"This wire is different than what is shown on the site. It is thinner and has a black coating. When I was almost finished with my chicken coop project, I found a section that was defective which the photo above shows. I could not return the the wire because I had already cut and used most of it. I found the defective part on the last large section I was attaching. Very frustrating. I can not recommend this wire."

We get bunnies hiding at night in our 6” gutters, then hungry bobcats pull the gutters off the house. What a mess. It takes some tinkering but this wire can be cut & folded to make a removable stopper for the downspouts. Works well, gutters are still attached.stephanie east

I used this to cover the space between the bottom of a fence and the ground, and between the bottom of the gates and the sidewalk. It staples easy to the wood slats and withstands the cats, squirrels, and small creatures trying to come onto the property from the alley behind my house .creations by christy

Really works great. We had many gophers and we decided to use lots of this over the entire front yard. We did overlap by 12 inches as I was in fear of more gopher seeking in. After 6 months I’ve seen no sign. Thank youthe happy woodworker

This chicken wire fencing works perfectly for the project for which I bought it. And the total cost of the project was less than $25 (actually many hundreds of dollars less than what the gutter manufacturer's solution would have cost). I installed the chicken wire fencing as a "leaf guard" on a 24-foot 5" house gutter. In addition to the fencing, I also used five #8x1/2" gutter screws with washers properly sized for both the fencing and the screws and I also used about 30 feet of boxing tape. I used the boxing tape on the side of the fencing that I was planning on sliding under the roof's asphalt shingles just to make sure the fencing wouldn't damage the shingles. I used the gutter screws and washers to securely fasten the fencing to the outer lip of the gutter (this method of attaching the fencing would allow for an easy removal of the fencing in the future if that became necessary for some reason).It's been some months now since the installation and as of yesterday (15 Dec, when I checked to see how the fencing was working) there was not a single leaf in the gutter even though the roof was littered with leaves. I watched for a while to see how it was working. The leaves would just slide down the roof to the gutter where they then would just slide of the edge of the gutter/fencing.In any case I'm glad I made the purchase and would be glad to do it again.elpy
