Default Screen mesh suppliers

I have just purchased some used roller frames and was wondering where other roller frame users were getting thier mesh from and what a reasonable price is for mesh by the yard and by the 10 yard bolt. I have just started to look online and the prices ranges from 6 to 36 dollars a yard depending on mesh count and width.

Thanks in advance for any info you can give.

Roller frames can use the same mesh as regular static frames. We tried tried the sure-loc panels (pre-railed and sized) and the price difference was not really worth it for us.
I've heard that the Japanese make the best mesh but I haven't noticed any difference. We pay $10-20/yd and can get two automatic frames meshed per yard.
Also beware that there are different widths of mesh bolts. The cheaper stuff might be simply because it is not as wide a roll.
