Next is the wire... I use 0.035" solid stainless steel MIG welder wire. It is available at hardware stores that sell MIG welders. But if you only need 30 Ft feet, you could be in trouble. It comes in huge and expensive rolls, so that route is not so hot. The best place to get the quantity you need is just to drop in on a welding shop and ask for some. You will need 30 Ft at the most, but twice that would be a good idea if you've never worked with it before. 60 Ft is so little to a welder that chances are you will walk away with for a smile and a thank you. On the other hand, you can do the screen with polypropylene twine - anything will work - it just needs to be non-biodegradeable and non-stretchy.
