Mesh available from builders merchants, used as plasterers exmet, (expanded metal). I only know this cos I used it on a radiator cupboard I made in the hall, and refused to pay £100 for a ready made one.

Trouble with that stuff is it's galvanised, most the mesh grill kits are stainless or anodised.
