Petal material source?

[Flinthill]

Hi All,
I'm not certain just where to post this question and hope you can help out. I am trying to find a source for the stretch aluminum material used for panels (petals) in a 10 foot, C/Ku dish. If I can find a source I can cut and install my own panels. Hail punched holes in the current ones.

Many thanks for any assistance you can give.

you could leave it like it is and insert some heavy screen ( door or window material)

also i think skyvision also sales replacement mesh but it might be costly.

Samidish.com sells mesh replacement panels for their dishes. I bet you could contact them and get just the mesh.

Sent an email to Samidish.com and they did not reply.

Thanks to you both for your advice.

Some time ago, a poster mentioned the security screen door companies and installers
Something about using the same the perf'd metal sheets for dishes.
I don't know if he was making a joke , being silly , drunk , or if there was something to it, because I never followed up on the question.
Doesn't seem promising, but then again . . . . . .
