Starting to get ready to bond everything and my inspector stated I needed the 3' wide copper mesh grid all the way around my pool. I'm using a Paver Deck, so I'm assuming this just lays between the sand and pavers? Does anyone know where you can buy this stuff?! My neighbor (same inspector) used the steel (or rebar) grids from Lowes, but poured concrete. This bonding has really been a PITA and my inspector said, "You seem to know more than me at this point." REALLY not helpful!

You can probably just do a single loop of copper wire if your local code allows.
The mesh is no longer required by code from my understanding, but if the inspector wants it you will need to lay it.
Yeah, CMI is the only place I could find but WOW, that's expensive! I asked about the single wire, as that is all code calls for. But my inspector is insistent on having the grid as well.
My inspector took all of 15 seconds on-site. he never even checked the bonding points at the pool or light niche.
