Goplus 1/2 Inch Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh - Heavy Duty Hardware Cloth for Chicken Coop, Rabbit Fence, Garden Protection & Window Screens (48" x 50') - Ideal for Poultry, Small Animal Enclosures & DIY Projects

I bought this for a very specific purpose, to staple to the bottom of some raised planters I'm building out of cedar. The wire is to prevent intrusion by gophers which, incidentally, can get through I inch hex fencing (chicken wire). Since this wire is I/2 inch...no problem. Since it's galvanized I shouldn't have any rust issues, either. It was delivered as promised and was well packed. So from a product standpoint it's exactly what I needed. The reason for only four stars is that Amazon has so many varieties listed that it took forever to find the one I needed, and frequently I found the descriptions very sketchy. I almost ordered one that I finally discovered was vinyl, or vinyl coated...I never was sure. Given the nature of the product, that is, so long, so wide, with and opening of so many inches and having the following features ( ie:galvanized,etc) at such a price strikes me as a fairly ration format for listing various products. Not in my experience! Other than that, no complaints, and I'll no doubt be buying more.My wife is at war with the gophers in our yard. Her latest salvo is to dig up [most of] the lawn and use this metal mesh as a barrier to keep the rodents from filling the yard with holes.The wire is sturdy and being galvanized it should hold up underground for a good while.I took off a star because we ended up with an extra roll. Goplus charges $20 to return and we pay for shipping so we would only get back about half the cost of that roll.So measure carefully and don't expect Amazon's return policies to apply. Otherwise it's a good deal.Bought a number of rolls of this after buying a number of rolls of a pricier similar product on amazon. This is shinier than the competitor which had a greyer/less shine look to it. Hopefully it doesn't rust and is just as galvanized. Buying about 10 rolls of it, I took the gamble since it was 30% cheaper. On one of the rolls there was about 6 inches of it where the wire popped off, but other than that it seemed to be just as durable for my needs (enclosed veggie garden).I used this to keep the critters from getting under my back deck. The roll showed up to the house a couple days early, it cut easy, was sturdy enough to be stapled on with an air nailer, squirrel's are furious - what more do you want? No really - I have two giant walnut trees and those squirrels spend all day, every day, dragging walnuts under the deck. Did I mention that these are black walnuts? Beautiful trees but the nuts just smell bad when those husks start rotting. Anyway - finally got this barrier up... And they are biting at the fencing, chattering like idiots and I think they might be starting to fight each other. I am pretty sure they are storing the nuts in my neighbors shed now too... so... two birds. Great product!I used this to reinforce my existing garden fence to keep out rabbits. It's been up for a few months and is doing its job!! Very sturdy fence. Make sure you wear gloves when handling and cutting the fence to save your hands!My chicken coop has been up over a year and no rust.nothing, great book,Used this for a poultry pen I recently built.Overall I'm pleased with it but it is a tad difficult to work with because it is a heavier gauge wire.There were a few manufacturers flaws in the weave, hence the 4 stars. Over all, it is decent and works well for predator proofing my chicken coop and run.Great fencing bought 3 rolls in today's world I can not find this product anywhere else especially 50 foot rollsFor what I paid, this wire will work great for me.I left it in the rain since I received it, no sign of any rust.
