This is basically the same thing as the netting you can buy to keep birds off your garden. The filament measures 0.006 inches. I found it impossible to attach it to an existing flat fence. No matter how many staples I put in, the netting would rip out. Perhaps if you wrap it several times around a post, you will get enough friction to anchor it firmly. In any event, while you are working with it don't let it sag and touch any debris on the ground, or you will have a lot of work getting it untangled.
