If you look under Kept Animals, and under galvanised wire you will find Peasticks recommending

and twave suggests screwfix

Hope that is of some use.

Usually your local fencing contactor is the best bet.

They have more choice and there is always a chance of getting 'roll ends'!

I found the best place for cheap mesh was Asda - strange but true

Last year it was 7.99 for a 20m roll

What about your local freecycle.   Go on line to find it.    You usually have to offer something first.   I have had water butts, slabs, a shed,  as well as children's bikes.   Just a thought.
