I buy my perforated steel in Port Kells. If you look under 'screen' in the yellow pages you should find lots.

Store bought waffle grill isn't heavy enough? Canadian Tire and the like sell heavy expanded metal that should be more than strong enough.

Dukk, I used to shop at the Industrial Plastics in Surrey all the time back when. Really nice guys. Are they still near the skytrain station across from Safeway?

Don't have the address at hand but 136st or so and 78th ave is the area.

Nothing at CanTire eh? been a while since I looked but it used to be with the angle iron, ready rod and such.

Again - try the yellow pages under 'screen' and 'metal'

Thanks, Dukk. I'll go pay them a visit.

I agree glass is much better, defro, but I have little to no experience with drilling into glass or cutting curves. I've searched the Internet for tips on working with glass and it doesn't look that hard. It'll probably end up being cheaper to just get stuff done at a glass shop, but being able to do it yourself is kinda neat.

silva95teg, Metal Mart or Metal Supermarkets. Both these places have what you are looking for.
