The only thing more important than over-engineering the house was to make the run an absolute fortress.We wrapped this around the entire perimeter and buried it about 9" underground to prevent digging predators. Then before burying, we lined the inside ditch with rocks and placed pavers around the outside to say "no, really... keep out." We lined the roof so that flying predators can't get in. I've been checking our outdoor cameras for predators but none have come around so far.The only sane way to cut this is with tin snips while wearing leather gloves. If you're considering using pliers or wire-cutters, do yourself a favor and buy a cheap pair of tin snips scissors. I laid mine out on the ground with a lawn chair holding down the loose end from rolling back and slashing me in the face. Then I rolled it out to the right length and it cut as easy as denim!!! Seriously, tin snips:  BOSTITCH 14-255 10-Inch Aviation Snips, Straight The welds are just as strong you would expect them to be. Had to bash some parts of this with a hammer to squeeze it into places that were a fairly tight fit. It will flex and bend when you hit it, but I was unable to break it with a hammer. That encourages me to believe predators will have a rough time compromising my chicken fortress.After buying three giant rolls of this on Amazon, there is no way I would consider purchasing it at Orange Box store next time. I bought it there in the past. This stuff is of equal quality and significantly cheaper. ### ⭐ Lead in "galvanized hot dipped" hardware cloth. *by L***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2016* After receiving the hardware cloth I saw a comment on Amazon about lead being in this product. Before opening the roll I contacted Mat Midwest Air Tech to ask if they knew what the lead content was in their hardware cloth. They got back to me the following day stating the lead content in the hardware cloth was 620 ppm. I need a barrier at the bottom of my raised garden beds to keep the moles/voles from entering and eating the plants. This would have been suited the purpose, but I didn't want to contaminate the organic soil with more lead. Not knowing if 620 ppm would be safe to use, I found the following information online."Lead contaminated soil can pose a risk through direct ingestion, uptake in vegetable gardens, or tracking into homes.Uncontaminated soil contains lead concentrations less than 50 ppm but soil lead levels in many urban areas exceed 200 ppm. (AAP 1993)The EPA's standard for lead in bare soil in play areas is 400 ppm by weight and 1200 ppm for non-play areas. This regulation applies to cleanup projects using federal funds.The soil screening level Adobe PDF file [PDF - 1.43 MB]External Web Site Icon (SSL) for lead represents a conservative estimate for a level that would be protective of public health in residential soils based on an analysis of the direct ingestion pathway for children. This value is for guidance only and is not enforceable."For this reason the hardware cloth was returned. ### ⭐ Less expensive but does not last long... *by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2014* I purchased this to use in rabbit cages. We stapled the wire to a two by four frame. It went together nicely. But in 4 months, the wires started coming apart. At first I thought the rabbits did it. I switched them out into other cages (made with wire from another source--same wire, same size etc) and they had no issues with the wire and those cages. As I was using this same roll to re-do the wire on these cages, the roll of wire started coming apart in my hands as I was again stapling to the 2 x 4's. It's not the rabbits tearing it up. The wire stinks. I purchased it because I thought it was a good deal. It was less expensive than Home Depot. All of the cages have come apart. Now I have to re-do them. It is less expensive but it doesn't last long either. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5887220-mat-midwest-308200b-hardware-cloth-galvanized](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5887220-mat-midwest-308200b-hardware-cloth-galvanized) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
