Expert Gardener Galvanized Steel Gray Hardware Cloth, 36" x 5' Roll

I got this Galvanized Steel Hardware Cloth from Expert Gardener, because I needed something to block off the openings of the railing that surrounds my deck. This steel hardware cloth was perfect for what I needed. The cloth that I used is 5ft long and 2ft high, and each mesh hole is 1/2in. I wanted to block the openings of my deck rails to prevent my grand-kids from dropping toys and other things off the deck. Another reason for the mesh cloth was to keep my small dogs from potentially falling through the rails when out on the deck. The nice feature with this particular mesh cloth is that I can see through it and still enjoy my view. The mesh openings are a perfect size because it doesn't take away from the look of the deck; you can hardly tell that it's there. Installation of the Expert Gardener mesh cloth was really simple; since I used it on my deck all I needed to do was staple it with a staple gun and its holding fine. On the packaging it shows other uses for the mesh hardware cloth such as: using it as a tree guard, soil sifting, and using it as a chimney guard.

I haven't used this product yet but I'm sure it will come in handy in the spring. I have used hardware cloth similar to this in the past to close up spaces on my patio where starlings were trying to nest. I have also used it to protect young shrubs and trees from animal damage. This is a really versatile item to have around the house.

"Expert Gardner Galvanized Steel Hardware Cloth" The name says it all. Very strong and rust resistant. So many possibilities for usage. Perfect for small animal cages, such as rabbits, etc. I want to cover my chimney opening to keep birds or little animlas out. The ventilation opening around the brick foundation, any little place wildlife can move into, this would be beneficial for. The small 1/2 inch openings in the mesh are just perfect for all uses. I wish I had, had this to put around my young apple trees. If you have a need now or just want to keep on hand for upcoming projects, I would recommend this hardware cloth. Im sure crafters would have many ideas also.

This will be used in the spring since we got 18" of snow on the ground. It will surround my flowers that every year gets trampled on by pets of neighbors. It is made sturdy and should hold up well. It wont rust since it's galvanized. I cant wait to use it and strongly recommend this to anyone that needs peotection for their plants

No, not that kind. I mean the real ones, and squirrels, raccoons etc. This hardware cloth is simply the best way to keep out critters while letting in air. Simply cut it to the needed size and staple it inside any vent or opening. It allows air through while blocking everything else.

Wasn't sure what use it would be until we went outside and seen our fire pit. As of now it does not have a cover and the leaves and pine straw falls in and piles up which makes for a time consuming clean-up process before each use. So, this product worked out great! We even had enough left to cover our rack for the coals. Trying that part out this weekend to see how the material hols up to the heat.

I can't wait to use this Expert Gardener Hardware Cloth. It has a 1/2 in mesh opening. When spring comes I plan on using it in my garden to keep cucumber vines off the ground. I will mount it on 1x1 poles. It is called hardware cloth which is a little misleading as it is actually steel wire. It does however have may uses as shown on package. It can be used to cover chimney openings to keep debris out. It can be used for protection of new plants or trees or you can use it to sift rocks from the soil. It could be used as a trellis for flowers also. I'm sure there are many uses for this product.

I have used this particular product before, it works well for docile animal enclosures. It needs to be slightly buried to keep animals from pushing it up and escaping. Due to weather, have not had a chance to use the actual sample. I intend to use my cloth for fence repair, where a dog has dug under and displaced sections at a corner. Overlay the current fence, and use metal wire to secure the hardware cloth to the fence.

Disliked how every roll was wrapped differently with another set of wire. Almost as it was done by hand by several different people. Some of them were easy to take off while others were tangled in the square grids. Over all, you just need a set of small garden shears to get it unrolled.
