I wonder if these are new, or only available in certain areas. I've looked all over Home Depot before for anything I could use to make a cage, and I haven't run across anything like this before.

It would be nice to see it in person before ordering some.

To Do:
Go to Target.
Go to Home Depot

Finne Snappanel is just hardware cloth, but coated. The pieces are made to fit in the snap fences. At my Home Depot, both snappanels and hardware cloth are in the garden section. They come in 2 sizes and are packaged in pairs or 4-packs.

Ginene: Per your request, here are photos of snappanels in use. I am building an indoor flight, and so I used a wood frame. However, I think you could hook this together as you would any hardware cloth. The best thing about it is that it isn't rolled.
