalke2]

Hi, Getting back into the hobby. Looking to build tops for a 13.5 and 20 waterbox using clear 1/4" netting and cannot for the life of me remember where I bought the net years ago locally. Seems a lot of shops have closed and not many new ones opened.
I know I can source it online from BRS, but like to do my part and shop locally first. The other option is 1/2" bird netting from HD/Lowes, but afraid the 1/2" squares will be too big for the nano size fish. Does anyone near Dunwoody sell this type netting?

Thanks Steve

I have looked very thoroughly in the metro and have not been able to find the netting. Maybe I missed something and I'd love to have another option other than BRS.

Lots of people use bridal netting available at any fabric store- the black netting looks better than the white netting. Joann’s sell nylon black netting washable no additives that many folks use for diy tops.

Any ones you recommend on Amazon? I’m in the same process right now.

I looked at many types of netting. As mentioned, the black doesn’t reflect/scatter as much light into the room. I decided on this version and is in stock at Hobby Lobby and sold in 72 inch width, by the yard -

Thanks everyone. I opted to go with the black bird netting from Lowe’s. The 1/2” squares are not nearly as big as what I thought it would be. 14x14’ for 6$. The netting seems to be really thin, but strong.

Good to know ^ thx!

So the bird net appears to be a win! Any little critter trying to run away will have to be rather accurate to thread that needle. Aesthetically, looks eh.. There has evidently been a run on brown screen frame, so silver it was for now.
