Any updated photos mate? I am starting a pit build this weekend and would love to see what you've done
Cheers
My local reptile shop has an EWD/Bluetongue/Shingleback pit, and instead of using mesh, they have a timber bannister just above waist height, and under that they have used perspex sheet. Problem with mesh, unless you get toughened sheets, is they can bend and get wavy, especially when they get climbed on, etc.
You could always approach a pool place and get a quote on clear pool fencing as another option.
That may work inside but for an outside pit i would be going with tall walls and a lid, dont want any feral cats getting in and killing your lizards.
20mm heavy duty (2-4mm wire) mess wont flex much and will keep lizards in and predators out.

Im trying to make it basically a large aviary. Today i built the corner posts and started attaching the aviary mesh. It will flex a bit but i'm not too worried about that, it is still fairy sturdy and doesn't take away from the view. It's very easy to see through. I've figured out a way to build the gate so I'm happy about that. I will hopefully have it almost finished by this weekend. Work and a few other things have taken up a lot of my time and made it very hard to get much done but it is slowly coming together.

A few more plants have been added and the existing plants are growing nicely. The 4 posts are in, the mesh on the back is finished and the mesh on the left side and top has been started.
