PS Direct Hardware Cloth - 48" x 100' Multipurpose Galvanized Mesh – 1/2 Inch Square Openings, Great for Chicken Coop, Gutter Guard, Animal Control and Garden Use, 19 Gauge, 1 Roll

This stuff is quality and at the right price. It’s Feb 2022 and I just put up 300 feet of this stuff instead of the $80/25ft roll stuff from blue/orange hardware stores. Did our project for significantly less. The quality between the two is indistinguishable - squares are squared, material gauge is sturdy and isn’t tore up, packaged well. Proof point - this product is just as much of a pain in the ass to snip as the stuff from the big box stores for much more cost. Only downside I see here is that it’s a bit cumbersome to work with for a 100ft roll rather than a 25ft roll - but worth it for the cost savings alone.Context - I’m not a bot or paid reviewer, I’m a regular diy homeowner type, used it on a split rail fence to add a layer of defense against the deer that don’t care and jump right over anyway…Would buy again in a heartbeatPicture above is of product (left) and stuff from big box (right, stapled to fence)

Had an issue with rats getting under my porch. They chewed thru regular screen. National Wildlife has a website on what to do to keep rodents out. They recommend 16-19 gauge. Local big box store only carried 23 gauge. Tried to buy 16 gauge on line, but only available from out of state and shipping would have cost me about $800. For under $100, we got enough to double the wire and so far no more problems under the porch. Good price and strong gauge.

Used to wrap some young tree trunks to protect them from bobcat scratches. Worked well

It was difficult to get information on hardiness of wire fencing to be installed in the brackish waters of the St Johns River that empties at Jacksonville. This product was the first attempt. The purpose is to keep "grazers" out until "underwater aquatic vegetation" can grow and establish - (eel grass/ ribbon grass/ lillies etc). My Wildlife Biologist associate bought from one of the two big box stores. He has stories of snapping turtles (47) that rushed inside his test area enjoying the wonderful buffet his work had produced. He had two different rusted holes. I have had none to date. Hopefully this successful project will find State Legislatures willing to spend a few hundred thousand dollars for enough fence and poles to allow the start of recovery in the 60 miles without grass. .... the bass will be happier too!

Bought 12 of these, so imagine my silly frustration trying to unravel even one, knowing I have 11 more! The packaging was a bit much for its size, and may want to be revisited; potentially wrap around cardboard? It was wrapped with a wire ran throughout the layers, which though made it stay raveled tight, it was a pain in the behind to unravel.The product itself is great, which is why I’m still giving it 5 stars!

Just need to be prepared to have help if you have longer runs. Very good product, didn’t like the way it uncoiled when I cut the tie wire off. Made for tough run. Does great when installed.

The media could not be loaded.  Helps keep the fur buddy from busting through the screen wire. Installed it to help protect the finer screen wire.

easy to work with. good product
