Wanted to install a mesh to stop small animal pests from living under our wood deck that is driving our Koren Jindo hunting dog, nuts! Did see that it was 2" but thought I could double it up. Wrong! This item is very hard to open and unwrap and really you just have to start cutting it, to unwind. Found the correct product .....Mat Midwest 308238B 36-Inch-by-50-Foot 1/4-Inch Mesh 23-Gauge Hardware Cloth that was easy to unwind and easy to install to solve this issue. Consider this mesh or as they call it Hardware Cloth?
