Where can I find plastic mesh screening

[James983]

Any idea who sells this stuff? I need it to glue to my overflows. The teeth on my overflows are wide and my small clowns keep landing in my sump.

I used this stuff to make a tank cover.. it sounds like it'd work for your purpose

Go to Home Depot and in the garden center is a product called bird netting, I used it to make my screen top.

rick, Not the egg crate.

Tim, it looks like it will work but what I have seen is just plastic screen material.

Home Depot doesn't have it on there site but here is a link to the same product http://www.gardeners.com/Bird-Netting/16319,default,pd.html

You can also find it at AceHardware. Pond netting. I used that and window screen repair kit to make screened tops for my tank.

I also used plastic screening from ACE hardware. The other thing that I use to cover my overflows is the plastic gutter guard that HD sells

Thanks much for all the help guys. I gotta do something, I had to fish him out again this morning.

James,
See if the plastic gutter guard is good enough in terms of hole size because the screening material will clog quickly. Even with the gutter guard, I still have to be cautious and clean them with a foxtail brush every 4-6 months or my water level starts rising.
