This one sounds wierd, but try ladies stockings. Especially the no-run type. It's actually quite realistic. Plastruct has plastic coated wire you can adhere it to pretty easily.
There is this stuff people have been using for gift ribbons and wedding decorations. It's not been around too long. I super-glued the material to a fence I made out of little brass posts I got from the "beading" section at Jo Ann Fabrics and some piano wire. This meshlike "ribbon", I'll call it, comes in many colors and widths and even has a stiffener along the edge.
Here's how it came out;

I got a 200' kit made by Scale Structures Ltd:

I've got a Design Preservation kit (gold edition) that has a chain link fence in it. They seem to use that Tulle material as well, streched over cast metal fromework that you can probably duplicate with brass or alluminum tubing.
I use nylon window screen cut at a 45 degree angle for the fencing and small head stick pins for the posts. It's easy to get, quick and inexpensive. Best of all, it looks good.
COMBAT said:I messed up, it is bridal stuff you use, not bug screen. Sorry. I knew what I ment. LOL
Sun screen, a razor and straight edge....
It took me a loooooong time to get bug screen out of that. At first, all I got was a mental picture of a psycho wandering the beach in Florida, sizing up a victim. sign1 sign1 sign1
