Have indeed found 1200x800, 5150, and 4100 at Biltema, but it's a bit weak, I would probably want 6150 or 6100. Preferably a little larger LxW as well. It will be used as a combined fence trellis, and I prefer that it does not flex under load.
Are there half, third, or quarter pieces of reinforcement mesh available?
Who has them if so?

Either if you have a construction company in the neighborhood, they usually have some scrap pieces that can be exchanged for a bag of pastries.
Alternatively, the slightly more well-stocked building supply stores like Optimera (which I have good experience with) might have or agree to share a piece.

A neighbor of a relative has really sturdy rebar, must be about 40mm in diameter, set up as a mesh (I assume he welded it himself). That's what I would go for if I were you, maybe not quite as thick but at least buy the iron and build the mesh yourself.
Of course they should be galvanized! Rust is really ugly and always looks shabby. I got a price estimate over the phone of between 500-1000 SEK + VAT for hot-dip galvanizing. Worth every penny!injonil said:
Having the building supply store cut them to size, with right angles in the corners and suitable tolerance, sounds very expensive... I don't have access to a car with a tow hook, or a trailer, so both the tow vehicle and trailer would have to be rented if I were to transport the entire mesh home.injonil said:
It's simply easiest if there are ready-made small pieces available for purchase.
I would think a bit before using an angle grinder at a construction store, hot work and sparks... would use a reciprocating saw, bolt cutter, or possibly a hacksaw.
