Default Web source of wire for fencing please

I have Googled extensively but cannot find a source, on the Web, for
2.64mm spring steel wire, which local Agricultural Merchants don't sell.
An alternative would be 4mm mild steel wire, though I can, if
necessary get that from local Agricultural Merchants.
I am fed up with rabbits wrecking the area of my garden not protected,
so I have decided to erect fencing around the lot. the advantage of the
spring steel wire is a far greater distance between supporting posts,
and they will be the devil to get into my ground.

I'm not sure you really mean spring steel, as this used to come in 1m
lengths.

Do you mean high tensile wire, if thats what you are after any good ag
merchant will stock it. Its a devil to cut with fencing pliers thou.

But to keep rabbits 'out' or 'in' you should use rabbit netting.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that, yes I have since found that it is also called high
tensile wire, unfortunately local Agricultural merchants do not stock
it. though I have now found a source on the net.
