Woven Wire 8 Mesh 24"X40" 60cm X100cm Size 2.5mm Hole 0.80mm Wire Heavy Stainless Steel 304L 60% Open Area Beekeeping Varoa/Varroa Apiary Steel

I needed something to dress up a vent I cut in the side of my Jeep fenders. This, used with stainless steel rivets worked wonderfully.The negative, it came from China.

I use a screen mesh inner cover during the warm months. The bees coated the mesh I was using with propolis (the kit came with an aluminum fine mesh) -- rendering it useless. Hardware cloth is not good -- it is coated with lead (read the label on hardware cloth -- it says to wash your hands after touching). Aluminum might have residue that is harmful too.Have to protect 'my girls'.This product is bee safe and cut to perfect dimension. It is MUCH easier to clean the propolis off.It is expensive but worth the cost because it is reusable.Two notes -- plan on getting an extra strong pair of snippers -- this stuff is hard to cut. -- BE CAREFUL when you unroll it. The edges are SHARP. The bundle is tightly wound and will 'explode' when you cut off the cable tiesI bought this product outright -- did not receive any incentive from the manufacturer for my review. A totally honest review.

This wire was good and very strong, but it wasn't as flexible as expected.

Excellent quality mesh. I have heavy duty tin snips (16” long) and they cut sheet metal like butter. It was difficult to cut this mesh. However, it was perfect for replacing the cheap rusted out screen on my fire pit. About $57 in material versus a new fire pit or screen for $150+. Great product. Fast shipping.

I returned this product as it was not flexible enough for the application I had planed using it for. But if I ever need a sturdier and stiffer mesh I’d order this.

Heavy duty screen that was nicely rolled up and easy enough to cut with tin snips. It can unwind a bit around the cut but for the most part it stayed in place. Used it to cover two rusted out vents in my attic.

I needed this larger size to cut pieces from. It does not cut easily. My attempt with a commercial shear-press was unsuccessful. I did succeed with a good, sharp, tight, pair of Wiss aviation "lay-flat" style hand snips. They come in LH and RH cut. It is good to have both. I used the mesh to screen the inside of a chimney cap so that birds and wasps could not get in. I hope it works as well for you.

For the price of this piece of material, especially when adding on the exchange to Canadian dollars, it was not worth it. I had a small project to do and was irritated by the wasted material, due to the way the piece was cut on an angle. It was off by more than 4 full rows from end to end, so had to trim a bunch off to keep the lines straight, making more work.

Nice looking product

No problem with the product necessarily but you should know that the wires are woven - not welded. This means that the wires at the edges of a cut have a tendency to pull out. It also means that pieces easily go out of square. If you plan to cut the sheet into smaller pieces this can be frustrating. For larger pieces you probably won't notice.
