They apparently don't understand what you want. It is something that they all keep in stock. It is Concrete Reinforcing Wire. It is heavy gauge welded mesh in about six foot wide rolls. They are always rusty looking and the squares are 6X6. It is usually in the area with the rebar and other concrete things.It makes sturdy tomato cages. I also use them for cucumbers, green beans, peas, etc. I make a larger circle and place around my bananas and fill it with pine straw and cover it to keep it dry in the winter. I cut the bottom wire off so the wires can be pressed into the ground with my foot to keep them upright.
