Where to get 'metal mesh' screen?

I'd like to get some of that metal screening like they put on the back of Valve Jr. cabs..Carvin uses it quite a bit too and I'm sure many others. Anyway it's great for open back cabs...the cab stays open back but junk can't get in there with the speaker. I don't even know what to call that stuff!

Here's what I'm talking about:

Try searching for "perforated metal sheets"

If you want to go on the cheap, Home Depot sells a similar metal mesh in the gutter parts section. It comes in 3-4ft lengths and is wide enough for most amplifier applications. It is silver in color, but a quick shot with Rustoleum cures that fast.

They call it "Speaker Grill" here, but they don't charge a lot for it and will cut it to size if you like. There's a number of different styles, if you'd rather something perforated instead of expanded, or a mesh.
