You may be able to find some CNC round holes punched, but it will be expensive. Can you find any metal screening like they use at dirt pits? Good s*it, and very expensive unless you can find some second hand. Strong, and welds good. Put a wanted ad in the paper.

I am going to use expanded metal covering the angle side son my trailer. Would 1/2 inch 13 guage be strong enough? I am wanting to be able to haul river gravel for my mulch and I like the small 1/2 inch size but I wish it was thicker. I can get 3/4 inch 9 guage but afraid the holes would be too big.
You might have to use two layers -- the 1/2" to hold the gravel, and much heavier stuff for strength, backing it up.
I could add more supports. I dont know I am going back and forth on that and plywood. Plywood does not last long though
You can put scrap plywood against the inside of the heavier mesh to haul gravel.

Use a tarp as a liner when hauling loose stuff - sand, gravel, dirt, manure, etc.
You'll also want to have one to cover those loads...
