what is hardwire cloth? never heard of it or did mean that just
figuratively

Hardware cloth is a wire matrix where all the wires
are soldered together. The openings are square and
about 1/4"-1/2" on the sides. It is commonly used
for small animal cages. I'm sure you know what it
looks like, just not familiar with its name. It makes
a better ground plane than chicken wire or hog wire.
It also makes a good top/end hat.
