Where to buy expanded metal for utility trailer gate?

[easternnc4me]

I am redoing a utility trailer I bought back from my sister in-law. Took the old expanded metal off today as it needs replacing. I'm looking for a 4X8' sheet of expanded metal to replace it. From what I've read onlin, 3/4 number 9 expanded metal would do fine. Any idea where I can buy this? I'm between Greenville, Wilson and Rocky Mount. Found some online at Walmart to order but it is only 2' wide Any suggestions?

Is this the stuff that looks like the grill on a pig cooker?

Yes.

I saw sheets of it at J&D metal in Durham.
They sell by the pound.

Thanks but Durham is a little drive. Was hoping to find it closer.

Dillon Supply in Raleigh stocks it, as does Steel and Pipe Corp in Sanford.

Thanks guys. Someone told me there was a Dillon's in Rocky Mount. I'll try there or the one in Greenville.

You'll pay 20% - 30% more at Dillon versus Steel and Pipe, but for a single sheet of mesh that's not a big deal.
