Default Source of fencing wire please

I need to erect a rabbit proof fence. No problem sourcing the netting
on the net :-). However I am having trouble finding a source for wire
on the net. I would prefer 2.64mm spring steel though 4mm mild steel
would be a suitable alternative. I can get the mild steel one from a
local Agricultural Merchants if necessary.
Thanks

eBay has a lot of fences passing stuff off.

Had a look there, can't find any steel wire. Plenty of barbed wire though!

What an odd size. Why 2.64mm?

Possibly better known as "high tensile" fencing wire than "spring steel"
at agricultural merchants.

Do CWG stock it? There are branches around the country, and a
dysfunctional web site.

Thanks, I got the measurement and description from a manual on fencing.
High tensile has (at last) given me some hits. Thanks one and all.
