So, is 1/4" mesh an appropriately small enough size for a gable louver
vent? What say you?

1/8 Inch Mesh Hardware Cloth?

Seem bee keepers use it...


I'd definitely use something small enough to keep wasps, bees, etc out, not
1/4".



Alright, thanks guys, looks like I'll pick up some of the 1/8" mesh.
I'm still curious as to why the commercial gable louvers come with a
1/4" mesh though....


They charge extra for hornets, so most people don't have any.
